“…Plant based antibiotic drugs have enormous therapeutic potential and have been proven effective in the treatment of infectious diseases with less or no side effects which are often associated with synthetic antibiotics. 27 The terpene alcohols damage the cell membranes of E. coli, S. aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes, resulting in leakage of potassium ions from cells, which cause death of the organism. Recent reports suggest that the sesquiterpene alcohol like farnesol has been confirmed to reduce the growth of S. aureus and Streptococcus mutans.…”

a b s t r a c tObjective: To evaluate chemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Caryota urens L. Methods: Qualitative analysis of crude extract of C. urens was carried out by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCeMS) method and their in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, reducing power and nitric oxide scavenging assays. Antimicrobial activity was determined by disc diffusion method. Results: GCeMS analysis showed the presence of fatty acids, aliphatic, aromatic and phenolic acids. The antioxidant activity of immature fruit and leaf extracts yielded high activity when compared to the fruit skin. The fruit skin and immature fruit of C. urens exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the tested pathogens (Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhii, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella flexneri) when compared to leaf. Conclusion: In our results, we suggest that C. urens extracts have strong antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. The identified bioactive compounds of C. urens could be attributed to antioxidant and antimicrobial property.

“…The growth‐promoting effect of Indian lotus leaves could be linked with the active compounds present in the plant leaves as alkaloids (nuciferine, nornuciferine and roemerine) and terpenoids (neophytadiene and phytol acetate) (Ahn et al, ; Mehta et al, ). These compounds have been known by their antimicrobial, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties (Jeyadevi, Sivasudha, Ilavarasi, & Thajuddin, ; Kim & Shin, ; Venkata Raman et al, ). Additionally, Indian lotus‐enriched diets induced an increase in villous heights and the numbers of goblet cells and IEL in the present study.…”

Indian lotus, Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) is a valued medicinal plant that exhibits several pharmacological properties. The present work aimed to investigate the effect of Indian lotus as a feed supplement on the growth performance, haematological and biochemical indices, and intestinal histo‐morphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.). The fish were randomly distributed into four groups and fed on a basal diet containing Indian lotus leaf powder at different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4%) for up to 60 days. The results elucidated that Indian lotus supplemented diets (0.2% and 0.4% followed by 0.1%) significantly improved weight gain, specific growth rate (%) and feed conversion ratio (p < .05). The feed intake was significantly increased in the fish fed on the Indian lotus supplemented diets in a dose‐dependent manner (p < .05). However, Indian lotus had no significant effect (p > .05) on survival rate, total erythrocytes (RBCs) count, haemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit value (PCV, %) except a significant reduction on Hb content of the fish fed on 0.2% Indian lotus and a significant increase in PCV (%) in the fish fed on 0.1% Indian lotus (p < .05). The total leucocytes (WBCs), neutrophils and lymphocytes counts displayed significant elevations in the fish fed on the Indian lotus diets especially at 0.2% and 0.4%, whereas significant reduction in neutrophils count in the fish fed on 0.1% Indian lotus (p < .05) was observed. The serum glucose was significantly decreased in the fish fed on Indian lotus (0.1% and 0.2%), whereas cholesterol and triglycerides were markedly increased in the fish fed on the Indian lotus supplemented diets (p < .05). Moreover, the intestinal villous heights and the numbers of goblet cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) were significantly boosted in all parts of the intestine in all Indian lotus diet groups as compared with the control group. However, as an exception, villous heights in the middle part of the intestine in the fish fed on 0.1% and 0.4% diets (p < .05) were not affected. In the proximal part, the villous heights and the numbers of goblet cells were markedly increased in fish fed on 0.2% and 0.4% diets followed by 0.1% diet. The fish fed on 0.2% lotus supplemented diet followed by 0.1% and 0.4% supplemented diets exhibited significant elevations in villous heights in the distal part and the numbers of goblet cells in the middle part of the intestine. There were no significant differences between the fish fed on the supplemented diets in the numbers of goblet cells in the distal part and the numbers of IEL in the proximal and middle parts (p > .05). In the distal part, the numbers of IEL revealed a significant elevation in 0.4% lotus supplemented diet followed by 0.1% and 0.2% lotus supplemented diet groups (p < .05). Therefore, this study indicates the advantageous effect of the Indian lotus leaves as a natural feed additive for improving growth, intestinal structure and hence, health status of Nile tilapia.

Before the modern day, medicine and its pharmacopeia of synthetic drugs, there were plants and ancient civilizations knew how to use the plants strategically to treat common ailments and even life-threatening diseases. Natural plant-based remedies are used for the both acute and chronic health problems from treating common colds to control blood pressure and cholesterol. Plant medicines were the most widely used medicines in the world because of their safety and very less or no side effects. In this way, the aim of this review article was to summarize the phytochemical and medicinal information of the readily reachable plant Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn. This is commonly known as Balloon vine extensively dispersed in tropical and subtropical areas of world. The roots, leaves, stem, and seeds of this plant are employed as herbal medication. The phytochemical analysis confirmed that this herb contains flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, saponin, protein, carbohydrates, glycosides, variety of fatty acids, and volatile esters. Due to the presence of various compounds, this plant has antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antidiarrheal, anxiolytic, antioxidant, antipyretic, antirheumatic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancinogenic activities.
