Medicinal plants, Chambal riverine, Phytoconstituents, AntifertilityAbstract
Indian sub-continent showing very high diversity in both ecological and geographical aspects. In India, medicinal plants are widely distributed in different climatic conditions and are abundant in a mountainous region or riverine area. In this review, are being discussed anti-fertility properties of India's well-known Chambal riverine flora. This area is rich in many medicinal plants as Acyranthus aspera, Acacia catechu, Nelumbo nucifera, Nyctanthes arbortristis, Mimosa pudica, Adhatoda vasica, Calotropis gigantea, Pergularia daemia, Vicoa indica, etc. These plants possess potential antifertility activity and many phytoconstituents, responsible for antispermatogenic, anti-implantation, antiovulatory, antiandrogenic, and many more activities. Hence, this review comprises a brief study of some medicinal plants found in Chambal riverine and showing the comprehensive antifertility activity of those plants.
