Operculina turpethum (Linn.) (OT) Silva Manso belongs to the family Convolvulaceae. This review incorporates literature for the phytochemical and pharmacological profile of OT herb. Exhaustive literature survey was done using all the details on phytochemistry and pharmacology of OT available. This herb was found to be a potent source of bioactive compounds such as α- and β-turpethein, turpethinic acids (A, B, C, D, and E), coumarins, cycloartenol, lanosta-5-ene, 24-methylene-δ-5-lanosterol, α- and β-rhamnose, β-sitosterol, lupeol, scopoletin, betulin, acrylamide, stigma-5,22dien-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, β-sitosterol-β-D-glucoside (H-1), 22,23-dihydro-α-spinosterol-β-D-glucoside (H-2), and salicylic acid (CH-2), which are useful in fevers, edema, ascites, anorexia, constipation, hepatosplenomegaly, hemorrhoids, cervical lymphadenitis, fistulas, constipation, chronic gout, fever, bronchitis, ulcers, hemorrhoids, tumors, obesity, jaundice, herpes, induce lacrimation, and other skin disorders. From the aerial parts of OT, four new dammarane-type saponins that are operculinosides A-D (1-4) were isolated that showed particular hepatoprotective activities. All the compounds are reported to possess pharmacological properties such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hepatoprotective, anti-arthritic, ulcer protective, antidiarrheal, antidiabetic, and cytotoxic properties. © 2017 Pharmacognosy Reviews | Published by Wolters Kluwer - Medknow.
... Basically these are considered as phytoalexins since plants produce them as defence substances when wounded or attacked by other organisms [15]. They constitute an important class of pharmacological agents possessing a range of different physiological activities including anticancer, antioxidant [16], antiinflammation, anti-HIV, anti-coagulant, anti-bacterial [17], antitumour, analgesic [13,18] and comparative immune-modulation [15,19]. Furthermore, coumarin-containing plants are valuable as dietary supplements [20]. ...
Operculina turpethum (L) Silva Manso of the family Convolvulaceae, commonly known as Tihudi/Trivit in Hindi
and Dudholomo in Odiya, is an important medicinal plant. Mostly the root-bark and seed of this plant are used in
Ayurvedic system of medicine for treatment of various diseases like constipation, paralysis, bronchitis, obesity,
ulcers, haemorrhoids, tumours, jaundice etc. One of the chemical components of O. turpethum, responsible for its medicinal potential is Coumarin, a group of phenolic compound constituting an important class of pharmacological agent and displaying remarkable array of biochemical and pharmacological activities including
anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulant, anti-bacterial and analgesic effects. In the present study the presence of Coumarin content in the seed and root bark parts of O. turpethum, collected from various agro climatic zones of Odisha, was estimated through spectrophotometric method of analysis. The seeds and root-barks of O. turpethum were collected from four different regions of Odisha viz. Khurda, Bargarh, Balangir and Jajpur. The coumarin content in seed samples ranged from 0.061% to 0.21% dry wt. and root-bark samples had a range of 0.212-0.271% dry wt. In both the cases (root-bark and seeds), highest amount of coumarin was found in the samples collected from Khurda region followed by Bargarh, Jajpur and Balangir region of Odisha. The root-barks appeared to have higher quantity of coumarin irrespective of collection sources. Present study encourages propagation and cultivation of O. turpethum with the wild stock plants from Khurda region of Odisha having comparatively higher coumarin content especially in the root-barks.
Aragwadharishtam is an Ayurvedic preparation used mainly to detoxify the body. Its main use is in the cure of skin diseases, ulcers and piles. The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of Aragwadharishtam to know the presence of phytochemicals present in this medicine. The GC MS profile indicated the presence of some very important molecules such as Phnylethyl alcohol, Ethyl hydrogen succinate, Butanedioic acid diethyl ester, 4-Ethyl-2-hydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-one, Eugenol, Ethyl gallate, 1,2,3-Benzenetriol, Benzeethanol,4-hydroxy-, Hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester and Octadecanoic acid, 2,3-hydroxypropyl ester etc. These molecules have a number of important medicinal roles which could substantiate their participation towards the medicinal activity of Aragwadharishtam as a detoxifying formula as claimed by Ayurveda. However, further work in this direction is warranted to prove the medicinal efficacy of the medicine.
ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT:
Operculina turpethum is a Red-Listed (vulnerable category) medicinal plant distributed sporadically in Odisha. Propagation of ‘tihudi’ through seeds suffer from the problems like poor seed viabil¬ity, low percentage of germination. As an alternative, it can be mass propagated through vine-nodal cuttings. The cuttings were treated with two types of auxin combinations along with control. Maximum rooting, growth and development were influenced by the treatment T1- NAA (3000 ppm) + IBA (2000 ppm). The nodal cuttings with single node plus single leaf (C1) was found to be the best for vegetative propagation where the major outcomes like rooting percentage (79.91±1.08), root number (7.00±1.56), root length (10.61±1.63 cm), new flushes (3.00±0.94), survivability percentage (81.48±0.01) were obtained. Through utilization of this technique, mass production of quality planting materials of this valuable but vulnerable medicinal plant can be achieved.
