Objective: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical profiles, antioxidant, anti-sickling, and membrane stabilizing activities of crude extracts of &lt;em&gt;Justicia carnea &lt;/em&gt;leaves and stems that used to treat SCD in Nigeria. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The 70 % ethanol crude extracts of the dried, powdered leaves and stems of &lt;em&gt;J. carnea&lt;/em&gt; were prepared by maceration. Reversal and inhibition activity of the plant materials were evaluated by using sodium-metabisulphite-sickled HB SS blood cells from two patients not in crisis. The membrane stabilization assays on rats' red blood cells (RBCs) and human sickled RBCs and antioxidant assays were determined following standard methods. Results were presented as Mean ± SEM. Data analysis and graph plotting were carried out using GraphPad Prism® version 8.01.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The antioxidant assays indicated that &lt;em&gt;J. carnea&lt;/em&gt; leaves (JCL) had stronger DPPH activity (IC₅₀ = 245.031 ± 0.228 μg/mL). While, the stems (JCS) exhibited higher NO scavenging (84.123 ± 0.497 μg/mL). The highest reversal and inhibition percentages observed at 60, 90, and 120-minute time points. At 60th minutes reading, JCL 20 mg/mL (78.9±0.13%) demonstrated the highest reversal activity, while JCL 10 mg/mL (66.9±0.82 %) revealed the strongest inhibition effect. The extracts showed dose-dependent membrane stabilization activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The extracts demonstrated remarkable antioxidant, anti-sickling, and membrane stabilizing activities. The use of this plant could be a promising natural therapy for SCD.&lt;/p&gt;

It is loaded in different secondary metabolites such as steroidal saponins, flavonoids, diterpenoids, tannins, and carotenoids, which all play a major role in its pharmacological activities. Researchers have shown that it can be useful in the treatment of inflammation, microbial infections, oxidative stress, cancer, and liver diseases. even with these benefits there remains a shortage of clinical trials, toxicity assessment, and standardized extraction procedures to facilitate its application in herbal drug industry in a safe manner. One of the most striking features of &lt;em&gt;Dioscorea bulbifera&lt;/em&gt; is its antimicrobial activity especially in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. also, studies done on anticancer activity are actively being conducted with some compounds being reported to induce apoptosis in cancer cells and suppress the growth of tumour. However, talking about its drawbacks some diterpenoid compounds such as diosbulbin A have been reported to show hepatotoxicity in humans and hence further studies are required to determine its safety for therapeutic purposes. The other significant challenge to developing this plant as a standard drug is its variability in chemical composition. The bioactive content is dependent on its cultivation, so it is quite a challenge to control for consistent potency. Sophisticated analytical methods such as HPLC and LC-MS could be utilized to overcome this and contemporary drug delivery systems like nano-formulations could enhance its absorption and bioavailability. Bringing together the ancient herbal knowledge and new scientific inquiry might reveal even greater therapeutic applications of the plant constituents. In the future the studies need to penetrate deeply into its safety, carry out extensive clinical trials, and explore sustainable mechanisms for massproducing its major compounds. With additional studies,&lt;em&gt; Dioscorea bulbifera&lt;/em&gt; could become a prominent natural medicine, providing solutions for numerous health conditions while maintaining its traditional medicinal significance.&lt;/p&gt;

Using methanol/dichloromethane and aqueous solvents, the extracts were produced. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was assessed by the 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl assay, and their phenol content by the gallic acid method. The extracts were found to be inactive or weak against the HeLa (cervix), human cancer cell lines TK-10 (renal), and PC3 (prostate). It is suggested that these three human cell lines be tested against extracts of water and methanol/ dichloromethane at higher concentrations. The plant's leaf extract would also be the best substance to test against the human cell lines TK-10, PC-3, and HeLa. The IC50 values for two to three cell lines show that &lt;em&gt;T. violacea &lt;/em&gt;plant extracts (&amp;gt;100 g/ml) have no effect on cells. &lt;em&gt;T. violacea&lt;/em&gt; extract has greater antioxidant activity than the control. A thorough phenolic analysis showed that water leaf extract had the highest quantity of phenolics whereas bulb methanol/dichloromethane extract had the lowest. Both the methanol/dichloromethane and the aqueous extracts have the same characteristics for antioxidant activity. In order to enhance food's nutritional content and quality while also supporting excellent health, it has been found that phenolic compounds alter the color, flavor, and other sensory characteristics of the meal. Additionally, they help plants defend themselves against harm from ROS, molecular damage, microbial invasion, insects, and herbivores.&lt;/p&gt;

