“…The alkaloidal and sesquiterpene lactone fractions have shown activity against Candida species [73], while the ethanolic extracts of fruits showed a significant inhibition of the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [74]. In addition, the fruit's aqueous extract inhibited the growth and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus flavus in a dose-dependent manner [75].…”

Ammi visnaga L. (Visnaga daucoides Gaertn., Family Apiaceae), also known as Khella Baldi or toothpick weed, is an annual or biennial herb indigenous to the Mediterranean region of North Africa, Asia, and Europe. The plant is known to have been used in traditional medicine a long time ago. Nowadays, it is used in modern medicine to treat many aliments such as renal colic and coronary insufficiency, and is used as an antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial, with a larvicidal effect on mosquito larvae. Peer-reviewed studies show that these pharmacological activities are due its valuable chemical constituents that include mainly essential oil, polyphenolic compounds including flavonoids, as well as γ-pyrones, represented mainly by khellin and visnagin. Its essential oil is reported to have antiviral, antibacterial, and larvicidal effects, while its flavonoid content is responsible for its antioxidant activity. Its γ-pyrone content has a powerful effect on facilitating the passage of kidney stones and relieving renal colic, in addition to having a relaxant effect on smooth muscle including that of the coronary arteries. The current review represents the progress in research on A. visnaga in terms of either its chemistry or biological activities. This review represents scientific support material for the use of the plant by the pharmaceutical industry.

“…The major chemical constituents reported to be present in these plants were indicated in table 3 (Rizk, 1986).Some of these plant extracts were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and Candida species (Jawad, et al 1988 (Kumar, 1964;Rodriguez-Lopez, et.al.1970).However, only few reports were noticed on the use of plants chemical compounds in the control of algal blooms (Hussein-Ayoub, et al1982).…”

Some Iraqi plants which belonging to different families were extracted in 80% Ethanol and the ability of these extracts to control and growth of Cyanobacteria was evaluated. Results indicated that Artemisia campestris, Achillia santolina, Artemisia herba-alba and Centurea khotchii extracts were very active in inhibiting the growth of the test Cyanobacterial species. However, other plants extracts in this study did not show any promising algicidal potencies.

The genus Marrubium (Lamiaceae) is comprised of about forty species, distributed in Europe, Asia and Brazil. Some species are traditionally used to treat various diseases, including asthma, pulmonary infections, inflammation and hypotension, as cholagogues and sedative agents, and for pain relief. A literature review on the chemical and biological aspects of these plants indicates antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria, analgesic properties, and anti-hypertensive, antidiabetic, antioxidant properties, among others, particularly related to the presence of diterpenes, sterols, phenylpropanoids and flavonoids. This review shows the main chemical and pharmacological aspects of the genus Marrubium, with emphasis on M. vulgare, which grows in Brazil and has been studied by us and other authors.
