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.

It contains a type of alkaloid which is why it has been used for anti-tumor and pharmaceutical purpose? It’s another characteristic of this plant that is used to treat diabetes and headaches. Nature has given us a complete knowledge in the form of plants. All plants around us have a lot of useful information hidden in them. If researchers, will research on them, many medicine can be made that can be used to rid the human body from diseases.

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.

     The discovery and development of vinblastine from the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus was a milestone in cancer chemotherapy. As a result, several major monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) drug (vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, vindesine and vinflunine) are in current use for treatment of different types of cancer and have led to great efforts and progress to learn how plants manufacture these drugs?

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.

Biotechnology is a field of applied biology that involves by using living organisms and bio-processes to create or modify products for a specific use. The cultivation of plants has been viewed as the earliest example of biotechnology and the precursor to modern genetic engineering and tissue culture technologies. The pharmaceutical industry develops and produces market drugs licensed for use as medications for humans.

Informative Tile:

          Whatever the medicine is, it should always be used on the advice of a doctor.
