Magical and Spiritual Beliefs: In some tribal cultures, believed to possess protective qualities and is used to ward off evil energies or negative influences31.
REPORTED PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:
Antioxidant activity:
Plant extract consists of anthocyanin which shows the antioxidant action which helps to reduce oxidative stress32. This anthocyanin, scavenging the free radicals, induces the anti-oxidant enzyme and chelates metal agents33. It actsas the most effective and natural agent in the body which majorly helps in Alzheimer's treatment, CVS treatments and apoptotic disorders also on skin diseases34.
Antibacterial activity:
Secondary metabolites of Adenocalymma alliaceum shows the inhibitory action on microbial growth and characterized in methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and aqueous extracts were active against E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus malleus, and Proteus vulgaris but the aqueous extract was ineffective against Bacillus subtilis35.The methanolicextract is majorly effective in treatment of bacteria which is more prone towards gram positive bacterial infection than gram negative bacterial infection 36.
Anti-diabetic activity:
Adenocalymma alliaceum flowers extractcontains flacitran which is flavonoid category constituents helps to reducehyperglycemia activity as well as alters the pancreatic mode of action 37,38. Here majorly allicin constituents act as anti-diabetic nature by inhibiting advanced glycation end product (AGE) which eliminates further oxidative stress over body and helps to increase pancreatic anti diabetic action 39,40. Further it inhibits the radical formations, increases glucokinase performance, diabetic complications 41.
Anti-hyperlipidaemic activity:
Flowers containing constituents showhypolipidemic activity in both animals and humans meaning it inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine which leads to decrease all bad cholesterollevelsin the body 42. Prominently beta amyrin shows hypoglycaemic activity by reducing VLDL protein and increasing HDL level in the body43. Flavonoid flacitran also affects the metabolic symptoms, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, serum urea, elevating body weight, high-density lipoprotein, and serum protein44.
Anti-rheumatic drug:
Adenocalymma alliaceum usually bark tincture shows Cox inhibiting action which also helps to reduce inflammation as well as oedema45.Plantsconsist of allicin as well as diallyl sulphide act as anti-inflammatory agents which effectively treat the autoimmune disease i. erheumatoid arthritis and help to reduce excess of joints inflammation and swelling45.
Ant aflatoxigenic activity:
Anti aflatoxigenic action means the reduction of lipid peroxidation activity which leads to decreased aflatoxin biosynthesis and this inhibitory action affects microbial cells46. It against fungal isolates that cause biodeterioration of cereal grains, legume seeds, dry fruits, fresh fruits, and raw herbal drugs during storage and transportation also possesses a wide spectrum of fungi toxicity against fungi associated with deterioration of food commodities and herbal drugs47.
Fungicidal activity:
Direct shows action on fungal cells and permanently stops their activity which leads to cidal effect which is majorly used to treat fruit disease like stem end rot disease 48.
Anticancer activity:
This Adenocalymma alliaceum shows the anti-cancer activity on cancerous cellsmainly targets the T3HA cancerous cells by destroying their colonies 49. These constituents show activity by arresting the G2/M phase, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondria mediated apoptosis. Overall affects the functioning of cells and disturbs cell function which leads to death of cancer cells with less effect over healthy cells 50.
Anthelmintic activity:
Anthelmintic action shows against the pheretima posthuma which is proven under in vitro and in silico method51. Such as 7-O- methyl glucuronide, scutellarin, luteolin, and ursolic acid show such types of activity 52.
Larvicidal activity:
This acts over the growth and development of mosquito larvae, prolonging and delaying the larval and duration of pupal53. This happened because of the presence of disulphide and diallyl sulphide constituents which are used in various concentrations for treatment 54. It acts by impairing the action of various enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, amino and carboxy peptidase55. In vivo as well as in vitro assay also determines that both phytoconstituents show activity via inhibiting acetylcholinesterase 56.
CONCLUSION:
Adenocalymma alliaceum, commonly known as Garlic Vine or Shamantak, is an herbal shrub native to the Amazon rainforest and northern Brazil, with some presence in India. It is prized for its ornamental qualities, featuring bright green leaves and tri-colored blooms with a distinct garlic-like fragrance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this plant holds significant pharmacological potential. Its bark, leaves, stems, and roots contain bioactive compounds like diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide, which exhibit antimicrobial, antihyperlipidemic, antifungal, and antimycotic activities. These properties make Adenocalymma alliaceum a promising candidate for the development of allopathic drugs, particularly in the management of diabetes mellitus. However, despite its cultural significance, this plant remains underrepresented in published literature, indicating the need for further research to fully explore its therapeutic benefits. In summary, Adenocalymma alliaceum is an intriguing herbal shrub with remarkable pharmacological potential. Its captivating appearance and bioactive compounds make it an attractive choice for landscaping, while its medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of diabetes, hold promise for allopathic drug development.
