“…studied this substance constitutes from a few to several dozen percent, depending on the maturity of the flower heads (Table 2). Alpha-cis-bergamotene is the major component of oils that are characterised by antioxidant and antibacterial activity (Liu et al, 2012a,b;Senatore et al, 2003). Given the similarity of the chemical composition of the oils characteristic for both the arnica cultivars, it can be suggested that the analysed group of secondary metabolites should exhibit common biological properties, which is confirmed by the fact that A. montana and A. chamissonis flowers have been regarded as pharmaceutical raw material by the European Commission ().…”

“…Its popular herbal preparation together with Ocimum basilicum, Mentha piperita and Alpinia galanga is used against the symptoms of influenza, dermatitis and the slight illness that derives from the bites of bugs (Subramanian and Nair, 1972). Essential oils have been extracted by hydrodistillation from the leaves and have been reported to be antimicrobial in nature (Senatore et al, 2003). The plant has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity (Grover et al, 2001), antiulcer activity (Mohammed et al, 2008), antifungal property (Kulandhaivel et al, 2011) and anticancer property (Muthuraman et al, 2012).…”

The present study was carried out to determine the antibacterial efficacy of chloroform, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of leaf and leaf derived callus of Anisochilus carnosus against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtiltis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Vibrio parahaemolytics, Enterobater aerogenes, Proteus mirabilis, andKlebseilla pneumoniae. The leaf segments were cut into small pieces of size 1 sq.cm and were cultured on Murashige and Skoog solid medium supplemented with different auxins alone and in combination. Antibacterial efficacy was performed by disc diffusion method followed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination by two fold serial dilution method. Leaf and leaf callus extracts were subjected to the qualitative phytochemical analysis. Maximum callus formation percentage was obtained from the leaf segments cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2, 4-D (3 mg/l). Methanolic leaf extract showed maximum antibacterial activity with 26 mm zone of inhibition against K. pneumonia with MIC value of 0.64 mg/ml. Out of the callus extracts, ethanolic callus extract showed the maximum bioefficacy against K. pneumonia with 20 mm zone of inhibition and MIC value of 1.25 mg/ml. Results revealed that both leaf and leaf derived callus are effective against K. pneumoniae. The bioefficacy study confirms the antibacterial potential of leaf and leaf derived callus of A. carnosus. The study paves a way for the production of secondary metabolites by establishing high potential cell lines of callus tissues.

“…Distribution in India is mainly seen in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu and practiced traditionally in tribal communities for the treatment of ulcer, stomach ache, cough, and eczema. This plant's phytochemical study has revealed it to be rich in active compounds such as saponins, tannins, flavonoids (apigenin and luteolin), phytosterols, triterpenoids, and essential oil components (carvacrol, β-selinene, camphor, α-cis-bergamotene, and caryophyllene) [11][12][13].…”

Objective: The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in India is high, and majority leads to severe gastrointestinal infections. Existing treatment regimens for H. pylori infections have increased failure rates and adverse side effects that desire the search for an effective substitute therapy. Anisochilus carnosus (L.f.) wall (Lamiaceae), a herb which grows once in a year at high elevation is used widely in traditional treatment for the complaints of gastric ulcer and skin diseases. The present study was performed to assess the antibacterial activity of A. carnosus (L.f.) wall, against clinical isolates of H. pylori in vitro. Methods:A. carnosus leaves were collected-dried and extracted with water and ethanol by cold maceration with ethanol by soxhlet method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of extracts was made and tested against 32 clinical and 1 reference strains of H. pylori. Results:A. carnosus (L.f.) wall inhibited the growth of most of the clinical H. pylori strains. The MIC of A. carnosus (L.f.) wall extracted by cold maceration (aqueous and ethanol) and Soxhlet apparatus (ethanol) ranged from 500 to 62.5 µg/ml, and the majority of the clinical H. pylori strains were inhibited at the MIC of 500 µg/ml of aqueous, ethanol, and Soxhlet ethanol extraction were 63.63%, 43.75%, and 71.87%, respectively. Conclusion:A. carnosus (L.f.) wall is an efficient inhibitor of H. pylori growth in vitro. A. carnosus (L.f.) wall revealed enormous therapeutic potential to H. pylori infection as it was extremely active in the suppression of H. pylori. Hence, it can be taken as a potential agent against several H. pylori linked gastric pathogenic progressions.
