TAXONOMY • Kingdom : Plantae • Phylum : Magnoliophyta • Class : Liliopsida • Order : Liliales • Family : Liliaceae • Genus : Gloriosa • Species superba
VERNACULAR NAMES • Kalihari in Hindi • Kal-lavi in Marathi • Manthorikhizangu in Malayalam • Kazhappaikizhangu in Tamil • Flame Lily, Glory Lily, Tiger Claw in English

BOTANY AND ORIGIN • It is also found growing in Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Indo-China, Bangladesh, Malaysia Myanmar, Indonesia and on the adjacent island.
BOTANICAL FEATURE • It is an herbaceous, climbing perennial, growing between 3.5 to 6m in length, but usually trained at 1.5m above ground level.
TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE GLORIOSA SUPERBA
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS • Cornigerine • 3-demethyl-N-formyl-N-deacetyl-β-lumicolchicine • 3-demethyl-g-lumicolchicine • 3-demethyl colchicines • colchicocide • gloriosine
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS • tannins • superbine • β -sitosterol • Glucoside • a long chain fatty acid • β and g-lumiccolchicines
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS • Luteolin • colchicines • N-formylde • acetylcolchicines • glucosides of 3-demethylcolchicine
COLCHICINE and GLORIOSINE • They are pale yellow to greenish yellow alkaloids. • They are considered as phytochemicals which is concentrated on the tubers.
MODE OF ACTION • Colchicine has an antimitotic effect – It stops cell division by disrupting the spindle apparatus during the metaphase – Cells with rapid turnover are affected (bone marrow, intestinal epithelium, hair-producing cells -> hair loss) – It can alter neuromuscular function
CLINICAL FEATURES OF POISONING • Initial symptoms develop within 6-12 hours of ingestion - pain, numbness, itching and tingling around the mouth and throat with thirst • nausea, intense vomiting • abdominal pain, severe diarrhoea with blood and mucus
CLINICAL FEATURES OF POISONING • These lead to – electrolyte imbalance - dehydration - hypovolaemic shock manifested - hypotension - tachycardia
CLINICAL FEATURES OF POISONING • After 24 hours patients develop – Muscle weakness, myoglobinuria, bronchial constriction, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, clotting defects with bleeding, polyneuropathy cardiac arrhythmias, hepatic insufficiency, acute renal failure.
CLINICAL FEATURES OF POISONING • In severe cases, there may be: – Respiratory depression, confusion, delirium, convulsions, coma • Death occurs due to shock or respiratory failure
DIAGNOSIS • Toxicological analysis • Biomedical analysis • blood gas analysis • hematological analysis
TREATMENT • hospitalize the patient immediately • induce vomiting (ipecac) / gastric lavage • give repeated activated charcoal • supportive care eg IV fluid, assisted ventilation may be needed
ETHNO-MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • According to ayurveda, tuber is pungent, bitter, acrid, heating, anthemirtic, laxative, alexiteric, abortifacient and useful in ulcers, gonorrhea, leprosy, piles, inflammations, abdominal pains, itching and thirst.
ETHNO-MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • Tubers are also used as antifertility purpose. • The root paste is used for curing gout, stomach ache, abortion purpose in intermittent fever, wounds.
ETHNO-MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • It can be administered to a delivered mother along with spirituous drink to give relieve to her postnatal complaints and also if its root paste smeared over the palms and feet of a pregnant woman, delivery of child becomes easier.
ETHNO-MEDICAL IMPORTANCE • Leaves of Glory lily have more medicinal qualities, namely for curing asthma, its juice is effective against lice and also against many skin disorders and treatment of various respiratory disorders.
PROMISING BENEFIT • Analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential = gout and rheumatism • Antimicrobial properties – • antibacterial and antifungal potential. • Candida albicans and Candida glaberata.
PROMISING BENEFIT • Larvicidal Potential= larvae of malaria vector and cattle tick. • Antithrombotic/Anticoagulent potential = thrombin induced clot • Antitumor potential= cytogenic for P-388 cell line
PROMISING BENEFIT • Enzyme inhibition potential • Lipoxygenase • acetylcholinesterase, • butyrylcholinesterase • ureas. • Treatment of snake bite (neutralize)
