   Type II diabetes mellitus

   Plant part used: Bark.

   Scientific references (short excerpts)

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Prema S (2019)

     Excerpt The results provided a scientific validation of the folklore use of A saman & suggested that this plant (leaf & bark) has promising therapeutic activity for the maintenance of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is the capital metabolic syndrome of the world.

   • According to Author (2013)

     Excerpt The result supports the use of Albizia saman in traditional medicine for anti-diabetic activity. The antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract was measured in terms of reducing power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity and the total antioxidant capacity of the methanolic extract of Albizia saman were determined by phosphomolybdenum method, the results show the highest peak of free radical scavenging & antioxidant activity.

   • According to Vinodhini S (2018)

     Excerpt The present study investigates the anti-obesity, antidiabetic, & antioxidant activities of Samanea saman leaf extract. saman leaf extract was studied for its inhibitory effect on glucose utilization using specific in vitro procedures to analyze its antioxidant, anti-obesity, & antidiabetic activities via different assays, such as α-amylase & α-glucosidase inhibition assay, glucose uptake by yeast cells, nonenzymatic glycosylation assay followed by glucose diffusion assay.

   • According to Reejo EB (2014)

     Excerpt Evaluation of active compounds from the methanolic extract of SS for their antidiabetic activities may paw the way for the identification of a new class of phytochemical for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Several drugs such as biguanides & sulfonylureas are presently available to reduce hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus.

2. 2

   Hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease

   Plant part used: Sheet.

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Author (2011)

     Excerpt This study was designed to determine the concentration of total polyphenolic & flavonoidal contents, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective & gastro-protective effects of leaves of Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merr.

   • According to Adewuyi A (2011)

     Excerpt The seeds of Albizia saman, Millettia griffonianus & Tamarindus indica were evaluated for their proximate composition while their oils were subjected to chemical analysis. The oil content of the seeds of A saman, M griffonianus & T indica were 9.77 1.21 %, 10.91 ± 1.00 % & 3.11 0.41 %; respectively.

   • According to Patel K J (2013)

     Excerpt the present study was undertaken to investigate the hydroalcoholic extract (70% alcoholic extract) of Samanea saman eaves for its protective effects on paracetamol induced renal damage in rats. Rats were divided into four groups containing 6 animals in each; normal saline, paracetamol 2G/kg, hydroalcoholic extract of S saman in lower (250 mg/kg p.o) & higher dose (500mg/Kg p.o) levels.

3. 3

   Bacterial infection: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus

   Plant part used: Bark.

   Scientific references (short excerpts)

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Gonzales M (2014)

     Excerpt Specifically, the study sought answers to the following questions: 1) to determine the percentage yield of the crude acacia extract & alkaloid-rich fraction from the acacia bark, 2) to find out the number of alkaloids present in the acacia bark extract, 3) to test the antiseptic potential of the isolated alkaloids against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus & Bacillus cereus, & lastly, to determine the implications of this study to science & technology & to other areas of science. This study aimed to investigate on the antibacterial potential of the alkaloidal extracts from the bark of Samanea saman which could be a raw material in the formulation of effective antiseptics that can be used to combat diseases, thus, this study was conducted.

   • According to Obasi Nnamdi L (2010)

     Excerpt antimicrobial activity of distilled water (DE), methanol (ME), ethanol (EE) & ethyl acetate (EAE) extracts of Samanea saman pods was investigated by well-diffusion method against five pathogenic organisms: Bacillus subtilis (B. aureus), Escherichia coli (E.

   • According to Ferdous A (2011)

     Excerpt In the present investigation the n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride & chloroform soluble fractions of crude methanolic extract of Samanea saman bark were tested for antioxidant, antimicrobial & cytotoxic potential. The results suggest good antioxidant & cytotoxic potential of chloroform & hexane soluble fractions & antimicrobial activity of carbon tetrachloride fraction of SS bark extract.

   • According to AZHAR I (2009)

     Excerpt A battery of assays was performed on hexane & methanol extracts of S saman leaves, which include antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, brine shrimp bioassay, Lemna bioassay & insecticidal activity. Both the extracts showed moderate antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa whereas moderate antifungal activity of hexane extract against Fusarium solani & of methanol extract against Trichophyton longifusus was observed.

   • According to Ferdous F (2010)

     Excerpt Two compounds namely lupeol (1) & epilupeol (2) were isolated from n-hexane soluble fraction of crude methanol extract of the powdered whole plant of Samanea saman for the first time. saman were subjected to antimicrobial activity & brine shrimp lethality bioassay.