Forest areas must be managed appropriately for the local community and society's welfare and sustainable use. One of the local people living around the forest is the Kaili tribe. The local wisdom of the Kaili tribe, who inhabit forest areas in Central Sulawesi, in managing forests and forest products, especially using plants as medicine, must be documented in research. This study aimed to identify the species, habitat, habitus, and ways of using the plant as medicine by the Kaili people in the Sigi Regency. Prior to data collection, a literature study was conducted to obtain information regarding the condition of the research location around the forest area and the ethnic/ethnic groups who live permanently around and within the forest area. This stage was then followed by interviews and field surveys. The interviews were conducted by combining purposive sampling and snowball methods. The results showed the high potency of medicinal plants around forest areas used by the Kaili tribe, with the discovery of 113 species in 51 families. Herbs are the most common habitus of medicinal plants. The habitat of medicinal plants is mainly found in the yard. The most used plant part is the leaves, which can be boiled in water and drunk directly.&lt;/p&gt;

However, there are still fewer studied medicinal plants of practical importance growing in Mongolia. Therefore, there is a need to register and study the ancient medicinal books written by ancient Mongolian doctors about the relatively little-studied&lt;em&gt; Veronica Incana&lt;/em&gt; plant. In addition, taking into account that scientific research on &lt;em&gt;Veronica Incana,&lt;/em&gt; which grows in Mongolia, has not been done in the field of medicine. Therefore, the topic was selected for research in this field.&lt;strong&gt; Purpose:&lt;/strong&gt; Comparing the information of the ancient medical books written by Mongolian doctors and scientists, who wrote about&lt;em&gt; Veronica Incana,&lt;/em&gt; to clarify the taste, power, and quality. Research materials and methods: 1. &lt;strong&gt;Research materials:&lt;/strong&gt; Sumbe khamba Ishbaljir. gso dpyad bdud rtsi 'i chu rgyun gyi cha lag gi nang tshan gyi sman so so'i mngon brjod dang ngos 'dzin shel dkar me long. &lt;em&gt;Wooden printing block&lt;/em&gt; with&lt;em&gt; Tibetan&lt;/em&gt; script.

Research methods: Methods of textual analysis for ancient books and checklist methods were used in the study. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Gandhabhatra plant is used in traditional Mongolian medicinal practices from ancient times, the plant is called &lt;em&gt;Veronica Incana&lt;/em&gt; in Latin. Also called Buural gandbadraa in Mongolian. On the other hand, the traditional medical doctors of China's Inner Mongolia and Tibet use Gandbadraa, the Latin name Gnaphalium affine D. Don. The appearance, shape, and color of the flowers of these two plants are different. According to the research of the source, the main instruction and usage of the plants are the same: to destroy benign tumors, to remove poison, to treat colds, and to stop cough.&lt;/p&gt;

This study documents therapeutic plants used against STI’s in Thaba ‘Nchu, South Africa. Information was gathered through semi-structured interviews with traditional medical practitioners between March and December 2017. Information on medicinal plants, their local names, and their uses against STI’s was gathered. The use value (UV) of the plant species, frequency of citation (FC) and the informant consensus factor (ICF) were calculated for the plants and STIs included in the study. Plants were used to treat infections such Herpes zoster (ICF=0.4) as gonorrhoea (ICF=0.11), vaginosis (ICF=0.2), symptoms of HIV/AIDS (ICF=0.1) and pubic lice (ICF=0.1). A total of 35 plant species were identified for the treatment of STIs. Most medicinal plants in the study area came from the families Asteraceae (21%), Fabaceae (17%), Solanaceae (13%) and Hyacinthaceae (13%). &lt;em&gt;Bulbinenarcissifolia, Pentanisiaprunelloides, Hypoxishemerocallidea, Scabiosa columbaria, Xysmalobiumundulatum Rumex lanceolatus, Eucomisautumnalis, Dicomaanomalaand Salvia&lt;/em&gt; runcinatawere frequently used. The preferred method for preparation of remedies were decoctions made from the roots (72%), whole plant (17%), leaves (7%), fruits (2%) and bark (2%) which were consumed orally.This study contributes to the documentation of plants used for STIs to conserve the information for future generations. A selection from the most frequently mentioned plants for treatment of STI’s may be used for further phytopharmacological investigations and subsequently be used for the development of new antimicrobial agents for global use and for the socioeconomic development of local communities.&lt;/p&gt;

