Crateva nurvala
Crateva nurvala
Crateva nurvala, a plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, has not been extensively documented for specific traditional uses. Scientific evidence suggests that its shoot tips can be successfully cryopreserved with an average survival rate of 56.6 percent after optimizing the PVS2-vitrification protocol. In terms of antidiabetic activity, extracts from the stem bark have shown significant promise in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, demonstrating comparable efficacy to glibenclamide. Additionally, these extracts reduced oxidative stress and inflammation markers, offering potential protection against renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Crateva nurvala.
