Article Abstract
Two new iridoids 6-O-[2,3-dimethoxy]-trans-cinnamoyl catalpol (1) and 6-O-meta-methoxy-benzoyl catalpol (2) along with a known iridoid picroside 1 (3), two stilbenes quadrangularin A (4) and pallidol (5), quercitin (6), quercitrin (7), beta-sitosterol (8) and beta-sitosterol glycoside (9) were isolated from Cissus quadrangularis Linn. The compounds 3 and 7 are first reported from this plant. The structures were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic data and by direct comparison with literature. This is the first reported occurrence of iridoids in C. quadrangularis.

This study focuses on tripartite synthesis of Silver (AgNPs), Mesoporous Silica (MSNs), and Hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) nanoparticles with aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis (Veldt grape plant; Indian name: Pirandai) as a reducing agent. The dried and powdered form of the plant was subjected to aqueous extraction. The phytochemicals analysis was qualitatively estimated which detected the presence of alkaloid, tannin, phenol, terpenoid, steroid and saponin.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The Mahali is a marginalized ethnic group in eastern India who primarily relies on the local medicinal flora and fauna for their healthcare needs. Their extensive knowledge of medicinal species has largely gone unrecognized for centuries. The forces of modernization and cultural infiltration pose a significant risk of eroding this invaluable treasure of knowledge over time.

In the twenty-first century, across the world, there are few ethnomedical solutions for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a common metabolic disease and its associated disorders. The present study assessed the hypoglycaemic effects of an extract from the stem of Cissus quadrangularis in a rat model with the addition of in vitro and in silico investigations specifically α-amylase, α-glucosidase inhibitory tests and molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study. Streptozotocin and nicotinamide were used to generate type 2 diabetes in rats.

Background: Maintaining bone health is vital, particularly for aging populations prone to bone disorders. Cissus quadrangularis (CQ), a traditional medicinal plant, is increasingly recognized for its potential benefits in promoting bone health, including the effects on bone-related biomarkers promoting bone healing and bone density improvement. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CQ on bone-related biomarkers in humans as the primary objective and to assess its impact on other clinical outcomes as a secondary objective.

, commonly known as veldt grape, is an underutilized medicinal plant belonging to the Vitaceae family, widely found in tropical regions of India with diverse populations. The plant is also known for its rich phytochemical profile, including ketosteroids and flavonoids that enhance osteoblast activity and accelerate fracture healing. Also, this genus is unique in having a high degree of drought tolerance due to its facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) pathway.