The aim of this study was to determine the medicinal plants used traditionally by patients with UL in the Kenitra and Sidi Kacem cities (Morocco). From January 2012 to February 2015, 50 herbalists and 166 patients with urolithiasis who live in the area under study were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. The following data were recorded: name of the patients or herbalists with their age, sex name of the plant (s) (vernacular name), parts used mode of preparation and administration. A total of 42 plant species belonging to 24 families, mostly from the Apiaceae (16.66%) &lt;em&gt;Lamiaceae&lt;/em&gt; (11.9%) were used to treat the UL in the area. All the plants were prepared by decoction which are taken orally for a period of one week. &lt;em&gt;Herniaria hirsuta &lt;/em&gt;(Hh) and &lt;em&gt;Ziziphus lotus &lt;/em&gt;(Zl) were repeatedly mentioned by the patients and herbalists as most used for the management of UL in this area. It’s concluded that the traditional remedies are the first line to treat the UL in this area. Hh and Zl were the most commonly used plants in this treatment which a study of antiurolithiatic characteristics seem to be necessary to evaluate its use in therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

The population that uses traditional medicine frequently resorts frequently to these women healers to treat digestive and respiratory diseases and the incessant crying. The population that uses traditional medicine resorts to these women healers to treat digestive (30% of population) and respiratory diseases and the incessant crying (24% of population). The floristic analysis of the adopted recipes has revealed 56 plant species divided into 35 botanical families. The most used families are Lamiaceae (12,5%) and Apiaceae (10,71%). the leaves constitute the part more used 32.26% followed by the seeds 22.58%, the infusion is the mode of preparation most used by 35% and the dose is generally by pinch, spoonful or by handful These results show that the women healers have a very important place in the health service, especially they have a very interesting knowledge of the treatment of digestive and respiratory disorders and especially of the effects attributed to sorcery. The plants identified in this study could constitute a data base for further research in the field of phytochemistry and pharmacology.&lt;/p&gt;

A phytochemical analysis was carried out to confirm the chemical groups. In the pharmacological study, hyperglycemia was induced with alloxan at doses of 170 mg/kg in male albino mice, animals with blood sugar levels above 250 mg/dL were included in the protocol. Mice were randomized into five groups (I: Alloxan 170 mg/Kg; II, III and IV (&lt;em&gt;Geranium ruizii &lt;/em&gt;extract: 50; 150 and 300 mg/Kg body weight); and V: glibenclamide, 5mg/Kg B.W. Results: Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, saponins and phenolic compounds. It is observed that at doses of 50, 150 and 300 mg/kg reduced blood glucose at 14 days of treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The hypoglycemic effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of &lt;em&gt;Geranium ruizii&lt;/em&gt;, administered orally in mice with alloxan-induced hyperglycemia was effective with 150 mg/Kg body weight.&lt;/p&gt;

The information presented in this article will include the following aspects of the plant. The plant description and taxomony, ethnomedical uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology of &lt;em&gt;Elephantorrhiza elephantine. &lt;/em&gt;The article looks to discuss existing hurdles in research found on this plant and how to integrate any previous research with what is currently done in research on the plant. It aims on guiding the path of future research direction on the plant &lt;em&gt;Elephantorrhiza elephantine&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A total of 40 articles were selected and read through. The articles selected had included literature publications with the keywords such as; &lt;em&gt;Elephantorrhiza elephantine,&lt;/em&gt; plant description, taxonomic of the plant, ethno medicinal usages, phytochemicals, pharmacological properties and plant toxicity, which were published between the years 2000 – 2021. There were 32 articles relevant for this review article and 2 dissertation that were written between the criteria of years.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The ethomedicinal uses of &lt;em&gt;Elephantorrhiza elephantine&lt;/em&gt; have been investigated by various authors on the anti-microbial activities, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and in ethnoveterinary medicine on how the plant provides relief to individuals with illnesses/disease through its traditional uses. These studies have been conducted on both animals and humans. The experiments performed used the crude extract derived from parts of the plant such as the roots and leaves. These plant parts have phytochemical compounds that are extracted using varying polar solvents. In the animal studies, acetone extracts of &lt;em&gt;E. elephantine&lt;/em&gt; roots demonstrated significant activity against a tick-borne disease in cattle livestock and parasite worms in goats. In humans, the dried leaf extracts of &lt;em&gt;E. elephantine&lt;/em&gt; was also subjected to various polar solvents and water, investigated for phytochemical content, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and cytotoxic activities, using standard methods. It was reported that the ethanol extract yielded the highest phytochemical content.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The gap in knowledge has narrowed on medicinal plants effects of healing properties. This lead by extensive research carried out trying to understand the benefits of traditional medication and why majority of the population uses it as they primary healthcare choice. Investigating the mechanism of action of &lt;em&gt;E. elephantine&lt;/em&gt; on its antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing could lead to an enhanced understanding on the medicinal properties of the plant extracts and a commercialisation of a product in future.&lt;/p&gt;

