چکیده
In the present study the adaptogenic activities of the saponin fractions of the leaves and roots of Polyscias fruticosa (L) Harms (Araliaceae) were studied in comparision wit white panax ginseng root saponins. The antibacterial activity of the polyacetylenic compound in leaves were also studied. The adaptogenic activity studies showed that polyscias fruticosa leaf and root saponins have effective abtistress activity as compared with the white Panax ginseng root saponins. The antibacterial study revealed that the polyacetylenic fraction present in polyscias fruticosa leaf and root saponins have effective abtistress activity as compared with the white panax ginseng root saponins. The antibacterial study revealed that the polyacetylenic fraction present in polyscias fruticosa leaves has got better antibacterial property compared to the saponin fraction.
