Abstract

Chauhan SP, Sheth NR, Jivani NP, Rathod IS, Shah PI

Plants of Opuntia species (Cactaceae) are well-known and important, and are widely used in several indigenous systems of medicine for the treatment of various ailments, viz. asthma, inflammatory diseases, ulcer and diabetes. Different pharmacological experiments in a number of in vitro and in vivo models have convincingly demonstrated the ability of Opuntia species to exhibit various pharmacological activities, lending support to the rationale behind several of its traditional uses. Due to the remarkable biological activity of Opuntia and its constituents, it will be appropriate to develop them as a medicine.
