Abstract
Medicinal plants have been a source of treatments for many ailments for thousands
of years. The WHO estimates that of worldwide population use traditional medicines to treat common health issues. Plant derived bioactive substances constitute
of Western medications. The increase in incidents of emerging medical challenges,
including post-COVID syndrome, rising multidrug-resistant (MDR), and many more,
has raised annual fatalities. To address these issues, novel medications and strategic
approaches are urgently required. Designing novel drugs relies on exploring medicinal
plants, which have great scope in combating diseases. Calotropis procera is a medicinal
plant belongs to Apocynaceae family and subfamily Asclepiadoideae that have been
exploring for developing novel drugs. C. procera consists of numerous phytochemicals
including flavonoids, terpenoids, cardenolides, steroids and oxypregnanes. Therefore,
its phytoconstituents have been used to treat a variety of conditions including cancer,
asthma, epilepsy and snake bite. C. procera is reported to have anti-inflammatory, anti-
tumor, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antinociceptive and antimalarial properties. Roots,
leaves and flower of C. procera have been used in wide range of ethnomedicinal and
pharmacological actions including leukoderma, malaria and eczema. Recent ongoing
techniques including computational tools using the phytoconstituents of C. procera
against various diseases will open up avenues for developing novel drugs.

. Introduction
For thousands of years, plants have been the only source of treatments to treat
both human and animal illnesses []. Medicinal plants (MPs) are the primary source
of basic healthcare in underdeveloped nations [,]. According to World Health
Organization (WHO), approximately of the world’s population relies on
traditional medicines, primarily on MPs, for their everyday health problems. Also,
of Western medications contain bioactive substances derived from plants[].

Adramatic increase in fungal diseases over the past few decades has caused the
dispersion of fungal spores across the soil and the environment. As a result of excessive fungal spore exposure, numerous illnesses, such as sinusitis, lung infections, and
skin infections, are reported to be increased in people with impaired immune systems
[]. Similar to fungal diseases, microbial diseases have historically been the leading
cause of mortality []. Currently, multidrug-resistant (MDR is solely to blame for
about , of the , annual deaths caused by resistant infections. By ,
drug-resistant illnesses will result in million annual fatalities [].
To address antibiotic resistance, new medications and alternative therapies (like
traditional plant-based medicines, bacteriophage therapies, and combinational therapies) are urgently required [,]. World Health Organization strongly emphasizes
developing novel antibiotics to combat resistant diseases []. Since the dawn of civilization, phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, steroids, coumarins,
and flavonoids derived from medicinal plants have a great scope to combat diseases.
Essential oils and phenolic acids from Petroselinum crispum, Levisticum officinale
Koch, Ocimum basilicum, Thymus vulgaris, Syzygium aromaticum alter the physiology
of bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Escherichia coli, and Salmonella by increasing cell permeability, altering the bacterial
cell wall and membrane integrity, losing ATP, and inhibiting protein synthesis.
Compared to synthetic antimicrobials, medicinal plants are thought to have fewer
side effects and exhibit varying degrees of efficacy against microbial infections
[,,]. Co-administration of antibiotics and non-antibiotic substances breaks
down resistance and is a successful strategy for enhancing or restoring antibiotic
efficacy []. This chapter describes the morphological description of C. procera and its
phytochemical constituents or pharmacological properties described briefly.
. Calotropis procera
The plants Calotropis procera referred to as “Raktha Arka”, in traditional Ayurvedic
medicine. It serves a variety of functions. The plant fibers are used to make baskets,
ropes, bags, and nets. The wood serves as both fuel and building material. The
leaves of the plant serve as the animal’s food. The plant’s latex is a crucial component
of many folk medicines. The common names [] of the plant are summarized in

. Distribution
Calotropis procera is a perennial plant belonging to the family Apocynaceae. The
plant is abundant in Asia, America, Africa, Afghanistan, Algeria, Burkina Faso,
Cameroon, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt,
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Pakistan, and India. It thrives as
a wild shrub across Punjab, especially on plain pastures and roads []. Calotropis
grows wild up to meters (msl) throughout the nation [] and is tolerant to salt,
and likes disturbed environments. It readily establishes as a weed along deteriorated
roadways, lagoon edges, and overgrazed native grasslands and is propagated by seeds
spread by wind and animals. It prefers abandoned agriculture sites and frequently
predominates there, especially in places with disturbed sandy soils and little rainfall.
It is believed to be a sign of overcrowding. It is the first vegetation to grow on arid soil
and is tolerant of drought []. The xerophytic adaptations include the presence of
latex, a profoundly branching root system, and thick leaves covered with wax.
The vegetative characteristics of plant are summarized in Table [].