Natural antioxidants obtained from medicinal plant extracts have recently gained popularity as protective ingredients in sunscreen formulations due to their safety, wide range of biological effects on skin, and environmental sustainability in absorbing Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and preventing skin damage. Prolonged exposure to UV rays may cause skin damages like sunburn, photoaging, erythema, edema, wrinkle, and skin cancer. Natural sunscreen products are becoming more popular among consumers who are becoming more aware of the risks of excessive UV and chemicals in beauty and personal care products. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This review aimed to provide brief information about ten commonly available medicinal plants in Malaysia with potential sun protection factor and antioxidant properties. Methods: In the present review, the relevant literatures were an extensive search from various scientific database including Pubmed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Ten commonly available medicinal plants in Malaysia such as &lt;em&gt;Graptophyllum pictum, Moringa oleifera, Mangifera indica, Zanthoxylum rhetsa, Andrographis paniculata, Sonneratia caseolaris, Camellia sinensis, Morinda citrifolia, Nephelium lappaceum &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Murraya koenigii &lt;/em&gt;were included based on its potential sun protection factor (SPF) and antioxidant properties. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: All the ten medicinal plants reported in this review found to have potential antioxidant activities due to the presence of phenolic and flavonoid content in the extracts. All of these findings well correlated to their potential SPF. The M. indica extracts had the highest SPF value among the ten plant extracts reported in this review, with a value of ≥30. This is considered high sun protection action. Extracts of &lt;em&gt;A. paniculata, M. citrifolia, C. sinensis, and G. pictum &lt;/em&gt;have a moderate photoprotective effect (SPF value of ≥15). Sun protection activity was low in M. oleifera and S. caseolaris (SPF value ≤ 2). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The identification of natural antioxidant and photoprotective ingredients from medicinal plants has demonstrated as a potential natural sunscreen product in protecting UV radiation against damaging UV rays, and therefore recommended to utilize them to replace synthetic chemicals in cosmetics development in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, the need for phytochemicals in medicinal plants for potentials application in the treatments of these human ailments as alternatives. Drug resistance parasite has rendered most of the drugs used in treating many human diseases ineffective. There is an urgent need and continuous search for new drugs from natural sources because most of the drugs used are either derived from plant or end-product of the natural source. Antibacterial and antiplasmodial activities of &lt;em&gt;Boswellia dalzielii &lt;/em&gt;stem bark chloroform extract against some pathogens and &lt;em&gt;P. bergei&lt;/em&gt; was investigated using the serial dilution method. Phytochemical studies (GC-MS RT profiling) revealed the presence of some secondary metabolites. The extract was tested against thirteen bacterial strains (&lt;em&gt;Styphylococcus epidermidis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Enterococcus faecalis, Styplococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis&lt;/em&gt;) and Gram-negative strains &lt;em&gt;Klebsiella aerugninosa, Proteus vulgaris, K. pneumonia, Klebsiella oxytoca,Entrobacter cloacae, Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the extract showed activities against &lt;em&gt;Mycobacterium smegmatis,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella aerugninosa &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Proteus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt;. The extract demonstrated high safety with LD50 value greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight. The extract shows a high potent of antiplasmodial activities with&lt;em&gt; P. bargie&lt;/em&gt; inhibition of 66.95%. The results demonstrated that &lt;em&gt;Boswelliadalzielii &lt;/em&gt;stem bark extract can be used as a source of cheaper, less toxic novel antibiotic and antimalarial substances for drug development.&lt;/p&gt;

