Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance Thai medicine has a long tradition of tonifying medicinal plants. In the present investigation, we studied the flower extracts of Jasminum sambac, Mammea siamensis, Mesua ferrea, Michelia alba, Mimusops elengi, and Nelumbo nucifera and speculated that these plants might influence metabolism and substance flow in the body.

The calcein-acetoxymethylester (AM) assay was used to measure inhibition of P-glycoprotein transport.…