. Traditional uses
Ancient Egyptians utilized C. procera as a medicinal plant throughout the
Neolithic period in Egypt. The plant is a part of Greco-Arab medicine [] and is
traditionally used across nations worldwide. The plant is also used in Ayurveda,
Siddha, Unani, and Sudanese traditional systems of medicine. It is important to note
that C. procera has been used more commonly to treat a variety of infectious disorders
that may be generally divided into five categories:
. Leprosy, boils, carbuncles, scabies, leishmaniasis, and infections of the skin,
mouth, and teeth are examples of skin and dermal infections.
. Respiratory infections include pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, cough.
. GIT infections include dysentery, diarrhea, cholera, gastritis, colitis, and worms.
. GU infections include chronic renal failure and leucorrhea.
. Systemic infections include malaria and both internal (oral) and external
(topical) preparations have used C. procera.

cough, and rheumatism.
However, given its increased usefulness in treating cutaneous infections, external
or topical applications are more prevalent. Ethnomedicinal uses of Calotropis procera
are summarized in Table .
. Medicinal activity
This highly effective shrub is used in numerous widespread and traditional
medicines to treat various illnesses like fever, leprosy, eczema, diarrhea, dysentery,
and jaundice [,]. The plant has reported anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anthelmintic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, oestrogenic,
antinociceptive, and antimalarial properties (Figure ).
. Antioxidant activity
The anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperglycemic effects of Calotropis procera’s dry
latex (DL) were demonstrated in rats that had been given an alloxan-induced diabetes
model. In daily oral treatment of DL at dosages of and mg/kg, a dose-dependent
drop in blood sugar and an increase in hepatic glycogen content were seen. Additionally,
DL slowed the loss of body weight in diabetic animals and decreased their daily water
intake to levels comparable to those of rodents without diabetes. Additionally, in rats
with alloxan-induced diabetes, DL reduced the levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive
substances (TBARS) while increasing the levels of endogenous antioxidants like catalase,
glutathione, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Comparable to glibenclamide, a popular
anti-diabetic drug, DL proved effective as an antioxidant and an anti-diabetic agent [].
The antioxidant activity (free radical scavenging capacity) of the methanolic extract
of C. procera roots was evaluated by the in-vitro DPPH scavenging assays. The IC
value was found below μg/ml, indicating the plant’s potent antioxidant activity.
. Antimicrobial activity
Calotropis procera seeds were extracted using chloroform and methanol and have
been tested on a paper disc for possible in vitro antibacterial activity. The chloroform
extract of the seeds showed superior antibacterial action []. The stems, fruit, leaves,
and flowers of C. procera, as well as its n-hexane, ether, chloroform, and water fraction,
were extracted with methanol and water, and their antibacterial activity was investigated. The antibacterial and antifungal effects of the plant fractions were evaluated

concentration of mg/mL were used in the study. On Muller Hinton agar for bacteria
and Yeast Peptone Glucose (YPG) agar for fungi, which had previously been seeded
with the microbial inocula of . MacFarland density, a volume of L of each examined extract sample was detected. The inhibition zones on the inoculation plates were
measured in mm after a -hour period of °C incubation. The plant’s flower extract
showed the greatest antibacterial activity in the n-hexane and ether fractions.
. Anti-inflammatory activity
The anti-inflammatory impact of C. procera was tested using the various acute
and chronic models of inflammation. Oral administration of dried latex of C. procera
significantly inhibited edema formation induced by carrageenan and Freund’s Adjuvant
[]. The plant also has potent anti-inflammatory effects against cotton pellets and
carrageenan-induced granulomas in albino Wistar rats. The methanolic extracts
