Evaluation of the Anti-Microbial and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of True Frangipani (Plumeria Rubra) for the Prevention and Treatment of Diseases in Animal Agriculture

To study detailed the evaluation of frangipani (Plumeria rubra) leaves and flowers as anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory agents for the prevention and treatment of diseases in animal agriculture. Plumeria rubra commonly known as Temple tree belongs to the family Apocynaceae. The leaves of Plumeria rubra issued traditionally for the treatment of ulcer, leprosy, inflammation, rheumatism, bronchitis, cholera, rubifacient, cold cough, sedative and analgesic.

Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of sterols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, protein, alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins, saponins, mucilage and volatile oils. The results of the study can serve as a valuable source of information and provide suitable standards for the prevention and treatment of diseases inanimal agriculture.
