“…It is drought- and pollution-resistant as well as capable of growing on poor soils and rocky sites. The plant can also easily inhabit open areas and secondary forests [ 26 , 27 ]. A fast-growing plant, it typically grows 1 to 3 m in height but on rare occasions can reach up to 8 m [ 28 ].…”

“…It is also grown as an ornamental plant owing to its shiny foliage and pink–red winged fruit [ 33 ]. Moreover, it is a well-known topic in environmental impact studies to determine the growth and yield of crops based on the presence of D. viscosa [ 27 , 34 ] as well as study its capacity to increase resilience to pollution [ 35 , 36 ] and drought [ 37 ]. In traditional medicine systems, plant parts such as the stem, leaves, seeds, roots, bark and aerial parts are used for various treatments [ 38 ].…”

“…In traditional medicine systems, plant parts such as the stem, leaves, seeds, roots, bark and aerial parts are used for various treatments [ 38 ]. Hossain [ 39 ] reported that extract obtained from D. viscosa has shown significant antidiabetic, antimicrobial, insecticidal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, antifertility, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-ulcer, antispasmodic, anti-diarrheal and detoxification properties [ 27 ].…”

Members of Dodonaea are broadly distributed across subtropical and tropical areas of southwest and southern China. This host provides multiple substrates that can be richly colonized by numerous undescribed fungal species. There is a severe lack of microfungal studies on Dodonaea in China, and consequently, the diversity, phylogeny and taxonomy of these microorganisms are all largely unknown. This paper presents two new genera and four new species in three orders of Dothideomycetes gathered from dead twigs of Dodonaea viscosa in Honghe, China. All new collections were made within a selected area in Honghe from a single Dodonaea sp. This suggests high fungal diversity in the region and the existence of numerous species awaiting discovery. Multiple gene sequences (non-translated loci and protein-coding regions) were analysed with maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses. Results from the phylogenetic analyses supported placing Haniomyces dodonaeae gen. et sp. in the Teratosphaeriaceae family. Analysis of Rhytidhysteron sequences resulted in Rhytidhysteron hongheense sp. nov., while analysed Lophiostomataceae sequences revealed Lophiomurispora hongheensis gen. et sp. nov. Finally, phylogeny based on a combined dataset of pyrenochaeta-like sequences demonstrates strong statistical support for placing Quixadomyces hongheensis sp. nov. in Parapyrenochaetaceae. Morphological and updated phylogenetic circumscriptions of the new discoveries are also discussed.

“…Moreover, natural products coated MNPs have significant medicinal and pharmaceutical applications [9][10][11][12][13]. A large number of medicinal plants have been used for the synthesis of AgNPs and AuNPs, including leaves of Dodonaea genus [14] Cinnamomum camphora, [15] Aloe vera [16] and Amla (Emblica officinalis) [17]. Triangular synthesis of AuNPs has been performed using extract of Aloe vera plant [16].…”

This study deals with facile and rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Mentha longifolia leaves extracts (MLE). The synthesized AgNPs and AuNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The phytochemical analysis showed the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites, which are involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs). The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) observed at 435 and 550 nm, confirmed the green synthesis of AgNPs and AuNPs, respectively. The TEM images showed poly dispersed and round oval shapes of Ag and Au NPs with an average particles size of 10.23 ± 2 nm and 13.45 ± 2 nm, respectively. TEM results are in close agreements with that of AFM analysis. The FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of OH, -NH 2 and C ¼ O groups, which involved in the synthesis of NPs. The MLE and their AgNPs and AuNP exhibited good in vitro antibacterial and anti-oxidant activities. Moreover, MLE and NPs also showed in vivo analgesic activities in mice, and excellent sedative properties in open field test paradigm.

Anabasis articulata (Forssk.) Moq: A Good Source of Phytochemicals with Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Antidiabetic Potential

Anabasis articulata is medicinally used to treat various diseases. In this study, A. articulata was initially subjected to extraction, and the resultant extracts were then evaluated for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic potentials. After obtaining the methanolic extract, it was subjected to a silica gel column for separation, and fractions were collected at equal intervals. Out of the obtained fractions (most rich in bioactive compounds confirmed through HPLC), designated as A, B, C, and D as well hexane fraction, were subjected to GC-MS analysis, and a number of valuable bioactive compounds were identified from the chromatograms. The preliminary phytochemical tests were positive for the extracts where fraction A exhibited the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The hexane fraction as antimicrobial agent was the most potent, followed by the crude extract, fraction A, and fraction D. DPPH and ABTS assays were used to estimate the free radical scavenging potential of the extracts. Fraction C was found to contain potent inhibitors of both the tested radicals, followed by fraction D. The potential antidiabetic extracts were determined using α-glucosidase and amylase as probe enzymes. The former was inhibited by crude extract, hexane, and A, B, C and D fractions to the extent of 85.32 ± 0.20, 61.14 ± 0.49, 62.15 ± 0.84, 78.51 ± 0.45, 72.57 ± 0.92 and 70.61 ± 0.91%, respectively, at the highest tested concentration of 1000 µg/mL with their IC50 values 32, 180, 200, 60, 120 and 140 µg/ mL correspondingly, whereas α-amylase was inhibited to the extent of 83.98 ± 0.21, 58.14 ± 0.75, 59.34 ± 0.89, 81.32 ± 0.09, 74.52 ± 0.13 and 72.51 ± 0.02% (IC50 values; 34, 220, 240, 58, 180, and 200 µg/mL, respectively). The observed biological potentials might be due to high phenolic and flavonoid content as detected in the extracts. The A. articulata might thus be considered an efficient therapeutic candidate and could further be investigated for other biological potentials along with the isolation of pure responsible ingredients.
