Olax psittacorum
Olax psittacorum
Olax psittacorum, a mangrove species found across 13 islands in the Setiu Lagoon, has not been traditionally used for any specific medicinal purposes. Scientific studies have shown that its leaf extract exhibits anti-ulcer activity, with inhibition rates ranging from 58% to 75%. Additionally, bioactive compounds identified from Olax psittacorum leaves demonstrate antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. The n-butanol fraction of the plant has also been noted for comparable anti-inflammatory effects to both a leaf methanolic extract and diclofenac in rat models. No significant safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been reported thus far.
