Standardized Bark Texture
Sustainable Grove Cultivation
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Alstonia scholaris stock is managed through non-destructive sustainable harvesting protocols to preserve tree viability. Organicsio implements rigorous heavy metal screening (specifically for Lead and Cadmium) and HPTLC profiling to ensure the active alkaloid fraction (echitamine) exceeds pharmacopoeial standards, providing a safe, consistent raw material for clinical applications.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The bark is characterized by a high concentration of indole alkaloids, primarily Echitamine, Ditamine, and Echitenine. Secondary metabolites include triterpenes such as alpha-amyrin and lupeol. The bitter principle is attributed to these alkaloids, which are the primary drivers of its febrifuge (fever-reducing) and antiplasmodial activity.
Commercial Applications
- Ethnomedicine: Formulation of traditional antimalarial and fever-reducing decoctions (Ayush-64 context).
- Dermatology: Topical applications for chronic ulcers and skin disorders due to astringent properties.
- Respiratory Care: Ingredient in herbal cough syrups and bronchodilators for chronic respiratory conditions.
