In addition, the extract and essential oils possess antibacterial pharmacological activities, due to the inherent constituents. The aim of this research, therefore, was to analyze the chemical constituents, test antibacterial activities, and observe the mode of action of elephant and emprit ginger rhizome essential oils. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Essential oils isolation was conducted using water and steam distillation method, while microdilution method was adopted in the testing for antibacterial activities against Gram positive and negative bacteria. Furthermore, the mode of action was evaluated using &lt;em&gt;Scanning Electron Microscopy&lt;/em&gt; (SEM). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The antibacterial activity demonstrated antibacterial activities in the essential oils of elephant and emprit ginger rhizome, with minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) value of 250-1000 μg.mL&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and minimal bacterial concentrations (MBC) value of 500-1000 μg.mL&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;, while chemical evaluation showed the presence of 45 and 38 constituents, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Both essential oils possess antibacterial activities against Gram positive and negative bacteria, with different strengths, which are based on chemical composition. Conversely, SEM micrographs demonstrated the ability for elephant and emprit ginger rhizome essential oils to change the morphology of bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;

But, a very few of them have been scientifically validated. &lt;em&gt;Samanea Saman&lt;/em&gt; belongs to the&lt;em&gt; Leguminosae&lt;/em&gt; family commonly known as rain tree and is native to tropical America. &lt;em&gt;S.saman&lt;/em&gt; tree has different parts like a leaf, fruits, pods, seeds, and wood. &lt;em&gt;S.saman &lt;/em&gt;is currently studied for the production of biogas which is easily obtained in the urban and rural areas.&lt;em&gt; S.saman&lt;/em&gt; has been used in traditional medicine as a remedy for the treatment of different diseases. The phytochemical screening of the plant revealed the presence of alkaloids&amp;ndash;C&lt;sub&gt;8&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;ON and C&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;36&lt;/sub&gt;ON&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; pithecolobine and saponin (samarin). Natural products are mainly derived from medicinal plants, which are tested &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; models and used to investigate the mechanism of action of drugs with potential biological properties. Additionally, &lt;em&gt;S.saman&lt;/em&gt; were recommended as the suitable tree for planting in the urban environment as this species can reduce the outdoor temperature for all types of ground covers. This review is mainly focused on antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-diabetic potential, insecticidal, antifungal, analgesic, anti-ulcer and cytotoxic activities. However, this study helps to develop new strategies for the designing of novel drugs to treat various diseases related to human race.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">202</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shanmugam Vinodhini, Devi Rajeswari V* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
