Preliminary Studies on Antidiabetic, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities...IJARIIT
Pharmaceutical industries are still in the hunt of effective scavengers for free radicals from the unexplored
medicinal plants. About 80,000 species of plants are utilized for treating various diseases in different systems of Indian
medicine. Many pharmaceutical companies giving importance in plant-derived drugs mainly due to the current widespread
belief that 'Green Medicine' is safe and more dependable than the costly synthetic drugs, which have adverse side effects.
The objective of the study is isolation of Phytochemical active constituents, Antidiabetic, antimicrobial and
antioxidant activities of the rare Antidiabetic medicinal plant Epaltes divaricata (Linn.) since the selected plant has varied
medicinal properties used in Ayurveda. This valuable plant is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate jaundice,
diabetes mellitus, urethral discharges and acute dyspepsia. It is also regarded as a diaphoretic, diuretic and a stimulating
expectorant.
The methanol extract of Epaltes divaricata L. showed excellent antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.
Phytochemical analysis was carried out for the same extract by two different standard methods and which confirmed the
presence of steroids, triterpenoids and phenolic compounds. Decreasing of postprandial hyperglycemia is a therapeutic
approach for treating diabetes mellitus. This can be achieved in current trends through the inhibition of carbohydrate
hydrolyzing enzymes such as alpha glucosidase and alpha amylase. Agents with α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory
activity are very useful as oral anti hypoglycemic agents for the control of hyperglycemia in patients who have diabetes
mellitus. In this study the methanol extract exhibited above 50% of inhibition in all standard concentration.
The term "traditional medicine" refers to ways of protecting and restoring health that existed before the arrival of modern medicine. As the term implies, these approaches to health belong to the traditions of each country, and have been handed down from generation to generation. Traditional systems in general have had to meet the needs of the local communities for many centuries as a primary health care system.
Cucurbits are edible crops, belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. They are climbers with reserves in roots and are distributed mainly in tropical zones. They are mostly moist vines and are distributed in both the eastern and western hemispheres. The member of this family are excellent fruit crops having most of the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals required for the good health of humans. All parts of the Cucurbitaceae plants (leaf, stem, root or tuber, fruit and seeds) are used in the traditional system of medicine. Wide research is going on to search a new active compound and to analyze their medicinal properties. The present review of Cucurbitaceae family deals with the very large amount of updated information of scientific research and report in the field of phytochemistry and pharmacology.

2. Introduction
Nature has been source of medicinal agents since time immemorial. The importance of herbs
in the management of human ailments cannot be over emphasizing. It is clear that the plant
Kingdom harbours inexhaustible source of invaluable in the management of many intractable
diseases1,2,3. These active principles are known as phytochemical. Phytochemical are non-
nutritive chemicals that have protected human beings from various diseases4. The
International Trade Centre published a study on the market for the selected medicinal plants
and their derivatives5.
The plants belonging to family Zingeberaceae are found to be a rich source of substances of
phytochemical interest. Curcuma is one member of this family. Literature survey indicates
the presence of multiple chemical constituents in the rhizome6,7,8. Curcuma amada is one
specie of this family which is traditionally used as stomachic9, carminative9 and CNS
activity10.
The distribution of C.amada is from India to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Northern
Australia. In India, it is distributed in wild part of W. Bengal and cultivated in Gujarat, U.P.,
Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and North East States. They are used in making pickles in
South India. The taxonomy of the specie is a subject of some confusion as some authorities
considered the name C. mangga as identical, others describe it as a distinct species with C.
mangga being found in South India while C. amada is of East India origin11. C. amada is
untapped medicinal species of this family. This article explores importance of C. amada.
3. Morphological Features and Taxonomy

10. II. Biological Activities
Cytotoxicity Activity: C. amada extracts have shown
cytotoxic activities on the human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (a
hormone dependent breast cell line); KB (a nasopharyngeal
epidermoid cell line); A549 (a lung cell line) Ca-Ski (a cervical
cell line) and HT-29 (a colon cell line). The extract shows no
cytotoxicity against the non-cancerous human fibroblast cell line
MRC-516. Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most aggressive
and lethal form of human malignancies, with a median survival of
only 12-15 months. The CO2 extract of mango ginger showed
anticancer potential against in human glioblastoma cells. C. amada
extract showed significantly higher cytotoxicity than
Temozolomide, Etoposide (chemotherapy medicine) 118,19,207. C.
amada extract combined with other cancer drugs like Vinblastine,
Temozolomide, Etopside and Cyclophophamide demonstrated
synergistic effects for in vitro cytotoxicity in cancer line cells.
11. Immune Modulator: Any components which can alter
immunity are considered as immune modulators. In
fighting against various diseases immune system plays an
important role. Study concludes that ethanol extract of C.
amada, posses significant immune modulator effect and
this effect mediated through stimulation of phagocytosis
activity, β cells and T cells. This test assessed using In-vitro
phagocytosis activity, delayed type hypersensitivity and
Hem agglutination test. Extraction of plant rhizome was
performed using ether, chloroform, acetone and ethanol.
Ethanol extract shows maximum immune modulator
activity21.
12. . Antioxidant activity: The ethanol extract of C. amada was
subjected for its antioxidant activity. All observation indicates the
presence of free radical scavenging activity in C. amada (>50%).
