“…Previous studies on A. rosea plant were focused on its biological activities such as hepatotoxicity (Hussain et al 2014), tyrosinase inhibitory activity (Namjooyan et al 2011), antibacterial activity (Seyyednejad et al 2010). Studies on antiproliferative activity of A. rosea plant are not sufficient.…”

Turkey has a wide range of flora and fauna due to its climatic diversity. Medicinal plants from Turkey have been used since ancient times for their primary health care. In this study, we examined antiproliferative activities of the extracts from Crataegus monogyna, Vitis vinifera, Glycrrhiza glabra, Alnus glutinosa L. gaertn, and Alcea rosea against rat brain tumor (C6) and human cervical cancer (HeLa) cell lines. The results were compared with the standard anticancer drugs 5-Flurouracil (5-FU) and Cisplatin. C. monogyna, V. vinifera and A. rosea exhibited better antiproliferative activity than 5-FU and cisplatin at 100-75 μg/mL concentrations, against C6 cell lines. On the other hand, C. monogyna and V. vinifera extracts showed considerable antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells compared with 5-FU and cisplatin at 100-75 μg/mL. It can be suggested that, C. monogyna, A. glutinosa L. gaertn, V. vinifera and A. rosea extracts could be developed as an anticancer drug.

“…There are several studies that depict the antimicrobial and insecticidal properties of the numerous plant extracts. S. aureus is the source of severe community acquired infections and there is an increase in Methicillin Resistant S. aureus infections in many countries of the world (Seyyednejad et al, 2010). Different bacterial strains were used in the study based on the disease-causing potential in humans and including both gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial classes.…”

Background: Ethnic medication systems have been used extensively by humans since their origin. Now a day, in the developing countries these systems are being used due to their effectiveness and affordability. Especially inhabitants of rural areas still rely on these systems as first line of treatment against diseased conditions. Till now, majority of medicines is derived from the natural origin particularly plants owing to their little side effects and cost effectiveness. Materials and Methods:In the present work, we evaluated antibacterial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Bombax ceiba stem bark. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were also assessed in the extract. The antioxidant capacity was determined by DPPH, Nitric Oxide scavenging and reducing power activity. For antibacterial activity, Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi) and Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) were used. Results: Phenolic content was 133.21±1.56 µg GAE/mg of extract while Flavonoid content was 997.93±2.14 µg QE/mg. Plant extract demonstrated strong antiradical activity with EC 50 18.78 ± 0.69 and 23.62 ± 1.99µg/ml for Nitric Oxide and DPPH assay respectively while EC 50 in case of reducing power activity was 139.4 ± 0.98µg/ml. Plant extract displayed inhibitory effect against microbial growth with S. typhi as the most resistant strain and Staphylococcus aureus the most sensitive one. Conclusion: This study revealed that Bombax ceiba of local origin has broad spectrum antibacterial activity and it can also provide defense against oxidative stress.

“…12 We prefer a cold infusion because polysaccharides are more soluble in water than alcohol, and aqueous extracts from the roots of marshmallow are widely used for treatment of irritated mucosa to such an extent that researchers involved in one study blithely referred to practical experience with the plant as "clinical proven effects." 13 These scientists presumed that the benefit for patients with irritated mucosa resulted from the ability of its rhamnogalacturonan-type bioadhesive and mucilaginous polysaccharides to form a mucin-like layer on top of the irritated tissues.…”

Many useful herbal treatments have no clinical research support because of the lack of funding for large research studies. Nonetheless, these remedies are widely used in practice. This article reviews the common uses of Anemopsis californica (yerba mansa) for treating various dental conditions and abscesses; use of an Eclectic formula, Neutralizing Cordial-that combines Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal), Cinnamomum spp. (cinnamon), and Rheum palmatum (Turkey rhubarb) with spirit of Mentha x piperata (peppermint) essential oil and a simple sugar syrup-to address many digestive disorders, such as diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, and bloating; use of Ceanothus spp. (red root) to treat persistent cases of laryngitis; and use of Althaea off icinalis (marshmallow) root or Malva spp. (mallow) leaves to prevent strep throat.
