Traditional knowledge of herbal plants must be conserved, forests, hills and mountains are the dwelling places of medicinal plants. The present study abides with the ethnobotanic survey of medicinal plants in Anuvavi hills, Coimbatore District. The plants secrete secondary metabolites to save from predators. Secondary metabolites produced by plants are useful in medicinal world to discover medicines. Bioactive compounds present in plants are used as Antimitotic, Antiproliferative, Antioxidant, Antiallergic, Anti-inflammatory, Antimutagenic, Anticancer, disinfectant, Anti-bacterial, Antiviral, Antifungal, Gastroprotective, Antiulcer, Sedative, Hepatoprotective, Arthritis, Anti-pyretic, purgative and Anthelmintic. Plants are medicinally rich in antioxidants, phytochemicals, cytotoxins, antimitotic chemicals, enzymes, Glucosinolates, Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids and Carotenoids such as lycopene, beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E are present in the medicinal plants. These chemical constituents are very useful for research to discover medicines. Ayur-informatics knowledge, which is the principle of ayurveda and bioinformatics can produce quality standard drugs to cure diseases for sustainable development. Thus, the present study is to conserve economically important medicinal plants. Innovative technology is enhanced to produce herbal medicines for sustainable future and to conserve biodiversity. |
