Blackboard Tree
Alstonia scholaris
Alstonia scholaris is a traditional medicine plant native to Southeast Asia and used in various folk remedies. While its specific uses are not well-documented, studies have shown that Alstonia scholaris bark extract exhibits antioxidant, antifungal, and anthelmintic properties against certain fungi and parasites. Phytochemicals from the plant, such as echitamine chloride and alstonine, demonstrated promising but weaker inhibitory potential compared to standard antimicrobials in combating periodontal pathogens. Additionally, mouthrinses containing Alstonia scholaris and Calotropis procera extracts were found to be effective in maintaining oral health among children, though their efficacy was similar to chlorhexidine with better taste acceptance. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Alstonia scholaris, indicating that it is generally safe when used as directed.

ما يقوله العلم
- الاستخراج من جلود Alstonia scholaris أظهر نشاط مضاد للأكسدة ومضاد للبكتيريا ومكافحة الديدان ضد بعض الفطريات والبرازيات.
- وجدت الدراسة أن الإناث من Diaphania angustalis تفرزون الفيرومونات الجنسية في الوقت نفسه مع نشاط التزاوج لديهن، وتحقيق الذروة بعد ثلاثة أيام من الإكلوسيا خلال الساعة الرابعة من فase السكوتوفا.
- المواد الكيميائية النباتية لـ Alstonia scholaris، خاصة الكلوريد من الإتشيتامين والألستونين، أظهرت إمكانات مثبطة واعدة لكن أقل فعالية من الأدوية المضادة للميكروبات القياسية ضد البكتيريا الفموية.
- وجدت الدراسة أن الفمويات التي تحتوي على مستخلصات Alstonia scholaris، Calotropis procera أو الكلورهكسيدين أظهرت فعالية مماثلة في الحفاظ على صحة الفم لدى الأطفال في عمر 9-12 عامًا.
