Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Chloropyhtum comosum (Thunb.) Jacques is a common ornamental plant known as Spider plant. It is native of Africa. In China, it is traditionally used in treatment of bronchitis, cough, fractures; and burns. The major phytochemical compounds isolated from this plant are steroidal saponins, proteins and carbohydrates. The plant extracts have exhibited potential anti-proliferative effect against HeLa (human cervical adenocarcinoma), CCRF-HSB-2 (human T-cell leukaemia), HL-60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) and U937 (human monocyte tumour) cell lines. The present article is an attempt to present the pharmacognostical profile of a hither-to-lesser known medicinal plant.
