Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus is a member of the family Fagaceae. There are numerous therapeutic applications for the medicinal plants of the Quercus genus. The production of fuel and feed in the Himalayan region is heavily reliant on banj oak. In both human and animal health care systems, QL leaves, seeds, and bark are utilized. The tree’s gum has long been used to treat stomach issues, particularly in children, and gonorrhea. The seeds are used to cure asthma, diarrhea, and indigestion because of their astringent and diuretic properties. The DPPH test demonstrated the strong dose-dependent antioxidant activity of methanol and aquoes leaf extracts. In Wistar rats, Quercus leucotrichophora was shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. Strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was demonstrated by the Q. leucotrichophora extract in ethyl acetate. Urine output increased significantly 24 hours after a single oral dosage of Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus seed methenolic extract. The extract had strong diuretic effects and promoted diuresis in a dose-dependent manner.A DOCA-induced rat model of hypertension suggests that Quercus leucotrichophora (QL) may have therapeutic benefits.
