    ANTIFUNGAL, PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANALYSIS OF STEM AND FRUIT OF AMPLELOCSSUS LATIFOLIA (ROXB)PLANCH
    (Kongunadu Arts and Science College, Coimbatore, 2018-08-07) Sumathi R; Kalaivani R
    Ampelocissus latifolia is climber belonging to the family Vitaceae and found throughout the India.Traditionally the plant has high medicinal value and used for indigenous treatment of numerousdiseases including bone fracture, dysentery, dental problems, stomach pain, body weakness, bodystrengthening etc. In present study freshly collected fruit and stem of Ampelocissus latifolia (Roxb.)were subjected to preliminary phytochemical and antifungal study. Different concentrations (10, 20,30, 40, 50μg/μl) of each extract were studied in the Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay toquantify the proteins. Stem and fruit powder was examined by Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy to recognize the functional groups. A wide range of phytochemical constituents have been isolated from this plant. A comprehensive account of phytochemical constituents and its antifungal activity reported are also included in this paper for exploring the immense medicinal potential of this plant.

    ANTIFUNGAL, PHYTOCHEMICAL, PROTEIN AND FT-IR ANALYSIS OF AMPELOCISSUS LATIFOLIA (ROXB.) PLANCH
    (International Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences, 2018) Kalaivani V; Sumathi R
    In recent times, focus on plant research has increased all over the world. The therapeutic effect of these plants for the treatment of various diseases is based on the chemical constituents present in them. Medicinal plants provide affordable means of health care for poor and marginalised people. Ampelocissus is a genus of Vitaceae family. The FT-IR analysis of stem and fruit powder showed the alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, esters, amines, ketones, aldehydes. Despite its well- recognised medicinal and economic potential, there are no commercial plantations worldwide. Wild plants have continuously been used to meet the growing commercial demand in terms of their socio-economic value. Ampelocissus latifolia is the plant which may not be freely available in future due to over exploitation, habitat destruction or lack of domestication and cultivation. Since this plant species is an important ingredient of several medicines due to its usefulness, phytochemical investigation for isolation of important active ingredients through cell culture will be helpful
