Overview)
The Malay Apple tree is a fast-growing tree with an erect trunk;
original from India and Malaysia.For sore throat the inner bark is scraped, or the whole bark can be decocted. In Brazil and Surinam, various parts of the plant are used as natural remedies for constipation, diabetes, coughs, pulmonary catarrh, headache and other ailments. The seeds, bark and leaves have also shown antibiotic activity and may have effect on blood pressure and respiration. The part of the tree used for the herbal tincture is the bark; used in the mouth for lesions and lacerations. Constituents Flavonoids, volatile phyto chemicals (133 compounds are identified in the aroma concentrate), cyanidin 3-glucoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, ellagic acid, kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, quercitrin, rutin, beta-sitosterol, beta-D-sitosterylglucoside, oleanic acid (a triterpenoid). Pharmacology )
A study was conducted about the effect of S. malaccense bark on serum
glucose, lipid profile and liver glycogen content in both normal and hyperglycemic rats. The extracts
were compared with Glibenclamide (Glyburide) for their influence on fasting blood sugar, lipid
profile and liver glycogen in both normoglycemic and to streptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats. In normoglycemic rats,
even for chronic treatment.In the hyperglycemic rats on chronic treatment both the extracts caused reduction in FBS and significantly reversed the diabetes induced hyperlipidemia and liver glycogen depletion. The alcoholic extract (tincture) was found to be more active than aqueous and equivalent to that of glibenclamide. The extracts with their beneficial effects on blood sugar and hyperlipidemia associated with diabetes, could serve as good adjuvant to other oral hypoglycemic agents. Oleanolic acid is relatively non-toxic, hepatoprotective and exhibits antitumor and antiviral properties. It was found to exhibit weak anti-HIV and weak anti-HCV activities in vitro. An extremely potent synthetic triterpenoid analog of oleanolic acid was found in 2005, that is a powerful inhibitor of cellular inflammatory processes. Cycloartenyl stearate, lupenyl stearate, sitosteryl stearate and 24-methylenecycloartanyl stearate from the dried leaves of Syzygium samarangense exhibited potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Applications Against stomachache, thrush, high blood sugar, sore throat, vaginal infection, venereal diseases, diarrhea and deep cuts. In Brazil, parts of the plant are used against constipation, diabetes, coughs, pulmonary catarrh and headache.
