“…Out of 11 types of herbs studied, P. indica ranked second to Cosmos caudatus Kunth in terms of antioxidant activities as measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing power (FRAP), and 2,2ʹ-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging, and inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation 13 . FRAP and DPPH radical scavenging of P. indica leaves were 4 and 2 times those of rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. (turmeric) 32 . When the antioxidant properties of different parts of P. indica extracted with different solvents, the strongest DPPH radical scavenging were from the methanol leaf extract 33 .…”

Coastal plants are those growing on muddy shores, sandy beaches and rocky promontories. Represented by a wide array of trees, shrubs, vines and epiphytes, they have important ecological and environmental values such as coastal protection and habitats for fauna. Coastal flora are also important food and medicinal plants.Pluchea indica (L.) Less., one of the coastal plants, was chosen for the review since it has been utilized as sources of food and medicine. Its extracts exhibit several pharmacological activities promoting human health benefits. The botany, bioactive compounds and pharmacological properties of P. indica are reviewed for the first time. The pharmacological properties including antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and other activities, are summarized. To date, there is only a review on the nutrition, health benefits and applications of P. indica leaves 1 . Three other reviews emphasized on the phytochemistry and biological activities of the genus Pluchea Cass 2-4 .Sources of information procured for this review were from Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, J-Stage, JSTOR, PubChem and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The primary keywords for search are Pluchea indica and the secondary keywords include constituents, antioxidant, cancer, etc. BOTANY AND USESPluchea indica (L.) Less. (syn. Baccharis indica) of the family Asteraceae (previously named as Compositae) is a bushy coastal shrub that grows up to 2 meters in height. Common names of P. indica are Indian camphorweed and Indian fleabane. Vernacular names are beluntas in Malaysia and Indonesia, khlu in Thailand,

The lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation, located in Ie Seu-um village, Aceh Besar District, harbors several medicinal plants that exhibit potential for the treatment of infectious diseases. This study aims to assess the secondary metabolite content and in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans of medicinal plants inhabiting the geothermal region. Medicinal plants, namely Pluchea indica (L.) Less., Acrostichum aureum L., Acacia mangium L., and Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., were collected within a range of 100-150 meters from the hot springs in the lower area. Methanol extracts of these medicinal plants underwent phytochemical screening and were tested for antimicrobial activity using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at a concentration of 50%. The results of phytochemical screening demonstrated positive variations in alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, triterpenoids, and tannins for each medicinal plant. The antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts noticeably inhibited the growth of S. aureus compared to E. coli and C. albicans. The largest inhibition zones were observed for the leaf part of A. mangium (12.70 ± 2.30 mm) against S. aureus, the aerial part of A. aureum (11.57 ± 2.01 mm) against E. coli, and the aerial part of P. indica (9.89 ± 1.11 mm) against C. albicans. Based on the research findings, medicinal plants originating from the lower area of the Ie Seu-um manifestation exhibit potential as antimicrobial agents, particularly against gram-positive bacteria.
