Imphal, June 10, 2008: A team of research scholars of Manipur University life sciences department under the initiative of associate professor, Potsangbam Kumar Singh, ethno botany and plant physiology laboratory of the university have been able to confirm the name of the claimed anti-cancer plant locally known as Damdawi, which is used by a local healer of Saikot village, Churachandpur.
The botanical name of the anti-cancer plant was confirmed as Croton Caudatus Geiseler, a variety of Euphordiaceae plant.
According to Prof. Potsangbam Kumar Singh, associate professor at the laboratory, who briefed the press this evening, he along with the research scholars of the life sciences department conducted a research on the local herb locally known as Damdawi which is being used in abstracting medicine to cure cancer at Saikot village.
He said his team under the initiative of Mahendro Singh Khaidem, project coordinator of Manipur Agri-Business Consortium, visited Saikot village and collected samples of the plant.
He said he along with his team found the variety of the plant to be Croton Caudatus Geiseler and the same process of investigation has been registered at the MU herbarium with coll number 004101. For further affirmation the recent findings of the plant variety were sent to the Botanical Survey of India, BSI, at Shillong and the BSI, Shillong has made an official confirmation of the anti-cancerous plant as Croton Caudatus Geiseler. It is listed under ACC No. 96367 of the BSI, Shillong.
Prof. Potsangbam Kumar who came back from Shillong this evening further disclosed that the Damdawi belongs to the Euphordiacea plants, which have three active components of Crotoflorine, a phynolic substance, Crostsparimine, a new base mop and Sparsiflorine, an alkaloid substance.
When isolated from the leaf this component is used in manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs and other medicines for various forms of treatment. Besides Croton Caudatus Geiseler found at Saikot has its peculiar ingredients of Datriacontanom beta amyrine and beta sitosterat at its barks and stems which are used in treatment of ailments related to calcarious (cancer), as per the reports from the Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow.
He said the new exploration and identification of a highly medicinal plant found in the state scientifically for the first time, shows a clear instance of presence of many more highly medicinal plants. There was need for proper steps to be taken by the concerned departments of the state government for the proper protection and conservation of such plants before it is widely exploited, he suggested.
