Immunomodulatory activity of methanolic extract of M. koenigii leaves was evaluated on humoral and cell mediated immune response to ovalbumin, phagocytic activity by carbon clearance test, nitric oxide (NO) release from murine peritoneal macrophages and cyclophosphamide induced myelosuppression. Significant increase in the NO production by mouse peritoneal macrophages was detected in culture su...

This study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial efficacy of herbal crude extract of Murraya koenigii against human Cariogenic pathogens. In this study Methanolic extract of Murraya koenigii were studied for phytochemical composition and GC-MS for active compound. Antioxidant potential assay by 1,1-Diphenyl2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2’-azinobis-3 ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic aci...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) on blood glucose level and in prevention or management of diabetic neuropathy. In the present study the diabetic neuropathy was developed 9 weeks after single injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 70 mg/kg i.v.) in rat. The treatment with MKL (300 and 500 mg/kg p.o.) was started after stabi...

Indigenous plants such as Ocimum Sancium, Aegle marmelos, Azadiracta indica, and Murraya koenigii decreased the blood sugar of streptozotocin diabetic rabbits. The most effective drug Aegle marmelos in different solvents showed different rate of hypoglycemic action. On feeding streptozotocin to diabetic rabbits for a period of 3 months aegle marmelos showed remarkable hypoglycemic action.

Medicinal plants or their bioactive compounds have been utilized by developing countries for primary and traditional healthcare system since very long period of time.
