“…We found that all Crotalaria species in the Karen villages we studied were used for medicinal purposes, which was different from their popular uses at a global level. Because Crotalaria species contain useful secondary compounds, such as alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids, they can be used as medicine [28]. Flemingia and Senna are commonly found in the villages, making them easy to obtain and use by villagers [29], and both genera are much used in traditional medicine.…”

Leguminosae (legumes) are one of the largest plant families. They are widely used for a variety of purposes by people around the world and include many important cultivated economic food crops. On local scales, legumes are commonly used by various ethnic groups. However, the data are incomplete and scattered, not least in Thailand. We found that species of legumes were important in Karen communities, so we decided to investigate in detail the traditional knowledge of legumes on a local scale among Karen people in northern Thailand. We interviewed six herbalists and eighty-four nonherbalist informants in three Karen villages in Chiang Mai province about their use of legumes, and about the local names for the species, using semistructured interviews. A total of 83 legumes species (in 45 genera) had 4443 use reports. Five of the 83 legume species had not been reported previously as used in Thailand. Most Karen use reports (43%) of legumes were for food, medicine (36%), and materials (8%), but in term of species more legumes (68 species) were used for medicine than for food (53 species). The legume genera with most used species were Crotalaria and Flemingia each with six species. The most important species are Tamarindus indica (CI = 3.38), Senegalia rugata (CI = 2.39), Glycine max (CI = 1.27) respectively.

“…Recent findings about species of the genus Crotalaria describe their biological activity, by example the ethanolic fractions of C. retusa, the chloroform fraction of C. prostrate, the ethanolic extract of C. medicaginea, the ethanolic extract of C. pallida, the methanolic extract of C. burhia, and the fractions of C. bernieri and C. madurensis showed inhibitory capacity against E. coli [4,9,10,13,21]. The species C. longirostrata has been reported to have ethnobotanical activity, but an antimicrobial evaluation had not yet been done, and the chemical compounds responsible remained unknown.…”

“…As a result, the use of natural products for the management of fungal diseases in plants is considered a reasonable substitute for synthetic fungicides [3]. The genus Crotalaria includes around 600 species distributed throughout the tropics and subtropical regions of the world, which have been used as antagonists to nematodes in sustainable crop production systems [4,5].…”

Abstract:The genus Crotalaria comprises about 600 species that are distributed throughout the tropics and subtropical regions of the world; they are antagonistic to nematodes in sustainable crop production systems, and have also shown antimicrobial capacity. Chipilín (C. longirostrata), which belongs to this genus, is a wild plant that grows in the state of Chiapas (Mexico) and is traditionally is used as food. Its leaves also have medicinal properties and are used as hypnotics and narcotics; however, the plant has received little research attention to date. In the experimental part of this study, dried leaves were macerated by ethanol. The extract obtained was fractionated with ethyl ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, 2-propanone, and water. The extracts were evaluated against three bacteria-namely, Escherichia coli (Ec), Citrobacter freundii (Cf), and Staphylococcus epidermidis (Se)-and three fungi-Fusarium oxysporum A. comiteca (FoC), Fusarium oxysporum A. tequilana (FoT), and Fusarium solani A. comiteca (FSC). During this preliminary study, a statistical analysis of the data showed that there is a significant difference between the control ciprofloxacin (antibacterial), the antifungal activity experiments (water was used as a negative control), and the fractions used. The aqueous fraction (WF) was the most active against FoC, FsC, and FoT (30.65, 20.61,and 27.36% at 96 h, respectively) and the ethyl ether fraction (EEF) was the most active against Se (26.62% at 48 h).
