Abstract
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that generally causes joint synovial inflammation as well as gradual cartilage and degenerative changes, resulting in progressive immobility. Cartilage destruction induces synovial inflammation, including synovial cell hyperplasia, increased synovial fluid, and synovial pane development. This phenomenon causes articular cartilage damage and joint alkalosis. Traditional medicinal system exerts their effect through several cellular mechanisms, including inhibition of inflammatory mediators, oxidative stress suppression, cartilage degradation inhibition, increasing antioxidants and decreasing rheumatic biomarkers. The medicinal plants have yielded a variety of active constituents from various chemical categories, including alkaloids, triterpenoids, steroids, glycosides, volatile oils, flavonoids, lignans, coumarins, terpenes, sesquiterpene lactones, anthocyanins, and anthraquinones. This review sheds light on the utilization of medicinal plants in the treatment of RA. It explains various phytoconstituents present in medicinal plants and their mechanism of action against RA. It also briefs about the uses of polyherbal formulations (PHF), which are currently in the market and the toxicity associated with the use of medicinal plants and PHF, along with the limitations and research gaps in the field of PHF. This review paper is an attempt to understand various mechanistic approaches employed by several medicinal plants, their possible drug delivery systems and synergistic effects for curing RA with minimum side effects.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY RELEVANCE One folk use of Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br. in "Dai" ethno-medicine system is to treat gouty arthritis, which might be caused by hyperuricemia, but anti-hyperuricemic investigation of A. scholaris were rarely reported. AIM OF THE STUDY To verify anti-hyperuricemic property of A. scholaris, and explore its bioactive compounds in vivo and in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-hyperuricemic bioactivity of the non-alkaloids fraction and compounds were evaluated with potassium oxonate (PO) induced hyperuricemia mice model in vivo, and monosodium urate (MSU) induced human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) was selected to test in vitro, respectively, with benzobromarone as the positive control. 11 triterpenoids were isolated by phytochemical methods and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and ECD calculation. RESULTS The non-alkaloids fraction of A. scholaris decreased the serum uric acid (UA) level in mice model significantly at the doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg, and then nine ursane- and two oleanane-triterpenoids including four new compounds (1-3 and 10) were isolated from the bioactive fraction, in which compounds 1, 4, 5, 6 and 10 exhibited better anti-hyperuricemic tendency in vitro by promoting the excretion of UA in MSU-induced HK-2 cell model at a concentration of 5 μM. Furthermore, compounds 1 and 4 were proved to reduce the serum UA level in mice significantly at 5 mg/kg in vivo. CONCLUSIONS The results supported the traditional use of A. scholaris in treating gouty arthritis, and also provided new bioactive triterpenoids for further chemical and pharmacological investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ayurdvedic derived medicines are most promising and effective in the treatment of several cardiovascular diseases. Cocculus hirsutus (CH) has been reported for broad spectrum of activities like anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, cardiotonic and hypotensive etc. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to find the cardio-protective effect of CH in experimental hypertension in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS For acute renal hypertension, CH animals were pre-treated with CH-1 (250 mg/kg) and CH-2 (500 mg/kg) p. o. for 14 days. On the 15th day, hypertension was induced by renal occlusion and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was recorded. For CAL pretreatment of CH-1 and CH-2 was given for 7 days on the 8th day animals were operated on for ligation. The MABP and the time of onset of ventricular tachycardia (VT), premature ventricular systole (PVS) were recorded. For induction of hypercholesterolemia, animals were fed with a high cholesterol diet (CD) with CH-1 and CH-2 for 21 days. The antioxidant potential of CH was done using the assay of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). RESULTS CH treatment significantly decreases the MABP, the onset of VT and PVS. The histology show intact cardiac muscle with minimum necrosis and inflammation. CH treatment shows significant decrease in cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose while HDL levels are significantly increased. The aortic section of CH-treated animals shows the intact layers of the artery, normal thickness and restoration of antioxidant enzymatic activity. CONCLUSION The study shows significant cardio protective effect of CH in experimental animals.

