ABSTRACT

Medicinal plants play a vital role in drug discovery. Medicinal plants are very useful for human to cure various ailments. There is a worldwide interest in searching for the safe new phytochemical compound drugs. Some of the medicinal plants have been experimentally validated. Anti-inflammatory drugs like NSAIDs used to reduce the swelling and pain of inflammation. Longterm uses of NSAID cause adverse side effects and damage human biological system such as liver, gastrointestinal tract etc. Many medicinal plants are reported to have potential anti-inflammation activity. In this review we have described some medicinal plants which have potent anti-inflammatory activity.

Keywords: Ailments, Phytochemical, Anti-Inflammatory, Gastrointestinal.

INTRODUCTION

Inflammation is a complex biological response of vascular tissue to harmful stimuli, pathogens, irritants characterized by redness, warmth, swelling and pain [1,2]. Inflammation is either acute or chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation may be an initial response of the body to harmful stimuli. In chronic inflammation, the inflammatory response is out of proportion resulting in damage to the body. Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the key enzymes in the synthesis of prostaglandins, prostacyclins and thromboxanes which are involved in inflammation, pain and platelet aggregation [3]. Inflammatory diseases are major worldwide problem.

Many researchers reported that inflammation and several human diseases including heart attack and Alzheimer’s disease [4, 5, 6] and cancer [7]. Chronic inflammation lies at the basis of many diseases of advanced age such as heart attacks, Alzheimer’s diseases, and cancer [8]. The drugs used to reduce inflammation are NSAIDs. These drugs block COX-1 and COX-2 enzyme activity. COX enzymes assist with prostaglandin production. NSAIDs, steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are being used till now, As a result long term uses of these drugs cause adverse side effects and damage human biological system such as liver, gastrointestinal tract, etc. As a result of adverse side effects, like gastric lesions, cardiovascular, renal failure [9]and gastrointestinal damage[10,11] caused by NSAIDs.

Now there is a need for the new safe, potent, nontoxicor less toxic anti-inflammatory drug. Plant medicines are great importance in the primary healthcare in many developing countries. According to World Health Organization (WHO) still about 80% of the world population rely mainly on plant-based drugs. In Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani, utilizing a large number of medicinal plants were used for the treatment of human diseases [12]. The medicinal plants occupied a unique place in human life. It provides more information about the use of plants or plant parts as medicine[13]. Plant-based drugs used in the traditional medicine have paid great attention because it is easily available, less expensive and also have no side effects [14]. Plants have the ability to synthesize a wide verity of phytochemical compounds as secondary metabolites. Many of the phytochemicals have been used to effectively treat the various ailmentsfor mankind. World Health Organization has made an attempt to identify all medicinal plants used globally and listed more than 20,000 species. Most of the medicinal plant parts are used as raw drugs and they possess varied medicinal properties [15]. Plants have a great potential for producing new drugsand used in traditional medicine to treat chronic and even infectious diseases [16].The Phytomedicine are more import in the treatment of inflammation. In recent years, there is an increasing awareness about the importance of medicinal plants. Many medicinal plants have shown to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effect in the treatment of inflammation by using various models.

CONCLUSION

Large group of medicinal plants are used as traditional medicine, which have potential to cure various ailments. These medicinal plants which containing potential sources of phytocompounds which are used for many therapeutics. Almost all parts of the medicinal plant are used as medicines. Commonly available many medicinal plants are used in Indian traditional medicine. The above referred studies reported that the above mentioned medicinal plants have potent anti-inflammatory activity. In the above study, various models tested for its anti-inflammatory activity. Carrageenan, Histamine, Dextran, Serotonin induced hind paw oedema , cotton pellet induced granuloma, Freund’s Adjuvant are the standard experimental models of acute and sub-acute and chronic inflammation respectively. The test phytodrugs are effective in all the models of inflammation. This review paves a way for further identification of new compounds from various medicinal plants which may be effective in acute and chronic inflammation.
