GYROCARPUS ASIATICUS WILLD AND LACTUCA RUNCINATA DC: A NARRATIVE REVIEW Authors: Maity S , PADHY GK AND KANTHAL LK
ABSTRACT
The present study is aimed at reviewing the phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of
Gyrocarpus asiaticus Willd and Lactuca runcinata DC. The results of the current study are
based on literature research on phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of Gyrocarpus
asiaticus & Lactuca runcinata. These plants are valuable for antibacterial, anthelmintic,
cardiotonic, antioxidant, cytotoxic (anti-cancer), anti-diabetic, hypolipidaemic and
hepatoprotective effect. Toxicity study of the plant extracts were regarded as safe for animals.
Both the plants were revealed the various phytoconstitutents such as alkaloids, cardiac
glycosides, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenoids which are may be
responsible for different pharmacological activities. This literature review report of the plants
would provide a basis for phytochemistry and pharmacological screening & are safe for the
development of medicines and it will be more useful for researcher for further research work.
