Catharanthus roseus approach to the
Biotechnological Techniques:
Introduction
It is a gift of nature that contains
medicines and benefits to treat many diseases. This plant can also be used for
cancer treatment. It is also characterized by the fact that the plant naturally
produces many secondary metabolites to protect itself from environmental stress
attacks and pathogens.
Today, we will make the plant topic related to herbal plant. Of course, this plant will be around you and you will have seen it. This plant contains Phyto-chemicals.
What diseases can be treated with
Catharanthus roseus?
This plant is very useful in the treatment
of serious diseases in which included diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure,
asthma, inflammation, dysentery, brain imbalance, malaria and other diseases
that occur due to dominant micro-organisms.
The usefulness of Catharanthus roseus
leaves:
The
crude leaves extract has anti-cancer activity. Its leaves used in making
traditional herbal medicine which is used to medicate these diseases.
·
An anti-diabetic
·
Indigestion
·
An anti-galactagogue
·
Vomitive
·
Menorrhagia.
The usefulness of Catharanthus roseus
roots:
It’s roots can be used in herbal medicine
to heal the affect of human body from
different diseases. The leaf juice of C. roseus proved significant and an
atherosclerotic as observed by decline in the serum levels of total
cholesterol. In its roots, the diseases that nature has cured are mentioned
here:
·
An astringent
·
Dysentery
·
Hemostatic
·
Malaria
·
Menorrhagia
·
Toothache
·
Skin infection
·
Purgative
The usefulness of Catharanthus roseus whole
Plant:
This plant is considered as a stunning
herb. This is a miracle of nature for humans and fight against the following
mentioned diseases:
·
Bitter
·
Purgative
·
Malaria vinblastine
·
Vulnerary
·
An antidiabetic.
Catharanthus roseus and Alkaloids:
This plant produces terpene indole alkaloid
and considered to be the back-bone for preparing medicine. It produces more
than 130 TIP’s. The most amazing biological activity to be researched on
dimeric alkaloids such as anhydro vinblastine, vinblastine and vincristine.
What is alkaloid?
Alkaloids are low molecular weight
nitrogenous compound. They are primarily designed to protect plants and
animals. Biotechnology is now being an approach to increasing such useful
alkaloid production.
Volatile and Phenolic Compound:
Catharanthus
roseus contains significant amounts of volatile and phenolic compounds including
Caffeoylquinic acids and flavonal glycosides which are known to anti-oxidant
activity. It has an important role in the body defense system that is act as an
anti-oxidant against reactive oxygen species which are harmful by forming such
products through normal cell aerobic respiration.
Multiple Applications of Catharanthus
roseus:
It has multiple applications in foods,
cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Ajmalicine and Serpentine:
These are Phyto-chemicals and used for
controlling the high blood pressure and other types of the cardio-vascular
disorders.
How Biotechnological Techniques helps:
Biotechnologies requires the examination and purposes of living organism or cell processes to create valuable products. Technologies is the set of applied life that involves using living organisms and bio-processes to produce or atter products for a particular purpose.
The production of flowering plants like as Catharanthus roseus has been regarded as the earliest case of technology and the fore-runner to contemporary genetic engineering, cell and society techniques. The pharmaceutical industry grows, creates and markets drug certified for function as medicines for human or animals. The plants will be separated into vegetative and reproductive. Vegetative complex includes origin, stem and leaves. If the leaves, roots and flowers of this plant are used in biotechnological lab and research work is done on them so it’s make possible to get satisfactory results from Catharanthus roseus.
Informative Tile:
Whatever the medicine is, it should always
be used on the advice of a doctor.
