Mechanism of shuttle entry SARS-COV-2 virus is by interaction with viral spike protein human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptor. To explore potential natural therapeutics, 213 important phy...

Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani is one of the destructive diseases potato. An in vitro experiment was conducted using poisoned food technique to evaluate efficacy acetone extracts six plant species on mycelial growth A. solani. Plant Artemisia vulgaris, Melia azedarach, Parthenium hysterophorus, Datura stramonium, and Justicia adhatoda at concentrations 0.1%, 0.5% 5% prepared from Sox...

The current study was intended for isolation of bioactive polyphenolic compounds from methanol extract of Justicia Gendarussa and their subsequent characterization. The flavonoid compounds were isolated and identified by using thin layer chromatography (TLC), were qualified by using reverse phase high performance chromatography (RP-HPLC). Their structures and chemical bonds were analyzed using ...

A lot of traditional medicinal plant has antibacterial activities. Most of these plants are freshly chewed or grounded and used directly to treat infectious bacterial diseases. However, some practices employ a traditionally spontaneous fermentation on boiled extracted leaf, root or other parts of the plant. This work reports a laboratory stimulated spontaneous fermentation of leaf extracts from...

The antimicrobial potential of seventy-seven extracts from twenty-four plants was screened against eight bacteria and four pathogenic fungi, using microbroth dilution assay. Lowest concentration of the extract, which inhibits any visual microbial growth after treatment with p-iodonitrotetrazolium violet, was considered to be minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Water extracts of Acacia nilot...

Justicia insularis T. Anders (Acanthaceae) is a medicinal plant whose leaves and those of three other plants are mixed for the preparation of a concoction used to improve fertility and to reduce labour pains in women of the Western Region of Cameroon. Previous studies have demonstrated the inducing potential on ovarian folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis of the aqueous extract of the leaf mixt...

Adhatoda vasica (L.) (Acanthaceae) is used in the indigenous system of medicine in India. The alkaloid Vasicine was isolated from ethanolic extract of the leaves of A. vasica using column chromatography. Vasicine acetate was obtained by acetylation of Vasicine. Vasicine acetate exhibited good zone of inhibition against bacteria: 10 mm against E. aerogenes, 10 mm against S. epidermidis, and 10 m...

Adhatoda zeylanica is a dietary supplement ingredient present in several types of dietary supplements, including weight loss, respiratory relief, and immune regulating products. Due to its reported wide range of uses in folk medicine, it was hypothesized that it may have the potential to target multiple organs and lead to a range of toxicity features.