Current therapy using reverse transcriptase inhibitors require long-term treatment and the potential risk of development of drug-resistant viruses remains an important issue to be considered. Hence, the development of new drugs is critical. Traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of infectious diseases may provide a viable option for the discovery of anti-HBV drug candidates. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study examined anti-HBV activity of 31 kinds of Indonesian plants. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Crude extracts of various part of plants, leaves and stem, were obtained using dichloromethane and ethanol solvent. The effect on viral entry was examined by determining levels of HBsAg expression in the supernatants of HBV-infected HepG2-NTCP cells by ELISA. The effect on HBV replication was determined by measuring HBV DNAs amounts in Hep38.7-Tet cells by quantitative real-time PCR.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The extracts of &lt;em&gt;Phyllantus niruri&lt;/em&gt; leaves and &lt;em&gt;Curcuma xanthorrhiza &lt;/em&gt;showed reduction of strong HBsAg production from HepG2-NTCP cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 170.48 and 270.51 μg/mL, respectively. Treatment of HepAD38.7-Tet cells with &lt;em&gt;P. niruri &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;C. xanthorhiza &lt;/em&gt;at the highest concentration while avoiding cytotoxicity reduced extracellular HBV DNA levels by 70% and 30 % of the untreated control respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;P. niruri &lt;/em&gt;inhibited both the entry and HBV replication, thus &lt;em&gt;P. niruri &lt;/em&gt;is a promising candidate for anti-HBV drug development.&lt;/p&gt;

A great contribution of plant-based materials in the pharmaceutical field results in the growing interest on the exploitation of indigenous medicinal plants to make a potential medicine. Several potent plant families are broadly investigated throughout the world including the family of Acanthaceae. Acanthaceae is a large pantropical family of flowering plants comprised of approximately 240 genera and 3250 species in the world. In Peninsular Malaysia, Acanthaceae is one of the families with the largest number of genera and species by which 29 genera and 158 species are respectively recorded. This study thereby deals with the review of information on the ethnobotanical significance of medicinal plants belong to Acanthaceae. This review covers informative data on medicinal plants, its uses and part used based on three tribal groups of indigenous people, Malay villagers and local market traders in Peninsular Malaysia. From the review, Acanthaceae possesses a huge contribution to the ethnobotanical part especially to treat certain diseases. The ethnobotanical data has also served a great contribution to the conservation and sustainability of natural resources. By keeping this point, this present review on ethnobotany and traditional knowledge of Acanthaceae is expected to give benefits and considered a good starting point for future works on the pharmaceutical field, especially for Peninsular Malaysia.&lt;/p&gt;

But this knowledge is conveyed verbally without any written documentation. Therefore, this study aim is to preserve Dayak`s knowledge about medicinal plants in Mandomai village. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; To collect the information, a survey was conducted in January 2019. &lt;em&gt;Snowball&lt;/em&gt; sampling method was utilized to select 11 informants. Data were collected using structured interviews to gather information about local names, part of plants, the benefit of plants and how the plants are used. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The result showed that 55 species of medicinal plants used by the Dayak community in Mandomai as traditional medicine. However, only 48 species were identified, while 7 others were still in the process of being identified. The most widely used part of the plants is the leaves. Before being used as traditional medicine, medicinal plants are processed first. Some plants are ground and used immediately, while some are boiled or soaked in warm water.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This documentation provides a catalog of medicinal plants used by Dayak community for the education of future indigenous knowledge&lt;/p&gt;

Data collected was analyzed using quantitative indices such as the Fidelity Level (FL) and Informant Consensus Factor (FIC). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results revealed 70 medicinal species belonging to 38 botanical families, among which, five families were the most commonly used by the local population, especially the families Lamiaceae and Asteraceae. In term of species, the highest frequencies of medicinal use were shown respectively by &lt;em&gt;Tetraclinis articulata&lt;/em&gt; (Vahl) Mast. (6.49%), &lt;em&gt;Pistacia lentiscus&lt;/em&gt; L. (6.11%), &lt;em&gt;Myrtus communis&lt;/em&gt; L. (5.34%) and &lt;em&gt;Thymus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; L. (4.96%). Among the various parts of the plant, leaves were the most used part and decoction was the most frequent form of use. Finally, the gastro-intestinal system disorders were the most treated diseases with a percentage of 28.24%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This first ethnobotanical study conducted in the region of Bissa revealed a very rich local knowledge in term of traditional herbal medicine; this fact was reflected by the high diversity of species used in the treatment of several diseases. In light of this, it is therefore very important to subject some of the major species to further phytochemical and pharmacological studies in order to validate their traditional use and to probably discover new bioactive molecules.&lt;/p&gt;

