   • According to DEVI M (2019)

     Excerpt The present study was aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic extract of the whole aerial plant of Portulaca grandiflora Hook on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Adult male Wister albino rats were divided into five groups; normal control, diabetic control, diabetic glibenclamide (5 mg/kg), diabetic P.G H.

   • According to WANG X (2023)

     Excerpt Portulaca grandiflora is a tiny, upright herb that contains a variety of chemical components including alkaloids, glycosides, mucilage, proteins, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, poly-saccharides & triterpenoids possessing properties that may help with atherosclerosis. In order to determine the effectiveness of PG MTOH extract fraction against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hyper-lipidemia, hemo-dynamic change, antioxidant levels, & vascular dysfunction in rats, a study was carried out on a flavonoid-rich methanol extract fraction of the aerial part of PG.

2. 2

   Oxidative stress

   Plant part used: Whole plant.

   • According to Lim CK (2014)

     Excerpt Crude extracts from the whole plant of five different varieties (white, purple red, orange, pink & red) of Portulaca grandiflora were screened for their in vitro antioxidant & total phenolic content. The antioxidant activity of plant extracts as determined by DPPH scavenging assay were ranging from 0.69-2.14 mg/mL, 1.40-4.38 mg gallic acid/g, and 7.32-29.21 mg ascorbic acid/g when expressed as IC50, GEAC & AEAC, respectively.

   • According to WANG X (2023)

     Excerpt Portulaca grandiflora is a tiny, upright herb that contains a variety of chemical components including alkaloids, glycosides, mucilage, proteins, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, poly-saccharides & triterpenoids possessing properties that may help with atherosclerosis. Conclusion: These results revealed that PG is an effective treatment approach in preventing atherosclerotic lesion progression, which is attributed to its protection against oxidative stress & various enzymatic activities in the Atherogenic model.

   • According to Budiawan A (2023)

     Excerpt The wounds treated with 10 and 20% purslane herbs extract varieties A (Portulaca grandiflora magenta flower) have 0.32 ± 0.55 a&1.63 ± 1.96 mm wound diameters on day 7 and healed on day 11. The wounds treated with 10 a&20% purslane herbs extract varieties C (Portulaca grandiflora pink flower) showed 2.88 ± 0.51 & 0.84 ± 1.45 mm diameter & healed on day 11.

   • According to NGUYEN THN (2026)

     Excerpt NGUYEN THN et al, Study on the chemical composition & biological activity of extracts from moss rose in Viet Nam (Portulaca grandiflora), Food rs, 10(5):17-20, 2026-Abstact: This study aimed to determine the chemical composition and biological properties of moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora) in Vietnam. The total polyphenol content & the highest antioxidant activity value (in methanol fraction) were 506.76±1.08 mg GAE/g dry matter and 6.13±0.19 mg ascorbic acid/g dry matter.

   • According to Aisyah SIIS (2023)

     Excerpt Portulaca oleracea & Portulaca grandiflora are medicinal ornamental plants used in traditional & modern medicine. The phytochemical screening included the examination of secondary plant metabolites, while antioxidant activity was analyzed using the 2,2-Azino-bis (3-ethyl-benzot-hiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) & cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) methods.