Abstract
Humans are adversely affected by exposure to cadmium (Cd) as it induces oxidative stress which damages kidneys, bones pulmonary tissues, liver, cardiovascular, immune, reproductive systems and influences endocrine secretions. In the present study tubotaiwine treatment regulated systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure of the Cd exposed rats. Tubotaiwine significantly promoted vascular responsiveness to Phe, ACh and SNP and reversed Cd mediated decrease in eNOS and increase in iNOS expression. Treatment of the Cd exposed rats with tubotaiwine reduced number of smooth muscle cells, decreased collagen content and promoted content of elastin in aortic artery walls. Tubotaiwine treatment significantly suppressed Cd-induced increase in MMP-2 and MMP-9 in rat aortic artery tissues. Increase in O2-, urinary nitrate/nitrite, MDA, carbonyl level and decrease in GSH production in rat blood and thoracic aorta tissues were effectively reversed by tubotaiwine treatment. Tubotaiwine treatment of the rats significantly reduced Cd-induced increase in blood, liver, heart and kidney tissue Cd content in dose dependent manner. Thus, tubotaiwine suppresses Cd induced hypertension in rats by reducing arterial stiffness, inhibition of oxidative stress and increasing vascular remodeling. Therefore, tubotaiwine has beneficial effect on Cd induced hypertension in rats and may be developed as a potential candidate for treatment of hypertension.

Abstract
The current investigation was carried out to screen antiarthritic potential of Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced arthritis. Cartilage damage was induced in experimental animals by intraplantar administration of LPS (1 mg/kg) and antiarthritic effect of MJ was screened in two doses of MJ-1 (20 mg/kg), MJ-2 (40 mg/kg) by intraperitoneally administration. Indomethacin (30 mg/kg p.o.) was used as standard drug. The severity of arthritis was evaluated by assessing arthritis score, secondary lesions, motility test, stair climbing ability, and dorsal flexion pain score method. The estimation of blood cytokine tumor necrosis factor- aplha (TNF-α),interleukine (IL-2 and IL-6) and thymus/spleen index was carried out to access the severity of inflammation. Estimation of hepaticenzymatic antioxidant activity superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)and radiological examination was carried out on 28th day. Results indicated that MJ showed significant reduction in severity of arthritis by decreasing arthritis score, secondary lesions where as significant increase in motility, climbing ability and flexion pain score was observed. Significant decreased in blood cytokine viz. TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 andthymus/spleen index was observed in MJ treated animals in dose dependent manner. MJ treated animals showed significant increased and restoration of hepatic antioxidant enzymatic activityof SOD, CAT, GSH, GPx where asradiological examination indicates protective effect on joint structure as compared to LPS treated rats. These current studies conclude that MJ has protective role in arthritis.

Abstract
Plant stress hormones (Phytohormones/PTH) are abundantly present in numerous vascular plants. Several classes of plant stress hormones like auxins (AU) & gibberellins (GA), cytokinins (CK), abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonates (JA), brassinosteroids (BR) and strigolactones are synthesized within specialized plant cells. Among them, jasmonate are prominent class of stress hormones involved in survival of plants in stressful conditions. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is ester of jasmonic acid is extensively studied for its potential clinical benefits. MeJA is used as an effective antimicrobial agent, food preservative, antioxidant in food and agricultural sectors. The clinical benefits of MeJA have been related to their prominent interactions with inflammatory NF-κB pathways, inhibition of enzymes, gene expression for synthesis of inflammatory mediators, signaling molecules, oxidative stress and modulation of pain perception/nociceptive responses. The objective of the present review is to provide an cohesive relation of MeJA in inflammation with reference to past and recent in-vivo and in-vitro investigations in broad perspectives.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of our investigation is to evaluate the anti-arthritic potential of isolated rosmarinic acid from the rind of Punica granatum. METHOD Rosmarinic acid was isolated by bioactivity-guided isolation from butanolic fraction of Punica granatum and acute toxicity of rosmarinic acid was carried out. The experiment was conducted at doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg, in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA)-induced arthritic rats. Various parameters, that is arthritic score, paw volume, thickness of paw, hematological, antioxidant and inflammatory parameters such as glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malonaldehyde (MDA) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were also estimated. RESULTS Rosmarinic acid significantly decreased the arthritic score, paw volume, joint diameter, white blood cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. It also significantly increased body weight, hemoglobin and red blood cells. The significantly decreased levels of TNF-α were observed in treated groups as compared to arthritic control rats (P < 0.001). At the same time antioxidant parameters (like GSH and SOD) were increased significantly while levels of MDA were significantly decreased (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The outcome of the present research concludes that rosmarinic acid showed significant anti-arthritic potential in FCA-induced arthritis in Wistar rats. This study represented the therapeutic role of rosmarinic acid from Punica granatum for the management of arthritis/rheumatoid arthritis/osteoarthritis and related inflammatory complications with negligible side effects which was still far from complete mitigation with available conventional medicines.