A REVIEW ON PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF ALASTONIA AND VITEX NEGUNDO
AbstractTwo extensively researched medicinal plants having important ethnopharmacological significance in traditional medical systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine are Alstonia scholaris and Vitex negundo. Because of its high concentration of alkaloids, flavonoids, and triterpenes, Alstonia, and especially Alstonia scholaris, is well-known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antimalarial qualities. Comparably, Vitex negundo, sometimes referred to as the five-leaved chaste tree, offers a variety of medicinal properties, such as hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant actions. Bioactive substances like flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, and essential oils are mostly responsible for these effects. This abstract highlights the potential for Alstonia scholaris and Vitex negundo to be developed into new medicinal medicines by reviewing their phytochemical profiles and pharmacological actions.
