Abstract
Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity has been reported from different plants such
as Cinnamomum cassia, Chrysanthemum indicum, Lycopus europaeus, Polygonum cuspidatum,
Acacia confuse, Coccinia grandis, Datura metel, Strychnos nux-vomica, Vitex negundo, Coccinia
grandis, Vitex negundo, Fraxinus angustifolia, Pistacia lentiscus, Hyptis obtusiflora, H.
lantanaefolia, Artemisia vulgaris, Caesalpinia sappan, Blumea balsamifera, Chrysanthemum
sinense, Tetracera scandens, C. sinense, Allium Cepa, Pistacia integerrima,
Caesalpinia sappan and Caesalpinia sappan. This review very clearly specify that plants could
be utilized for the inhibition of xathine oxidase and out of them Clerodendrum floribundum,
Eremophila maculata, Stemodia grossa Benth, Eucalyptus deglupta, Syzygium malaccense and
Larix laricina exhibited 84%, 61%, 57%, 51%, 64%, 86 % xanthine pxidase inhibition at
concentration of 50 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, 44.5 μg/ml, 51 μg/ml, 6.26mg/dl respectively.
