Several herb can grow naturally thanks to climate and geographical features of Turkey. Although there are approximately one million weed in the world, there are still many unidentified weeds. While more than ten thousand weeds are used as a food, only 3000 weeds species are cultivated in Turkey. Eastern Anatolia region is one of the most important regions of Turkey in terms of consuming weeds. The rate of endemic plants is higher in this region, most of them are important economically, because they can be used as a medicinal plants, spices, ornaments, dyes or food. Not only these are utilized as raw or cooked food but also flavorant.

Plant determined medications remains an important source, particularly in creating countries, to look at genuine sicknesses roughly 62-80% of the total populace although everything depends on conventional medication for the therapy of specific disease. Indeed, plants produce a various scope of bioactive atoms creation them an ironic wellspring of an alternate kind of drugs. There are hardly any reports and utilization of plants in conventional mending by either ancestral individuals or indigenous network. Rejuvenating plants are the wellspring of extraordinary monetary estimation of everywhere on over the world. Nature has the best word on us a rich plant riches, and an enormous number of assorted kinds of plants develop in various pieces of the nation. Homegrown medication is as yet a pillar of around 75 to 85% the entire populace and the significant aspect of the conventional therapy the utilization of the plant extricate and the dynamic constituents. Among the 7000 types of rejuvenating plants perceived everywhere on over the world in excess of 9000, valuable medicinal plants are found in India. Unfortunately, just not many of them are utilized for their therapeutic worth. Around 1500 plants systematically utilize the conventional arrangement of Indian medication. Notwithstanding, the ethanopharmacologist, microbiologist, botanist and common item physicist world over today, is continually still looking for therapeutic adequacy of the plants on the phytochemicals. Along these lines, the quest for the new phytochemical is the foremost significant important to research the primer phytochemical examination to Terminalia catappa and Syzygium jumbolanam.

The new SARS-CoV-2 belonging to the coronaviruses family has caused a pandemic affecting millions of people around the world. This pandemic has been declared by the World Health Organization as an international public health emergency. Although several clinical trials involving a large number of drugs are currently underway, no treatment protocol for COVID-19 has been officially approved so far. Here we demonstrate through a search in the scientific literature that the traditional Moroccan pharmacopoeia, which includes more than 500 medicinal plants, is a fascinating and promising source for the research of natural molecules active against SARS-CoV-2. Multiple in-silico and in-vitro studies showed that some of the medicinal plants used by Moroccans for centuries possess inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2. These inhibitory activities are achieved through the different molecular mechanisms of virus penetration and replication, or indirectly through stimulation of immunity. Thus, the potential of plants, plant extracts and molecules derived from plants that are traditionally used in Morocco and have activity against SARS-CoV-2, could be explored in the search for a preventive or curative treatment against COVID-19. Furthermore, safe plants or plant extracts that are proven to stimulate immunity could be officially recommended by governments as nutritional supplements.

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.

Abstract Today, the coronavirus epidemic, which caused the death of 79 million cases and 1743 thousand people in 218 countries around the world, continues to increase its impact all over the world. Researchers are still trying to develop an effective solution against covid-19, including vaccines and drugs. However, there are few studies that determine the effect of natural products obtained from plants on covid-19. Medicinal and aromatic plants have been used for therapeutic purposes since the existence of humanity. In this study, the effects of some important medicinal plants including Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Saffron (Crocus sativus L.), Nigella (Nigella sativa L.), Laurel (Lauris nobilis), Karabaş (Lavandula stoechas), and Zahter (Thymbra spicata L. var. Spicata) against Covid-19 were investigated in vitro conditions. The six plants were evaluated for cytotoxic effect on Vero cells and determining inhibition of viral replication in Vero-E6 cells at concentrations of broad-spectrum antiviral non-cytotoxic against Covid-19 in cell culture and an additional antiviral effect against Covid-19. According to the results, the five examined plants (Saffron, Nigella, Laurel, Karabaş, Zahter) were ineffective against Covid-19 in vitro conditions. Interisingly, the water extract obtained from the root of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra) inhibited Covid-19 in vitro conditions in the 2nd dilution (1: 4) following the initial concentration in Vero-E6 cells.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the major health problems in the world, the incidence and associated mortality are increasing. Fourth leading causes of death in the most advanced countries and there, in other emerging and recently industrialized nations, still controlled the epidemic. Inadequate control of blood sugar has significant consequences for well-being. Ayurveda and other Indian writing referenced the utilized of plants in the treatment of different diseases. Medicinal plant with antidiabetic potential has been recent area of research. The efficiency of these medicinal plants may regulate the diabetic metabolic abnormalities. This work would help researchers to choose potential herbal for diabetic treatment.
