Rhinacanthus nasutus
 Rhinacanthus nasutus commonly known as: snake jasmine ( • Hindi: कबुतर का फुल kabutar ka phul पालक जूही Marathi: गजकर्णी gajkarni • Sanskrit: यूथिकापर्णी yuthikaparni) is a small erect branched shrub endemic to India.It is useful in ringworm infestation (Dhobie's itch) of skin and snake bites.The ethanol extract of the root of this herb has been shown to be protective in vitro against the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation in the mouse neuron cell line (HT-22 cells).Furthermore various extracts from both the leaf and the root have been shown to protect the HT-22 cell line against the detrimental effects of both Glutamate and Amyloid Beta protein fragments suggesting a possible use as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease
