| Abstract/Description: | Mangrove plants are part of tropical marine ecosystems of coastal regions of Kerala and their parts are widely used as folklore medicines. Root extracts of Rhizophora mucronata and Rhizophora apiculata from Cochin backwater area were screened for antipyretic and wound healing properties. Methanolic aqueous root extracts of R. mucronata and R. apiculata were tested at 460 and 535 mg per kg concentrations respectively, in male albino rats. In both cases, bioactivities were compared with that of standard drug and a control group. Among the two species analyzed, maximum activity was observed in the methanolic root extracts of R. apiculata followed by R. mucronata. It is postulated that antipyretic and wound healing effects are caused by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and decrease in the cytokine levels. Phytochemical screening of residues revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and glycosides, which may account for the observed pharmaceutical effects in the Rhizophora species studied. |