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Loloh are herbal drinks produced and consumed exclusively in Bali (Indonesia) to prevent and treat different ailments. This is the first study to document plants species used as Loloh, reporting the phytochemical components and pharmacological properties of the most cited plants. Documenting the plants used in herbal drinks in Bali by local communities to treat various ailments (providing some information on phytochemistry and pharmacology of the most interesting plants). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethnobotanical data were obtained through semi-structured interviews (individual and group discussions) and questionnaires. Plant specimens were collected, identified and made into herbarium vouchers. RESULTS A total of 51 plants species (belonging to 32 families) have been documented for their use in the various preparation of Loloh. Different plants and plant parts are used to prepare Loloh to treat heartburn, fever, diarrhea, hypertension, aphthous stomatitis (canker sores), and other minor health problems. These plants are mainly prepared as decoctions, are juiced or simply added to the preparation. The most cited plants (>30 informants) are Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br., Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC., Cinnamomum burmanni Nees ex Bl., and Piper betle L. These plants are well studied with multiple demonstrated pharmacological activities (e.g., antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic). CONCLUSION The Balinese communities still preserve a rich ethnobotanical knowledge. Several species are well known for their pharmacological properties, but some [such as Pneumatopteris callosa (Blume) Nakai and Dendrocnide stimulans (L. f.) Chew] are understudied and could be promising candidates for further research.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Genkwa flos (Daphne genkwa Sieb. et Zucc.), a Chinese herbal medicine, has been traditionally used for over two thousand years in China for inflammation related symptoms, including joint pain. To evaluate the antioxidative effects of flavonoid aglycones (FA) isolated from Genkwa flos on adjuvant arthritis in rats and to identify the relationship between antioxidant potential and whole blood viscosity (WBV). MATERIALS AND METHODS FA compounds were identified using LC-MS and the content was assayed by HPLC. Arthritis was induced by an intradermal injection of Freund׳s complete adjuvant in the footpad. The effects of FA on paw volumes, secondary arthritis scores, histopathology of joints, and body and organ weights were measured. The antioxidant effects of FA and WBV were determined. RESULTS LC-MS analysis showed that the FA contained four major compounds: luteolin, apigenin, hydroxygenkwanin and genkwanin. FA significantly decreased paw edema, arthritis scores, and weight loss. These observations were consistent with the reduction of oxidative stress and the improvement of the WBV. CONCLUSION FA significantly decreased arthritis in a rat model through antioxidant and hemorheological modulatory mechanisms. The Genkwa flos flavonoids may have clinical potential for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2014; 153:1-18. [PMID: 24486598 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2014.01.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2013] [Revised: 01/19/2014] [Accepted: 01/21/2014] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br. and Alstonia macrophylla Wall. ex G. Don are two vital medicinal plant species (family: Apocynaceae). In India, the therapeutic use of Alstonia scholaris has been described in both codified and non-codified drug systems for the treatment of malaria, jaundice, gastrointestinal troubles, cancer and in many other ailments. Other species, Alstonia macrophylla has been used in conventional medicines in Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines as a general tonic, aphrodisiac, anticholeric, antidysentery, antipyretic, emmenagogue, and vulnerary agents. In India, Alstonia macrophylla is used as a substitute for Alstonia scholaris in various herbal pharmaceutical preparations. However, one certainly cannot evaluate the truthfulness of a practice (i.e. in scientific terms). In this article we discuss and summarize comparative data about traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicity of Alstonia scholaris and Alstonia macrophylla. Moreover, in order to unfold future research opportunities, lacunae in the present knowledge are also highlighted. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature about Alstonia scholaris and Alstonia macrophylla was collected by using electronic and library search. Additionally, referred books on traditional medicine and ethnopharmacology were also utilized for receiving traditional records about both the plant species. RESULTS Both Alstonia scholaris and Alstonia macrophylla are rich in different types of bioactive alkaloids. So far, broad spectrum of in vitro and in vivo biological and pharmacological activities have been reported to both the species. Amongst them, antimicrobial and anticancer activities were promising. CONCLUSIONS The use of Alstonia macrophylla as a substitute for Alstonia scholaris is not at all justifiable as both the species are distinct from each other in their phytochemistry and pharmacology. Further detail chemical fingerprinting and metabolic studies of these two species are warranted to prevent their mutual adulteration most importantly in the context of commercial preparations.
