Pharmacological profile of Patha (Cissampelos pareira Linn.): A review
Abstract
Patha is one of the most widely used herbs in Ayurveda. Botanical source of Laghupatha is Cissampelos pareira Linn. which is commonly known as Velvet leaf. This is climbing shrub having green leaves, red drupe berries, horseshoe shaped seeds and brownish roots. Ancient texts like Bruhatrayee (Charaka samhita, Sushruta samhita and Ashtang hridya) and Nighantus have mentioned various uses of C. pareira in Atisara, Prameha, Arsha, Bastivikara etc. Research conducted on C. pareira also proves its pharmacological actions like diuretic, antidiabetic, antiasthamatic, hepatoprotective, anti inflammatory, antioxidant etc. This review aims to compile all information regarding its various traditional uses, pharmacognosy, phytochemical constituents and pharmacological activities to enrich our knowledge about C. pareira. It will surely give new direction for the researchers and pharmaceutical industries to develop a new drug.
Keywords- Cissampelos pareira Linn., Indian Traditional uses, Patha Pharmacological actions.
