“…Herbs have been successfully applied and selected for centuries against endoparasiticides. Food-Drug Administration along with the National Administration of Drugs, for Food Medical Devices (FDA, ANMAT) monitored a few of the plants considered in various research for Artemisia absinthium, black walnut nut, wormwood as medicinally approved fruitful herbs with vermicide action (Griselda et al 2016;Osorio and Garcia 2019). The hydroalcoholic extract of A. absinthium set forth a promising and prodigious antileishmanial activity after 48-72 h. The IC 50 for the alcoholic extract of A. absinthium was reported at 56 mg/ml and 51 mg/ml cumulations of amastigote sand promastigotes.…”

“…In Pakistan almost 84% of people have utilized plants as medication. Medicinal plants are defined as 'any plant species in which all or a part of it has pharmacological activity' or 'plant/plant part fresh or dried, as whole or ground, juices, gums, latex, essential oils and other fixed or similar components which are used pure or mixed on drug development by the World Health Organization and Pharmacopoeia, respectively [3]. Through the gathering of older people centuries-old traditional folk knowledge as well as the discovery of new plant species with significant medicinal and commercial value, there is an increasing interest today in enlightening function of ethnobotanical knowledge [4].…”

The current study aimed to explore the traditional knowledge and practices of indigenous communities in Bahawalpur and adjacent regions, Pakistan, to treat a variety of diseases with a particular focus on the usage of ethnomedicinal wild plants. The objective of the study was to collect and evaluate local and indigenous knowledge regarding the quantity, variety, use and management of resources by the people. Data were gathered using Rapid Appraisal Approach (RAA), which involved in-person interviews. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics methods as well as common ethnobotanical analytical techniques viz. use value (UV), relative frequency of citation (RFC), informant consensus factor (ICF), fidelity level (FL), relative importance (RI), frequency index (FI), family use value (FUV), family importance value (FIV), popular therapeutic use value (POPUT), plant part value (PPV), preference ranking (PR), cultural significance index (CSI), rank order priority (ROP) and Jaccard index (JI). A total of 158 plant species from 49 families were identified. The perennial herbs made up 72% of the documented species of therapeutic plants. There were 21 different species in each of the two major plant families i.e., Fabaceae and Poaceae. The maximum ICF were calculated for gonorrhea and paralysis (1.0) and maximum POPUT was calculated for skin disorders (0.088) and cough (0.077), respectively. The maximum UV was found for Rumex crispus (0.57) and RI for Leucaena leucocephala (4.38). Heliotropium crispum had the highest FL value (83%) and is used to treat kidney diseases. Alhagi maurorum had the greatest RFC (0.009) and FI (0.93). Arecaceae (0.45) and Fabaceae (13.39%) had the greatest FUV while Poaceae and Fabaceae had the highest FIV (13.29 for each). Leaves were the most frequently used plant part (35%). Alhagi maurorum (4.0) and Rumex crispus (32.57) had the highest CSI and ROP, respectively. The maximum JI (28.31) was calculated for Cholistan desert. These results showed the local population’s reliance on herbal remedies to treat prevalent illnesses. To demonstrate the viability of species, it′s crucial to emphasize both the use and conservation of these species. Adopting innovative applications, enhancing their value, and prioritizing the protection of multipurpose wild plants in inhabited environments is vital.

Objective: Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants (Amaranthaceae), is a medicinal plant traditionally used for the treatment of pain, skin inflammations, fractures, and cardiac diseases. This study aimed to review the main phytochemical constituents from D. ambrosoides leaves, and the structure-activity relation of different compounds. Methodology: literature review, carried out between December 2022 and April 2023, through a bibliographic survey, in accordance with the recommended guidelines of PRISMA. The following descriptors were used “Dysphania ambrosioides”, “Chenopodium ambrosioides”, “leaves”, “traditional uses”, and “phytochemical constituents”, combining them with Boolean operators “AND” e “OR”, using electronic databases PubMed, and Google Scholar, published in the last 20 years and that addressed the theme. Results: D. ambrosioides is a promising ethnomedicinal plant and its leaves are a source of bioactive compounds such as α-terpinene, α-terpinenyl-acetate, beta-cymene, p-cymene, piperitone, carvyl acetate, piperitol acetate, trans-ascaridol, carvacrol, thymol, and limonene. In addition, chrysin, patulin, piperoylpiperidine, and scopoletin are present in this species. For these, the literature reports different mechanisms of action: PPAR –y agonist, Inhibitor of aromatase, Activation of the L-arginine/NO/cGMP/KATP pathway, an inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, Increase in glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase. Final considerations: more extensive number of preclinical pharmacological studies are performed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the components of the Phyto complex (bioactive constituents) isolated from D. ambrosioides leaves so that there is greater progress in the scientific validation for the use of the leaves as a source of therapeutic agents.
