“…Practitioners use the plant externally for skin disorders, but several scientific reports demonstrate that it exhibits a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity when administered systemically or in isolated organ preparations. For example, it is used to treat arterial hypotension and as an analgesic, abortive, diuretic, antispasmodic, dyspeptic, antiviral, and smooth muscle relaxant; it also has negative inotropic and chronotropic actions (Pe′rez‐Saad & Buznego, 2008).…”

In this study, we examined the chemical compositions of essential oil and tested the efficacy of oil and organic extracts of Cestrum nocturnum L. against food-borne pathogens. The chemical compositions of the oil was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty-seven compounds representing 93.28% of the total oil were identified. The oil [5 lL of 1:5 (v ⁄ v) dilution of oil with methanol] and organic extracts of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol (300 lg per disc) of C. nocturnum displayed a great potential of antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538 and KCTC 1916), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19166 and ATCC 15313), Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Pseudomonas aeruginosa KCTC 2004, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 2515 and Escherichia coli ATCC 8739. Also the oil had strong detrimental effect on the viable count of the tested bacteria. The results obtained from this study may contribute to the development of new antimicrobial agents with potential applications in food industries as natural preservatives to control food-borne pathogens.

“…In Chinese folk medicine, C. nocturnum used for the treatment of some health problems [6] . The plant showed noticeable biological activities including; pesticidal [7] , insecticidal [8] , antimicrobial [9] , cytotoxic [10] , hepatoprotective [11] , anticonvulsant [12] , antidiabetic [13] , larvicidal [14] , anti-inflammatory, analgesic [15] , antitumour [16] , and wound healing [17] . Microbial and viral infections are still major risks to human health since there is a dramatic growth in microbial resistance to existence antibiotics.…”

A new steroidal saponin, named as (25R)-6α- [(β-D-glucopyranosyl) 2) was isolated from the flowers of Cestrum elegans. In addition, a known steroidal saponin (1), a flavonoid compound (3) along with a triterpene saponin (4) were isolated for the first time in genus Cestrum and identified based on their chromatographic properties, chemical and spectral data (HR-ESI-MS, 1 H, 13 C NMR, 1 H-1 H COSY, HSQC, and HMBC). The four compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities. The maximum non-toxic concentration (MNTC) on vero cell line was 1.56 µg/mL for all compounds. While, compound 1 and 3 showed antiviral activity of 34.3% and 25%, respectively.

Inhibition of α- amylase play a vital role in the clinical management of postprandial hyperglycemia. Although, powerful synthetic inhibitors are available, natural inhibitors are potentially safer. The present study was carried out to evaluate α- amylase inhibition activity from hydroalcoholic extracts from aerial parts of Cestrum nocturnum. Hydroalcoholic extract was prepared by Soxhletation Method. The extract showed strong inhibition towards α- amylase activity and IC50 value were 45.9 μg. This In vitro studies indicate the potential of C. nocturnum in the development of effective anti-diabetic agents.
