India coralbean
Erythrina variegata
Erythrina variegata is a plant traditionally found in Southeast Asia, particularly in India and Sri Lanka. While it has not been extensively used in traditional medicine, studies have begun to explore its potential benefits. Scientific research indicates that the complete chloroplast genome of Erythrina variegata has been sequenced, providing foundational data for further genomic investigations. Additionally, extracts from this plant demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and fungi, with inhibition zones ranging from 18 to 24 mm. Thirteen new dimeric alkaloids were identified from the barks of Erythrina variegata, suggesting a rich chemical profile. Moreover, MECS hard capsules containing Erythrina variegata showed sedative and anxiolytic effects in mice without causing adverse toxicological impacts. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted to date.