With an increase in multi drug resistance and undesired adverse events to current drugs challenges, there is a need for alternative drugs. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study we aimed at the investigation of antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gunnera perpensa&lt;/em&gt; roots extracted in three solvents of different polarities. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Antibacterial activity was determined using the disc diffusion method, while antioxidant activity was determined using free radical scavenging of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and the ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. The Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; model was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of both plants. Resveratrol was used as a positive control. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Methanol extracts of &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus&lt;/em&gt; inhibited microbial growth even at the lowest concentration of 50 μg/ml. &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus &lt;/em&gt;dichloromethane extract was active on most bacteria with MIC’s between 50 μg/ml and 500 μg/ml. However, the water and methanol extracts of &lt;em&gt;Gunnera perpensa&lt;/em&gt; had no activity against all organisms tested. Aqueous extracts of &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Gunnera perpensa&lt;/em&gt; showed free radical scavenging activity yielding EC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 100 μg/ml and 25 μg/ml, respectively. The aqueous extracts of &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus&lt;/em&gt; showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity from 50 to 200 μg/ml. while the methanol extract was at 200 μg/ml and with no cytotoxicity. No anti-inflammatory activity was observed from all&lt;em&gt; Gunnera perpensa&lt;/em&gt; extracts using LPS-induced macrophages, this suggests that this species may be using other mechanisms for anti-inflammatory activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities observed from water extracts of &lt;em&gt;Senecio asperulus&lt;/em&gt; support its ethnomedicinal use for the management of inflammation related diseases.&lt;/p&gt;

However, synergistic combinations of plant extracts with conventional antibiotics are a far more effective approach in overcoming resistance and potentiating the activity of antibiotics that are otherwise ineffective against resistant bacterial strains. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: In this study, &lt;em&gt;Petalostigma&lt;/em&gt; spp. (native Australian medicinal plants) extracts were combined with a range of conventional antibiotics and tested against various microbial triggers of autoimmune diseases. The fruit and leaves were extracted separately with solvents of varying polarity and investigated for the ability to inhibit bacterial growth using disc diffusion and liquid dilution MIC techniques. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The methanolic and water extracts showed low to moderate inhibitory activity against several microbes. However, combinations of the mid-low polarity extracts with conventional antibiotics proved significantly more effective in inhibiting the growth of &lt;em&gt;Proteus mirabilis and Acinetobacter baylyi&lt;/em&gt; (bacterial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis respectively). In total, 14 different combinations proved to be synergistic. Notably, two antibiotics (chloramphenicol and erythromycin) with no inhibitory activity against &lt;em&gt;P. mirabilis&lt;/em&gt; alone were shown to have substantial activity when tested in combination with &lt;em&gt;Petalostigma&lt;/em&gt; spp. extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: Although the mechanisms of synergy are still unclear, studies indicate that compounds within&lt;em&gt; Petalostigma&lt;/em&gt; spp. may mimic the actions of resistance modifying agents, thus potentiating the activity of several antibiotics that are relatively ineffective alone. Isolation of these agents may be highly beneficial in drug design against several bacteria including the microbial triggers of rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.&lt;/p&gt;

And to carry out &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; toxicity and antibacterial studies on &lt;em&gt;Conyza bonariensis &lt;/em&gt;(Asteraceae) leaves and roots methanolic extracts selected based on the screening. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Eleven methanolic extracts obtained from nine plants, reportedly used in the treatments of infections from the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, were initially screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities employing disc diffusion and broth micro dilution assays. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was carried out. The most promising extract based on our results and previous literature reports was then evaluated in the &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; antibacterial activities using mouse model of bacterial infection induced by &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli.&lt;/em&gt; In addition, &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; acute toxicity was conducted to evaluate the safety profile of the extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All of the extracts tested were active against at least one of the bacterial and fungal strain tested with activities ranging from moderate to weak. Phytochemical analyses of ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l and ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;r demonstrated the presence of free steroids and coumarins in ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l and flavonoids, tanins, free steroids, reduced anthraquinones and coumarins in ME&lt;em&gt;CB&lt;/em&gt;r. Oral administration of ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l and ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;r up to 5000 mg/kg did not provoked any toxicological events in the mice, thus suggesting that the LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; is higher than 5000 mg/kg. &lt;em&gt;In vivo&lt;/em&gt; antibacterial assay demonstrated superior prophylactic activity of ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l compared to ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;r.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l and ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;r are safe when administered acute orally at doses up to 5000 mg/kg. Methanolic extracts of &lt;em&gt;Conyza bonariensis &lt;/em&gt;possessed in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. Considerable &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; antibacterial activities were observed in bacterial infection model for both ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;l and ME&lt;em&gt;Cb&lt;/em&gt;r, effects comparable to that of meropenem, in some cases. Both extracts present in common free steroids and coumarins. The current&lt;em&gt; in vivo&lt;/em&gt; antibacterial activity study further lend supports to the use of &lt;em&gt;Conyza bonariensis&lt;/em&gt; in the treatment of infections in many traditional medicines.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6s</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">s152</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cristiane Coimbra de Paula&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Domingos Tabajara De Oliveira Martins&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Karuppusamy Arunachalam&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sikiru Olaitan Balogun&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Quessi Irias Borges&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Marcelo Garcia Picone&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Wander Miguel de Barros&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Regilane Matos da Silva Prado&lt;sup&gt;1,4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Materials and &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Elemental compositions of three herbal remedies, Chamomile flowers, Urtica folia (nettle) and Hyperichi herba (St John&amp;rsquo;s wort), grown and produced in Ukraine, were studied by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The Fe concentration decreases, as well as the Zn and Mn concentrations, increase in going from nettle through chamomile to St John&amp;rsquo;s wort. The Cu content is virtually independent of the plant type. Statistically significant negative correlations between the element concentrations were found in Fe-Mn and Fe-Zn pairs. The studied samples of St John&amp;rsquo;s wort are more contaminated with Cd than other plants, while the highest Pb content is observed in some samples of nettle. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The measured levels of both Pb and Cd still secure against overuse of toxic metals with herbal remedies.&lt;/p&gt;

