Cissus Quadrangularis
1) It contains a rich source of carotenoids, triterpenoids and ascorbic acid. Compounds that act as receptor antagonists of glucocorticoids have reduced the healing time of broken bones 30 to 50 percent in clinical trials. It has also been used to treat obesity and associated oxidative stress.
2)Its bactericidal effects on Helicobacter pylori hold promise as an effective treatment of gastric ulcers and preventive in stomach cancer in conjunction with anti inflammatory therapy.
It contains polyphenols, flavonoids and stilbenes as active biomol-ecules.
Among them, Quadrangularin A, Kaempferol, Piceatannol, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Luteolin and Asarone are used in various medicinal purposes i.e. metabolic syndrome, weight loss, jaw fracture injuries and neuropharmacological effects.
The present study reveals that calcium was
found in stem (3.33g/100g), Followed by Calcium plays an
important role in living cells as an intracellular regulator or
messenger. It helps to regulate the activity of skeletal muscle,
heart and nervous tissues. Calcium is very important
especially during infancy, pregnancy and lactation.
Phosphorus was found in stem powder (0.20g/100g)
Nutraceutical profile of hadjod stem powder was studied. The
total alkaloids content were found 4.33 g/100g, while total
flavonoids were found to be 7.86 g/100g. The tannin content
was found to be 2.60 g/100g. saponin content was found that
3.85 g/100g .
The phenol content was found 0.322 g/100g
Also, glycoside were found 234g/100g. Tannins was
attributed for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities.
Apart from this tannins contribute property of astringency i.e.
faster the healing of wounds and inflamed mucous membrane . It could be noted that steroidal
compounds are of importance and of interest in pharmacy due
