Asucre Aadu Theenda Palai ~ Aristolochia Bracteata ~ Indian Birthwort ~ Snakeroot ~ Worm Killer
Indian Birthwort and Snakeroot are the common names of Aristolochia Indica. In Sanskrit it is known as Sunanda. The plant has been used as a traditional medicine for post-delivery-infections and snakebites. The flowers of this plant are said to resemble a snake or a curved foetus. The common Hindi name for this plant is Ishwar mul. The name suggests that it has the efficiency of neutralizing snake venom.
Aristolochia bracteata (Aristolochiaceae) is used in traditional medicines as a gastric stimulant and in the treatment of cancer, lung inflammation, and dysentery and snake bites. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Aristolochia bracteata root extracts. Roots of A. bracteata were powdered and successively extracted with ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, and water for 8 hours each using a Soxhlet extractor.
Antibacterial activity of dried extracts was evaluated by the pour-plate method against a few Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. All the crude extracts showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. The ethyl acetate extract was found to be the most effective. This study shows the potential for replacement of synthetic preservatives by the use of natural extracts.
The seed of Aristolochia bracteata contain 5.2 % oil. Physicochemical constants and fatty acid composition of the refined seed oil were determined. The seed oil was rich in linoleic acid (39.2 %) and oleic acid (32.8 %). Trace quantities of epoxy and hydroxy fatty acids were present in the seed oil.
The present research was designed to investigate the antioxidant activity from the Aristolochia bracteata plant (leaves stem and root). From methanolic extract of the Aristolochia bracteata contains alkaloids which were confirmed through TLC and HPTLC analysis. The plant showed as a definite positive effect on wound healing, with significant increase in the level of powerful antioxidant enzymes. Its root and leaves were bitter and anti-helminthic and are medicinally important. Almost every part of the plant has medicinal usage.
