| PAS 1 | This plant has been used traditionally for medicinal purposes. The plant possesses anti-inflammatory, antimetastatic, antitumor, coagulant and anti-coagulant (dose dependent), disinfectant, antiparasitic, wound healing, insecticidal, pregnancy terminating activity and antidiarrhoeal effect. The main constituents of the plant are curcin, curcusone-B, curcain etc. Apart from this, the plant also contains toxic principle such as tetramethylpyrazine (TMPZ).

| PAS 2 | Methanolic and hot water extracts of kernel meal showed antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria (inhibition range: 0–1.63 cm) at the concentrations of 1 and 1.5 mg/disc. Methanolic extract exhibited antioxidant activities that are higher than hot water extract and comparable to β-carotene. The extracts tended to scavenge the free radicals in the reduction of ferric ion (Fe3+) to ferrous ion (Fe2+). Cytotoxicity assay results indicated the potential of methanolic extract as a source of anticancer therapeutic agents toward breast cancer cells.

| PAS 3 | Butea monosperma (Lam.) Taub belong to family Fabaceae, widely distributed in India and in all Asian hemispheres. It is a plant that has been electively used in traditional Asian medicines for centuries. It has been used for the treatment of different ailments such as cancer, diabetes, diarrhoea, dysentery, fever and jaundice. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have indicates its anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, anti-oxidant, anti-convulsant, anti-microbial, anti-viral and hepatoprotective properties. The aerial part of the plant contains a large number of phytochemicals mainly flavonoids, lactones, diterpenoids, diterpene glycosides and phytosterols.

| PAS 4 | The plant is traditionally reported to possess astringent, bitter, alterative, aphrodiasiac, anthelmintic, antibacterial and anti-asthamatic properties. Bark yields red juice known as ‘Butea gum’or‘Bengalkino’. Previous phytochemical examination of this plant indicated the presence of various constituents some of these are Cajanin and isoformononetin; Stigmasterol; Butin; two known flavonoids, isobutrin (3, 4, 2', 4'-tetrahydroxychalcone-3, 4'- diglucoside), and the less active butrin (7, 3', 4'- trihydroxyflavanone-7, 3'-diglucoside); free sugars and free amino acids and (-)-3-hydroxy-9- methoxypterocarpan (medicarpin) which were isolated from stem-bark extract; bark; seeds; flower; the petroleum ether extract of flowers and petroleum and ethyl acetate extract of stem bark. Its reported pharmacological properties include anthelmintic, anticonceptive, anticonvulsive, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, antiestrogenic and antifertility, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antistress, chemopreventive, haemaggultinating, hepatoprotective, radical scavenging, Thyroid inhibitory, antiperoxidative and hypoglycemic effects and wound healing activities. It is powerful astringent and is given in many forms of chronic diarrhoea. Seeds have anthelmintic property especially for roundworms and tapeworms.[ Ashish Mishra*, Saket Verma, , Abhinav Prasoon Mishra, A Plant Review: Butea Monosperma (Lam.)

| PAS 5 | Flowers are used as drug in many ailments like eye disease, chronic fever, enlargement of spleen, leucorrhoea, epilepsy, leprosy, antifungal activity, anti-inflammatory activity, liver disorders antifertility activity and gout etc. The plant parts are used in the form of extract, juice, infusion, powder and gum. The present paper enumerates various pharmacognostic and pharmacological aspects of the plant.[ Sunil Roshan1, Prabhakar Sharma*1, Ramchandra Gupta1, Sudhakar Sharma, BUTEA MONOSPERMA A TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL PLANT: - AN OVERVIEW, ] https://www.pharmatutor.org/articles/butea-monosperma-traditional-medicinal-plant-overview |
| PAS 6 | Its reported pharmacological properties include anthelmintic, anticonceptive, anticonvulsive, antidiabetic, antidiarrhoeal, antiestrogenic and antifertility,antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antistress, chemopreventive, haemaggultinating, hepatoprotective, radical scavenging, thyroid inhibitory, antiperoxidative and hypoglycemic effects and wound healing activities. It is powerful astringent and is given in many forms of chronic diarrhoea. Seeds have anthelmintic property especially for roundworms and tapeworms.[ Firdaus Rana and Mazumder Avijit, REVIEW ON BUTEA MONOSPERMA, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN PHARMACY AND CHEMISTRY, IJRPC 2012, 2(4)] http://www.ijrpc.com/files/19-2180.pdf |