The activity could be attributed to super reducing power of both
phenol and curcumin content, and to essential oil curzerenone22. A
study of total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of aqueous
acetone and methanolic extract from raw and boiled rhizomes of C.
amada is investigated. The present investigation indicates that the
processed sample of acetone extract was more effective in
extraction of bioactive compounds than raw sample of both the
extract. The results illustrated that considerable potential as
functional food ingredients due to presence of excellent source of
starch and fibres, minerals and trace minerals, phenolic compounds
etc which possesss high antioxidant activity23.
13. Neurodegenerative: Disease of aging involving the
accumulates of protein-aggregation, oxidative damage and
inflammation. This results in the loss of functional neurons
and synapses. Curcumin has an outstanding safety profile
and a number of pleiotropic actions with potential for
neuroprotective efficacy including anti-inflammator, anti-
oxidant and anti protein aggregate activities. These can be
achieving at submicromolar levels. Curcumin has at least 10
known neuroprotective actions and many of these might be
realized in vivo. Indeed accumulating cell culture and animal
model data show that dietary curcumin is a strong candidate
for use in prevention of major disabling age related
neurodegenerative diseases like Alzeimers, Parkinsons and
stroke24.
14. Neutraceutical: The sequential extract of mango
ginger rhizomes powder carried out using hexane,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and
water. The phenolic content presence in methanol
extract was highest, followed by acetone, ethtyl
acetate and water extract. Among these, chloroform
extract exhibit high lipid per oxidation inhibitory
activity and metal chelating activity, where ethyl
acetate extract showed high DPPH radical
scavenging activity and super oxide radical
scavenging activity. These extracts also showed
potential platelet-aggregation inhibition activity and
cytotoxicity properties. These activity of C. amada
extracts can be correlated with their phenolic
content and other bioactive constituents25.
15. monocytogenes,enteroccus fecalis and Salmonella typhi.
Chloroform extract was most effective in comparison to other
organic solvent extracts28,29. The essential oil C. amada rhizome
was antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia
coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
salmonella paratyphi, Vibrio cholera, enterobacter aerogenes,
Streptococcus pneamoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus,
Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris and Serratia marcescens30.
Anti-inflammatory activity: The crude extract of
rhizome of C. amada showed presence of multiple chemical
constituents with hydroxyl, ester, carboxyl and olefinic
groups. The extract exhibited dose dependent anti-
inflammatory activity in Albino rats using acute carrageeran
paw oedema and chronic granuloma pouch model, which
was found to be statistically significant at higher
concentration31.
16. Hypertriglyceridemic activity: Mango ginger extract
showed hypotriglyceridemic activity and influenceson
both liver synthesis and blood clearance. They reported
hypotriglyceridemic activity on triton-induced
hyperlipidemic rats32,33.
Antifungal activity: The volatile oil from mango
ginger rhizomes antifungal in nature. Myrcene and
pinene are the major components of volatile oils
responsible for antifungal activity against the fungi viz.
Curvularis palliscens, Aspergillus niger, A. Terreus,
Fusarium moniliforme and F. Falcatum34 and also
essential oil showed antifungal activity against
sugarcane pathogenic fungi such as Physalospora
tucumanensis, Sclerotium rolfsii, Helmin thosporium,
Saccari and Cephalosporium sacchar35.
17. Antimicrobial activity: C. amada rhizome is antibacterial with aqueous
and organic solvent butanol, chloroform, ethanol, methanol extract against
four bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus species, Streptococcus
species, Pseudomonas species. All four pathogens were isolated from
clinical sample and identified by biochemical characterisation. Microbial
susceptibility assays was done by agar dilution method. The extracts were
effective against all four pathogens, but chloroform extract exhibited
highest anti bacterial activity compare to other solvent and aqueous
extract26. In the same extent rhizomes subjected to hexane, chloroform and
methanol extract. These extract tested for the bacteria Ralstronia
solanacearum, in 5,10,25,50 and 100 mg/ml. The essential oil in 1%, 5%,
10% was also tested. The testing performed agar well diffusion method.
All the extracts exhibited almost similar level of antimicrobial activity
with a zone of ranging from 3-9mm. The essential oil exhibited 3-7mm.
Zone of inhibition. The major constituents of essential oil are β-myrcene
and β-pinene27. C. amada rhizome different extracts like hexane,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol also have highly
antibacterial against Bacillus cereus, B. Subtilis, Micrococcus luteus,
Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria
18. CONCLUSION
In today’s, adverse environmental condition multi drug resistant pathogens are widely
distributed and increasingly being isolated from community. In the tenure of multi drug
resistant strain pathogens, there is a drastic need of novel antimicrobial. Researches
giving attention to herbal products, to develop better drug against multi resistant
microbes strains. These products are basically have no side effects. Spices, like clove
and cinnamon exhibited antimicrobial in 1880’s. In the same step C. amada (mango
ginger) become important due to their potential activities like anticancer, anti-
inflammatory, antidepressant, antimicrobial, antioxidant and active in
neuradegenerative diseases Alzheimer, Parkinson, stroke etc. It also has synergetic
property i.e. enhancing the another chemical activity. It has many therapeutic
importance in Ayurveda and Unani traditional trends of medicines. Very little
information available for aerial part of the plant. It consists of various bioactive
chemical components like starch, phenolic acids, volatile oils, curcuminoids and
terpenoids. Essential oil, have shown numerous beneficial effects for health
maintenance and treatment of disease Therefore their is need to untapped this species
for its bioactive numerals..
