This study documents information on significant ethnomedicinal plants, which was collected from the traditional healers of three indigenous communities Bangladesh. The documented data were quantitatively analyzed for first time in this area. obtained through open-ended, semi-structured questionnaires. benefits, importance and coverage ethnomedicine expressed several quantitative indices including Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), Use Value (UV), Frequency Citation (FC), Relative (RFC)...
Ophiorrhiza rugosa var. prostrata is one of the most frequently used ethnomedicinal plants by indigenous communities Bangladesh. This study was designed to investigate antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic and antibacterial activities ethanol extract O. leaves (EEOR). The were extracted with subjected in vivo antidiarrheal screening using castor oil-induced diarrhea, enteropooling, gastrointestinal transit models. Anti-inflammatory efficacy evaluated histamine-induced paw edema...
The present study documents the ethnomedicinal knowledge among traditional healers of Pangkhua indigenous community Bangladesh. documented data from this area was quantitatively analyzed for first time. We aimed to record information both and also elderly men women community, in order compile document all available concerning plant use preserve it coming generations. compare how already known species are used compared elsewhere particularly highlight new alongside their therapeutic use(s)....

Tetrastigma leucostaphylum (TL) is an important ethnic medicine of Bangladesh used to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Hence, current study has been designed characterize the antidiarrheal (in vivo) cytotoxic vitro) effects T. leucostaphylum. A crude extract was prepared with methanol (MTL) further partitioned into n-hexane (NTL), dichloromethane (DTL), n-butanol (BTL) fractions. Antidiarrheal activity investigated using castor oil induced diarrhea, enteropooling, gastrointestinal transit...
This study examined the effects of fresh crude extract from 215 plants on mortality rate third-instar larvae Aedes aegypti after a 24-hour exposure. Twenty five demonstrated high (up to 80%) at different concentrations. The LC50, LC90, and LC95 values tested showed that 15 were with 100% larvicidal potential. Stemona tuberosa highest efficacy against having LC50 = 3.78, LC90 7.51, 7.97, while Jatropha gossypifolia lowest i.e., 6.58, =11.23, 11.31. extracts Acmella radicans, Allium sativum,...
The ethanolic bark extract of Mitragyna diversifolia showed significant (p<0.05) antidiarrheal activity on gastrointestinal motility with barium sulfate milk model and castor oil- induced diarrheal in rats. These result obtained revealed that the possess pharmacological against diarrhea may possibly explain use plant traditional medicine.
Many Bangladeshi medicinal plants have been used to treat Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, anticholinesterase effects of eight selected plant species were investigated. Species based on traditional uses against CNS-related Extracts prepared using a gentle cold extraction method. vitro cholinesterase inhibitory measured by Ellman’s method in 96-well microplates. Blumea lacera (Compositae) Cyclea barbata (Menispermaceae) found highest...
Abstract Background The lack of appropriate prognostic biomarkers remains a significant obstacle in the early detection Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), cancer type with high mortality rate. Despite considerable advancements treatment, success diagnosing HNSCC at an stage still needs to be improved. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) are overexpressed various cancers, including HNSCC, have recently been proposed as possible therapeutic targets for...
As the incidence of neurodegeneration and cancer fatalities remains high, researchers are focusing their efforts on discovering developing effective medications, especially plant-based drugs, against these diseases. Hence, this research aimed to investigate neuropharmacological potentials aerial parts Tetrastigma leucostaphyllum, employing some behavioral models, while antiproliferative effect was explored a panel cell lines (MGC-803, A549, U-251, HeLa MCF-7) using colorimetric assay. In...
Abstract Background: The superior genus Jacquemontia belongs to Convolvulaceae, with around 120 species, and is also considered taxonomically difficult. aim of this experiment was assess the sedative hypnotic activities methanol extract from leaves paniculata (Burm.f.) Hallier f. Methods: were evaluated by hole-cross, open field, hole-board, elevated plus maze (EPM), thiopental sodium-induced sleeping time determination tests in mice at doses 200 400 mg/kg. Results: In investigation, we...
The ethnomedicinal practices of Marma indigenous community Bangladesh is considered rich. This study aimed to compile their medicinal plant usage get fresh insights into newer ethnobotanical uses. Ethnomedicinal information was collected through open‐ended/semi structured techniques following field interview, interview and market survey from key informants. Documented data further analyzed using different quantitative indices. Jaccard index also calculated show the degree similarity with...
