| 1 | Exploring the potential of Crotalaria juncea flower extracts as a source of antioxidants, antimicrobials, and cytoprotective agents for biomedical applications | The highest antioxidant activity was obtained with 100% ethanol extraction and using the hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay (56.63%). Antimicrobial activity was assessed against six human pathogens, including the fungi Microsporum gypseum and five Gram-positive bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Streptococcus mutans), as well as one Gram-negative bacterium (Escherichia coli ). The CJ flower extract inhibited the growth of both fungal and bacterial pathogens. The cytotoxicity of the CJ flower extract was measured using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, and the highest concentration of the extract (100 μg/ml) did not affect L929 cell viability. Moreover, the CJ flower extract demonstrated the ability to suppress H2O2-induced toxicity in L929 cellsOverall, the CJ flower extract has potential as an alternative source for exploring new antioxidants, antimicrobial agents, and cytoprotectants that could prove valuable for biomedical applications. |
| 2 | The contents and pharmacology of Crotalaria juncea-A review | In Ayurvedic medicine, B. prionitis Linn. is used extensively in India, Sri Lanka, tropical Asia, and Africa. The evidence that it can be utilized to treat a wide range of illnesses was illustrated by B. prionitis Linn. The discovery that pure phytochemicals and crude extracts of B. prionitis Linn. leaves have been screened for various pharmacological activities and found to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activity, as well as antidiabetic activity in the plant's stem bark and antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic activity in the juices, is intriguing. This article offers a thorough analysis of the many sections of B. prionitis, including their toxicity, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and traditional uses. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed the extract and isolated bioactive compounds from B. prinitis that have promising pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-dental, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, enzyme inhibitory, anti-hypertensive, analgesic effects without being toxic. As a result of the aforementioned research, it is possible to identify this species and distinguish it from others using a variety of characteristics, including pharmacognostical, phytochemical, qualitative, and semi-quantitative (limit tests) methods. In the etanolic extract of leaves and roots, phytochemical screening revealed the presence of saponins, flavanoids, alkaloids, glycosides, and tannins, indicating its potential use in treating children's fever, whooping, cough, toothache, glandular swelling, anascara, rheumatic pain, stomach issues, and catarrh. |
| 3 | Medicinal uses of sunn hemp (crotalaria juncea linn): a review article | Animals treated with the alcoholic extract of leaves of B. prionitis Linn showed a significant decrease in blood glucose level (P<0.01) and glycosylated hemoglobin (P<0.01). A significant increase was observed in serum insulin level (P<0.01) and liver glycogen level (P<0.05), whereas the decrease in the body weight was arrested by administration of leaf extract to the animals. The alcoholic extract of roots showed a moderate but non-significant antidiabetic activity in experimental animals. |
| 4 | Fatty acid composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities of seed oil from Crotalaria juncea Linn. | Chemical characteristics, fatty acid composition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities of Crotalaria juncea seed oil (CJSPE) were evaluated in this study its anti-inflammatory effect was comparable to that of diclofenac sodium. However, moderate antibacterial activity of CJSPE was observed. In conclusion, the study demonstrated significant antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities of CJSPE. |
| 5 | Antifertility Activity of Various Extracts of Crotalaria juncea Linn., Seeds in Male Mice | Petroleum ether, benzene and ethanolic extracts of Crotalaria juncea Linn. seeds were administered intraperitoneally at the dose level of 25 mg/100 g body weight to albino male mice for 30 days. The results show decrease in the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids in testis along with reduced caudal spermatozoa. Biochemical observations indicate increased level of cholesterol and significant reduction in protein and glycogen content. The increased cholesterol content along with degeneration of Leydig cells indicate inhibited steroidogenesis. The decrease in the weight of accessory reproductive organs further attributes lowered availability of androgens due likely to inhibited steroidogenesis. Out of three extracts tested, ethanolic extract seems to be more potent in antispermatogenic and antisteroidogenic activities. When ethanolic extract was tested in immature mice for androgenic activity, it showed its antiandrogenic potency as the weight of accessory sex organs were reduced. |
| 6 | Effect of Crotalaria juncea seed extracts on the estrous cycle and ovarian activity in albino mice | The weight of the uterus and its micrometric measurement in all experimental mice are increased significantly. The alcoholic extracts showed estrogenic activity in immature mice by early opening of the vagina, premature cornification of the vaginal epithilium and increases in uterine weight. However, alcohol extract of seeds of C. juncea was more effective in causing these changes compared to other extracts. After subjecting to preliminary phytochemical screenings alcohol extract showed positive; test for alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, flavones, phenols and tannins. |
| 7 | Anti-inflammatory and Anti-ulcerogenic Effect of Crotalaria juncea Linn. in Albino Rats | CJE significantly inhibited adjuvant induced arthritis and has significant antiinflammatory effect (p<0.001). It has anti-ulcerogenic property compared to indomethacin, which may be due to appetite suppressant activity. |
| 8 | Role of an Ethanolic Extract of Crotalaria juncea L. on High-Fat Diet-Induced Hypercholesterolemia | The present study showed that an ethanolic extract of Crotalaria juncea L. influences several blood lipid and metabolic parameters in rats, suggesting a potential benefit as an antihypercholesterolemic agent. |
