  • In India: Distributed throughout India.[1]

Major Phytoconstituents

The ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Abutilon indicum have been reviewed.[1] Across the genus Abutilon, reported secondary metabolites include flavonoids, phenolic acids, sterols, triterpenes, coumarins and alkaloids.[3]

Therapeutic Efficacy & Modern Scientific Research

Reviews of the literature report antibacterial, antipyretic, antimalarial, antifertility, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic and wound healing activities of Abutilon indicum.[1] The following sections summarise the studies that support the traditional uses.

1. Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Activity

  • Traditional Use: Indicated in Vatarakta (gout) and inflammatory joint discomforts.[2]
  • Scientific Evidence: The analgesic effect of petroleum ether, methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of A. indicum root was evaluated in mice using the acetic acid-induced writhing, tail flick and tail immersion methods.[4] The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of A. indicum whole-plant extracts have also been evaluated experimentally.[5] Anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities are reported across the genus Abutilon.[3]

2. Hepatoprotective Activity

  • Traditional Use: Used in tissue rejuvenation and general debility.
  • Scientific Evidence: Hepatoprotective activity of Abutilon indicum has been reported in experimental studies.[1]

3. Antimicrobial and Wound Healing Activity

  • Traditional Use: Applied locally for skin ulcers, boils, and infections.
  • Scientific Evidence: Antibacterial and wound healing activities of Abutilon indicum have been reported in the literature.[1]

4. Hypoglycemic and Antidiabetic Effects

  • Traditional Use: Traditionally managed under Meha conditions.[2]
  • Scientific Evidence: Alcohol and water extracts of A. indicum leaves (400 mg/kg, orally) produced a significant hypoglycemic effect in normal rats 4 hours after administration (23.10% and 26.95% respectively).[6] The aqueous extract reduced plasma glucose in diabetic rats during an oral glucose tolerance test (0.5 and 1 g/kg), by inhibiting glucose absorption and stimulating insulin secretion.[7] In cell studies, the butanol fraction bound to PPARγ and promoted adipocyte differentiation, and the crude extract activated the GLUT1 promoter.[8]

Summary of Therapeutic Profile

Therapeutic Applications of Abutilon indicum
Indication Reported Pharmacological Action
Inflammation & Gout (Vatarakta) Analgesic, anti-inflammatory[4][5]
Liver Health Hepatoprotective[1]
Wound Healing & Infections Antibacterial, wound healing[1]
Metabolic Support (Meha) Hypoglycemic, antidiabetic[6][7]

Safety, Toxicity, and Dosage

  • Precautions: Antifertility activity has been reported for Abutilon indicum in the literature,[1] so use during pregnancy should be under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician. Clinical safety data in humans are lacking.
  • Standard Therapeutic Dosage:
