“…Melilotus officinalis contains coumarins, melilotin, phenolic acids, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, volatile oils, lipids, triterpenes, carbohydrates, sugar, anthraquinone glycosides, mucilage, tannin, bishydroxycoumarin, choline, alcohols, and uric acid[ 107 ]. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, antiinflammatory, neural, protective, sedative, anxiolytic, smooth muscle relaxant and hypotensive activities are among the many pharmacological effects of this plant[ 108 ]. The effects of 0.25% coumarin M. officinalis extract on acute inflammation produced by the oil of turpentine in male rabbits were investigated.…”

BACKGROUND Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a serious health issue of diabetes mellitus that affects innumerable people worldwide. Management and treatment of this complication are challenging, especially for those whose immune system is weak. AIM To discuss the plants and their parts used to heal DFU, along with the mode of their administration in diabetic patients. METHODS The original articles on “the plants for the treatment of DFU” studied in clinical cases only were obtained from various bibliographic databases using different keywords. RESULTS The search resulted in 22 clinical cases records with 20 medicinal plants belonging to 17 families on 1553 subjects. The fruits and leaves were the most preferentially used parts for DFU treatment, regardless of whether they were being administered orally or applied topically. Of the 20 medicinal plants, 19 reported their effectiveness in increasing angiogenesis, epithelialization, and granulation, thus hastening the wound-healing process. The efficacy of these botanicals might be attributed to their major bioactive compounds, such as actinidin and ascorbic acid (in Actinidia deliciosa ), 7-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-galactin (in Ageratina pichinchensis ), omega-3-fatty acid (in Linum usitatissimum ), isoquercetin (in Melilotus officinalis ), anthocyanins (in Myrtus communis ), and plantamajoside (in Plantago major ). CONCLUSION The validation of mechanisms of action underlying these phytocompounds contributing to the management of DFU can aid in our better understanding of creating efficient treatment options for DFU and its associated problems.

Sustainable Applications of Endophytic Bacteria and Their Physiological/Biochemical Roles on Medicinal and Herbal Plants: Review

Bacterial endophytes reside within the tissues of living plant species without causing any harm or disease to their hosts. These endophytes can be isolated, identified, characterized, and used as biofertilizers. Moreover, bacterial endophytes increase the plants’ resistance against diseases, pests, and parasites, and are a promising source of pharmaceutically important bioactives. For instance, the production of antibiotics, auxins, biosurfactants, cytokinin’s, ethylene, enzymes, gibberellins, nitric oxide organic acids, osmolytes, and siderophores is accredited to the existence of various bacterial strains. Thus, this manuscript intends to review the sustainable applications of endophytic bacteria to promote the growth, development, and chemical integrity of medicinal and herbal plants, as well as their role in plant physiology. The study of the importance of bacterial endophytes in the suppression of diseases in medicinal and herbal plants is crucial and a promising area of future investigation.

“…Oskoueian et al (2011) stated that the borage plant contains alkaloids, tannins, saponins and coumarins. For the Melilotus plant, it is an herbaceous plant that belongs to the family Fabeaceae (Anwer et al, 2008). Melilotus plant also has the advantage of having antioxidant activity and this biological activity is due to its high content of phenols and flavonoids (Sheikh, 2017).…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of aqueous extracts of Borage flowers and (Borago officinalis) and the air parts of Melilotus (Melilotus officinalis) on some egg quality traits. A total number of 180 Lohmann Brown laying hens at 56 weeks of age were randomly distributed into four groups; each group was sub-divided into nine replicates (5 hens/ replicates). The first group (C) received drinking water without additives and consider as control, the second group (T1) received drinking water supplemented with the aqueous extract of flowers of Borage plant (BF) at level 4 ml / liter of water, the third group (T2) received drinking water supplemented with the aqueous extract for air parts of Melilotus plants (MAP) at level 4 ml / liter of water, and the forth group (T3) received drinking water included the mixture of extracts of Borage and Melilotus at level 4 ml for each/liter of water. The experiment included the following traits: weights and heights of yolk and albumen, shell weight and thickness and Haugh unit. The results of this study showed that there was a tendency to improvement in some egg quality traits by using aqueous extracts of Borage and Melilotus plants at level 4 ml for each /liter of drinking water for Lohmann Brown laying hens. However, the differences were not significant among all groups. It is recommended to conduct other studies on these two plants and use it in different forms and levels.