The most important species based on use values and informant consensus factors were also calculated.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A total of 26 informants were interviewed regarding the plants they utilize for medicinal purposes. Free and prior informed consents were obtained from the informants. Taxonomic identification was done in the Botany Division of the National Museum of the Philippines. Informant consensus factor (FIC) and use values (UV) were also calculated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Ayta communities listed a total of 118 plant species classified into 49 families used as herbal medicines. The Family &lt;em&gt;Fabaceae&lt;/em&gt; was the most represented plant family with 11 species. Leaves were the most used plant part (43%). Majority of medicinal preparations were taken orally (57%). It was found that &lt;em&gt;Psidium guajava L.&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Lunasia amara&lt;/em&gt; Blanco were the most commonly used medicinal plants in the three communities with the use value of 0.814. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This documentation provides a catalog of useful plants of the Ayta and serves as a physical record of their culture for the education of future Ayta generations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">859</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ourlad Alzeus G.

The objective of present study was to investigate the GC-MS analysis and antibacterial activity of &lt;em&gt;L. inermis&lt;/em&gt; leaves extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Crude methanol extract and its fractions were tested for the presence of active phytochemicals and GC-MS analysis of hexane; ethyl acetate and aqueous methanol fractions was performed. Antimicrobial activity against six bacterial strain&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtelis, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; was also tested. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical screening of extract confirmed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, quinones, steroids and phenol. In GC-MS chromatograms, 56, 108 and 19 peaks were obtained and out of these, 13, 17 and 7 compounds were identified in hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous methanol fractions, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; For best of our knowledge in &lt;em&gt;L.&amp;nbsp;inermis&lt;/em&gt; leaves extract, Celidoniol and Vitamin E has not been reported earlier in hexane fractions. While 2, 3 dihydrobenzo furan, 1-H indole -1, 3 (2H)-dione, 1 (3H)-Isobenzofuranone, 1H Isoindole-1, 3 (2H) Dione, Napthelene, 2 ethoxy, 2 (4H) Benzofuranone, Vitamin E, Benzene, 1 isocyano 4 methyl are also identified for the first time in ethyl acetate fraction. Also, in aq. Methanol fraction 1(3H)-isobenzofuranone, Squalene and Vit E were not previously identified. Highest antibacterial activity was confirmed in crude methanol extract which might be due to all the antibacterial compounds present in its fractions. The present study helped in identifying phytoconstituents present in the extract and its fractions which are responsible for various biological and antibacterial activities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">xx1101</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ritesh Kumar Sharma&lt;sup&gt;1,&lt;/sup&gt;*, Anjana Goel&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Conventional antibiotics are amongst the most commonly prescribed groups of drugs in allopathic medicine. Therefore, these therapies may be used concurrently by practitioners of complementary medicine and there is a need to evaluate their effects in combination.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Plant extracts were prepared using solvents of varying polarity and subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening analysis. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using disc diffusion and liquid dilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays against a panel of pathogenic triggers of some autoimmune diseases. Interactions between the S. spinescens extracts and conventional antibiotics were studied and classified by determining the sum of the fractional inhibitory concentration (&amp;Sigma;FIC). Synergistic interactions were further examined across a range of ratios using isobolograms analysis. The toxicity of the individual samples and of the combinations was assessed using the Artemia lethality assay (ALA) and an MTS HDF cell viability assays. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Methanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts showed moderate to good inhibitory activity against several bacterial pathogens known to trigger autoimmune inflammatory diseases in genetically susceptible individuals. However, combinations of the methanolic, aqueous, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts with conventional antibiotics proved significantly more effective in inhibiting the growth of Klebsiellia pneumoniae and &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus pyogenes&lt;/em&gt; (bacterial triggers of ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatic fever respectively). In total, 4 combinations proved to be synergistic, all of which contained tetracycline as the conventional antibiotic component. Furthermore, all conventional antibiotics and &lt;em&gt;S. spinescens&lt;/em&gt; leaf extracts were determined to be nontoxic when tested alone in the &lt;em&gt;Artemia&lt;/em&gt; nauplii and HDF bioassays. Combining the extracts and antibiotics did not significantly affect the toxicity of the combinations. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;S. spinescens&lt;/em&gt; extracts were effective inhibitors of the growth of several bacterial triggers of autoimmune inflammatory diseases when tested alone. Additionally, the methanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts potentiated the activity of tetracycline against bacterial otherwise resistant to its actions.

