“…Numerous studies have considered the antimicrobial screening of traditional plant extracts. The studies of medicinal plants from diverse topographical areas include: Armenia [65], Iran [66], Mexico [67], Saudi Arabia [68], Libya [26], Ethiopia [64], India [63], Poland [69], Cameroon [70], Nigeria [71], and other Middle Eastern countries [72]. Based on the available information, the traditional plant extracts showed antimicrobial activity against a huge number of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoan, and Trypanosoma [26,63,64,66].…”

Traditional medicinal plants have been cultivated to treat various human illnesses and avert numerous infectious diseases. They display an extensive range of beneﬁcial pharmacological and health effects for humans. These plants generally synthesize a diverse range of bioactive compounds which have been established to be potent antimicrobial agents against a wide range of pathogenic organisms. Various research studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial activity of traditional plants scientifically or experimentally measured with reports on pathogenic microorganisms resistant to antimicrobials. The antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants or their bioactive compounds arising from several functional activities may be capable of inhibiting virulence factors as well as targeting microbial cells. Some bioactive compounds derived from traditional plants manifest the ability to reverse antibiotic resistance and improve synergetic action with current antibiotic agents. Therefore, the advancement of bioactive-based pharmacological agents can be an auspicious method for treating antibiotic-resistant infections. This review considers the functional and molecular roles of medicinal plants and their bioactive compounds, focusing typically on their antimicrobial activities against clinically important pathogens.

“…Phyla nodiflora, also known as Lippia nodiflora, is a perennial herb, indigenous to the Americas, but dispersed widely by natural and human events. In Mexico, P. nodiflora has been reported for traditional use as aseptic, purgative, uterine/menstrual problems, antiparasitic, and for fever control [19]. No evidence about its antidiabetic potential has been reported in our country, while γ-sitosterol isolated from P. nodiflora collected in India showed an increasing insulin secretion effect in presence of glucose in diabetic rats [20].…”

Purpose: To evaluate the inhibitory activity of 10 wild Verbenaceae species from Mexico against αglucosidase and α-amylase. Methods: Ethanol leaf extracts of 10 Verbenaceae species from Mexico were prepared. The inhibitory activity of the extracts against α-glucosidase and α-amylase was evaluated using enzymatic protocols. At least four serial diluted concentrations of each extract was used to calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50). Results: The 10 evaluated Verbenaceae species showed high α-glucosidase inhibition activity, but a low inhibitory effect on α-amylase. Aloysia gratissima (IC50 = 0.122 mg/mL), Verbena carolina (IC50 = 0.112 mg/mL), Bouchea prismatica (IC50 = 0.122 mg/mL), Verbena menthiflora (IC50 = 0.071mg/mL) and Priva mexicana (IC50 = 0.032 mg/mL) exhibited the strongest inhibitory activities against αglucosidase. Conclusion: All the Verbenaceae species studied possess α-glucosidase inhibitory effect, with P. mexicana being the one with the strongest activity. These findings demonstrate the highs potential of these species as a source of natural antihyperglycemic agents for type 2 diabetes therapy.

“…La alta presencia de especies de las familias Lamiaceae y Asteraceae se debe a los siguientes factores 1) a la alto número de especies medicinales pertenecientes a ambas familia utilizadas en el estado de Querétaro (Cabrera Luna, 2015) y 2) a la presencia de diversos principios activos en sus especies (Bakkali, Averbeck, Averbeck, & Idaomar, 2008;Heinrich, Robles, West, J., Ortiz, B., & Rodríguez, 1998;Zheng et al, 2013), los cuales son reconocidos de manera empírica por parte de los comerciantes. Científicamente se le han reconocido propiedades expectorantes, antimicrobiana, desinflamatorio y antitusivo a diversas especies registradas en este trabajo (Albarca-Vargas & Petricevich, 2018;Ashutosh, Flores-Vallejo, Cardoso-Taketa, & Villareal, 2017;de la Cruz P., 2014;Enciso-Díaz et al, 2012;Horváth & Ács, 2015;Rojas, Levaro, Tortoriello, & Navarro, 2001;Villagómez Ibarra et al, 2001;Zheng et al, 2013), por lo que su uso y comercialización era de esperarse.…”
