An ethnopharmacological survey was carried out among 224 informants to collect the information on medicinal plants used for the traditional treatment of female infertility in the Fes, Meknes and Boulemane region. In total, 63 plant species belonging to 29 families were used against female infertility. The most frequently cited plants were Lavandula officinalis (26.33%), Mentha pulegium (13.83%), Mentha suaveolens (11.16%), Rosmarinus officinalis (10.71%) and Petroselinum sativum (8.03%). Furthermore, the present study represents a useful documentation for the preservation of this knowledge about medicinal plants and for the amelioration of women reproductive health.

Background: In Saudi Arabia, the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer are high. Although current treatments are effective, breast cancer cells develop resistance to these treatments. Numerous studies have demonstrated that active compounds in plant extracts, such as the phenolic compound Rosmarinic Acid (RA), exert anti-cancer effects. Objective: We investigated the anticancer properties of methanolic crude extracts of seedlings and calli of Rosmarinus officinalis and Coleus hybridus, two Lamiaceae species. Methods: MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were treated with methanolic crude extracts obtained from plant calli and seedlings generated in vitro, and cell proliferation was evaluated. Transcriptional profiling of the seedling and callus tissues was also conducted. Results: The mRNA expression levels of RA genes were higher in C. hybridus seedlings than in R. officinalis seedlings, as well as in C. hybridus calli than in R. officinalis calli, except for TAT and C4H. In addition, seedling and callus extracts of both R. officinalis and C. hybridus showed anti-proliferative effects against MCF-7 cells after 24 or 48 h of treatment. Discussion: At a low concentration of 10 μg/mL, C. hybridus calli and seedling extracts showed the most significant anti-proliferative effects after 24 and 48 h of exposure (p < 0.01); controls (doxorubicin) also showed significant inhibition, but lesser than that observed with C. hybridus (p < 0.05). Results with R. officinalis callus and seedling extracts did not significantly differ from those with untreated cells. Conclusion: Methanolic extracts of R. officinalis and C. hybridus are potentially valuable options for breast cancer treatment.

The World

Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease and remains one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. One fourth of the world population is infected with TB at a risk of developing disease. The increase in the incidence of drug resistant TB around the world urges the need to develop a new candidate to fight against the disease. Plants were considered as the rich source of bioactive components to be used as potential drugs. Medicinal plants are used in pure as well as crude materials for their medicinal properties. Our research aims in identifying the phyto-molecules which have anti- tuberculosis property. Four medicinal plants namely, Acalyphaciliata (Kuppaimeni), Solanumtrilobatum (Thuthuvalai), Momordicacharantia (Bitter Gourd) and Sennaauriculata (Avaram) were chosen to evaluate their antimicrobial activity focusing on anti-tubercular activity. The methanol extracts of the medicinal plants showed significant inhibitory activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Sennaauriculata methanol extracts showed activity against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. In the screening of antimycobacterial activity done by LRP assay, among the plant extracts tested, the hexane crude extracts of Momordicacharantia (Bitter Gourd) showed 82.2% and 81.03% of inhibition against M. tuberculosis H37Rv at 500µg/ml and 250µg/ml concentration respectively. Similarly, the methanol crude extracts of Momordicacharantia showed 87.14% and 63.55% of inhibition at 500µg/ml and 250µg/ml concentration respectively.

Medicinal plants are an integral component of alternative medical care. For millennia, Indian people traditionally played an important role in the management of biological resources and were custodians of related knowledge that they acquired through trial and error over centuries. India has a rich wealth ofmedicinal plants and the potential to accept the challenge to meet the global demand for them. In recent time, focus on plant research has increased all over the world and a large body evidence has collected to show immense potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional system. Plumbago zeylanica L.(Plumbaginaceae) is a tropical plant and the source for the well known ayurvedic drug ‘chitrakah’. Different parts of this plant are widely used for variety of medicinal treatments. Especially used for appetite, indigestion, piles, worms, liver diseases and cancer treatments. The present study was therefore carried outto provide pharmacognostic details of root of Plumbago zeylanica. The physico-chemical analysis of ash content indicated the presence of inorganic matter and siliceous matter in the drug. The phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids. Plumbagin is anaturally occurring yellow pigment, produced by member of plumbaginaceae that can be obtained from roots

Cinnamomum Zeylanicum

O Brasil é um dos grandes produtores de tomate, porém a maior parte da produção destina-se ao consumo interno por não se enquadrar nos padrões internacionais. Neste estudo foi avaliado o efeito de óleos essenciais sobre parâmetros físico-químicos, bem como no controle de patógenos pós-colheita em frutos de tomateiro. Os tratamentos avaliados foram Cantus® (testemunha positiva), água destilada (testemunha negativa), óleos essenciais a 1% de Alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis), Canela (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Cravo-da-índia (Caryophillus aromaticus), Copaíba (Copaifera sp.). Os frutos foram imergidos nos tratamentos, incubados em câmara úmida por 24 horas e mantidos em sala climatizada com temperatura de 25ºC. Avaliou-se a redução de massa, cor, potencial hidrogeniônico (pH), sólidos solúveis totais (SST), acidez total titulável (ATT), relação sólidos solúveis totais e acidez total titulável (SST/ATT), índice de maturação e incidência de patógenos. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quarenta e oito parcelas, totalizando 192 frutos. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas em três períodos, sendo uma avaliação anterior à incubação e duas após. As análises físico-químicas após a incubação foram realizadas ao 3º e 7º dias de armazenamento. As avaliações de incidência de patógenos e maturação foram realizadas diariamente. Para os parâmetros de ATT, SST, pH e SST/ATT não houve alteração decorrente da aplicação dos óleos essenciais, assemelhando-se aos resultados encontrados na literatura. Os tratamentos com óleos essenciais não apresentaram eficiência no controle de patógenos pós-colheita, porém observa-se que óleo de alecrim controlou a maturação dos frutos em pós-colheita.