Brenan var. cebil (Griseb) is a plant widely used for medicinal proposes in Brazilian Northeast. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to analyze the influence of rainfall indexes (RI) in antimicrobial activity and phytochemical constituents of extracts from leaves and fruits of&lt;em&gt; A. colubrina&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Samples were collected in Catimbau National Park (Bu&amp;iacute;que, Pernambuco, Brazil) at September 2010 (RI: 75 mm) and January (RI: 65 mm), April (RI: 162 mm) and June 2011 (RI: 73 mm). The extracts were prepared by Soxhlet extraction using cyclohexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. The antimicrobial activity was determined by MIC and MBC values. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All extracts showed antimicrobial activity, but ethyl acetate extracts (from all periods) were more active. Strong correlations were found between the RI and the average MIC of MLE (&amp;rho;: -0.99), EALE (&amp;rho;: -0.81), CHFE (&amp;rho;: -0.81), EAFE (&amp;rho;: -0.80); while moderate and weak correlations were found for other extracts. Through a HPLC analysis was possible to reveal that the samples collected from dry periods had more chemical diversity (as they presented more peaks). Gallic acid and quercetin (and derivative compounds) were identified. The levels of quercetin were enhanced in extracts from dry months. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Our results showed that the rainfall has a positive effect on the antimicrobial activity of leaves and fruits of A. &lt;em&gt;colubrina&lt;/em&gt;, however these extracts showed more chemical diversity during dry months.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">435</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daniel Rodrigo Cavalcante de Ara&amp;uacute;jo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Lu&amp;iacute;s Cl&amp;aacute;udio Nascimento da Silva&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Wolfgang Harand&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, J&amp;uacute;lia Morais Fernandes&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Thaciane da Cunha Soares&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Silvana Maria Zucolotto Langassner&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Raquel Brandt Giordani&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Rafael Matos Ximenes&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;, Alexandre Gomes da Silva&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, M&amp;aacute;rcia Vanusa da Silva&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Maria Tereza dos Santos Correia&lt;sup&gt;1* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Acetylcholine (ACh) is involved in the maintenance of cognitive process. Pathologically, ACh production is compromised in the brains of AD affected people. Presence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the synaptic cleft, which hydrolyzes ACh, further decreases the ACh-levels, and thereby, additionally compromises cognition. The tribal people of North East India have been using indigenous plants as traditional medicine for brain disorders. We assayed whether the plants used in the traditional tribal knowledge for the treatment of brain disorders might contain better AChE-inhibitors. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We collected 10 traditional medicinal plants from Northeast India. A total of 39 plant extracts were prepared using three solvent systems. The Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was measured with Ellman method. The experiment was done in triplicate for each level of inhibitor. The activity was measured at 412 nm wavelength using Plate Reader. The standard student t-test was used to show significant difference in IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values between extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The result are reported based on Km, Vmax, IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; (&lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/&lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;l), percentage inhibition and inhibition pattern. Two extracts had competitive inhibition, 11 extracts had mixed inhibition, 2 extracts had non-competitive inhibition, 11 extracts had uncompetitive inhibition and 4 extracts did not provide any proper pattern. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; for these plant extracts were at the range of 0.51-12.4 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/&lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;l. Notably, Cinnamomum camphora (leaf: chloroform), Litsea glutinosa (stem; chloroform), and Litsea glutinosa (stem; methanol) showed IC50 values of 0.51, 0.53 &amp;amp; 0.81 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/&lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;l, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
