“…Our study is in agreement with the earlier studies on endophytic fungi containing secondary metabolites with different level of antimicrobial activity (Teke et al, 2011). (Bhattacharya and Chandra, 2014). Antimosquito medicines derived from natural products were well received by the people due to easy biodegradation and less side effects (Rajasekaran and Duraikannan, 2012).…”

“…Euphorbiaceae) is a medicinal plant having multifarious uses. Different parts of this plant has been reported to show cytotoxic (Joshi et al, 2011a), antitumor (Joshi et al, 2011b), antifertility (Joshi and Gopal, 2011), antimicrobial, larvicidal (Bhattacharya and Chandra, 2014), and antidiabetic (Farook and Atlee, 2011). Even though T. involucrata have been extensively studied for various medicinal properties, not even a single report was available on theisolation and biological properties of endophytes associated with this plant.…”

Endophytic fungi are one of the untapped resources of therapeutic compounds for various diseases. The present study focused on the antimicrobial as well as larvicidal activity of ethyl acetate extract of endophytic fungi isolated from Tragia involucrata. The ethyl acetate extract of Penicillium citrinum CGJ-C1 (GenBank No.KT780618), Penicillium citrinum CGJ-C2 (KP739821), Cladosporium sp. (KP739822), and Cryptendoxyla hypophloia CGJ-D2 (KT780619) was subjected to antimicrobial activity against a panel of microorganisms by disc diffusion method, larvicidal activity against Culex quinquefasciatus. All the extracts showed significant antimicrobial activity against the tested organisms ranging from 8±0.32 to 13±2.11. The extent of activity was comparable to the standard drugs. The larvicidal potential of the endophytes was superior to T.involucrata extract. The larvicidal activity was found to be dose and time dependent with LC50 value ranging from 4.25- 158.06ppm after 24hrs of treatment. This is the first report on the bioactivity of the endophytes isolated from T.involucrata. Further studies on the bio-guided isolation of lead compound will benefit the people suffering from microbe’s related diseases.

“…Insecticide from botanical sources may be suitable substitute for synthetic insecticides because they are more safe, degradable and easily available (Hossain et al, 2009;Mallick et al, 2015;. Different plants from different families have been reported in many reputed journals for mosquito larvicidal (Haldar et al, 2011;Singha and Chandra, 2011;Singh Ray et al, 2014;Chandra 2013, 2015;Mondal et al, 2016), pupicidal, repellent, adulticidal and smoke toxic (Singha et al, 2011b;Rawani et al, 2012;Bhattacharya and Chandra, 2014) properties. Larval control is easier than control of adults due to their low mobility and confinement to water bodies.…”

As resistance against synthetic insecticides has been increasing day by day; mosquito control becomes a great problem around the world. So it is crucial to manage the vector population to overcome the mosquito borne diseases. The present study was executed to assess the larvicidal activities of Cleistanthus patulus leaf extract against filarial vector Culex quinquefasciatus. Crude extracts of C. patulus mature leaf with different concentration gradients ranging from 1000-5000 ppm were applied against all the larval instars of Cx. quinquefasciatus. Three solvent extractives namely petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and acetone were applied in different graded concentrations against all the larval instars. Through log-probit analysis LC 50 and LC 90 values were determined. Regression and ANOVA analyses were done for further statistical justification. Activities of bioactive fraction against the non-target organism were carried out in laboratory condition. In addition to these, a qualitative phytochemical analysis of leaf extract was also done. The highest mortality was observed at 5000 ppm concentration of crude extract against all the larval instars after 72 hours of exposure. Among three used solvent extracts ethyl acetate exhibited the best larvicidal potentiality against target mosquito. 1 st instar larvae showed 100% mortality at 250 ppm concentration after 48 hours of exposure. Preliminary qualitative phytochemicals analyses of leaf extract revealed the presence of tannin, steroid and flavonoid as secondary metabolites. Non-target organism was found non-responsive to both extracts. Above experiment indicates that the leaf of C. patulus has the prospective to be used as larvicidal agent against Cx. quinquefasciatus.

“…This study revealed the optimum anticancer activity of these extracts on Ehrlich's Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) model and demonstrated the involvement of antioxidant property of T. involucrata in the anticancer activity (Jayaprasad et al, 2012). A recent study by Bhattacharya and Chandra (2014) demonstrated the mosquitocidal activity of T. involucrata root extracts against Culex quinquefasciatus (female mosquito) in Phagodeterrence test. In that study, they used different extracts of T. involucrata root like chloroform: methanol (1:1 v/v), petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v), benzene: ethyl acetate (1:1 v/v), acetone: absolute alcohol (1:1 v/v).…”

It was found that chloroform: methanol (1:1 v/v) extract showed a significant mosquitocidal activity (Bhattacharya and Chandra, 2014). Furthermore, CNS depressant activity of methanolic extract of T. involucrata (MTI) leaf was reported using a battery of neuropharmacological studies in rodents which demonstrated a significant reduction in spontaneous locomotor activity, a significant potentiation of pentobarbitone-induced sleep, a significant depression of body temperature and suppression of the aggressive behavior pattern (Chaudhuri et al, 2002).…”

Background: Tragia belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae which contains about 152 species. Interestingly, most of the earlier investigations have been done using only five Tragia species, namely, Tragia involucrata, Tragia cannabina, Tragia spathulata, Tragia plukenetii, and Tragia benthamii. The objective of the present review is to compile the phytochemical, pharmacological and biological studies of the selected five Tragia species reported in the literature. Methods: The reported data/information was retrieved mainly from the online databases of PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Botanical Survey of India. Results: The present review elaborated the phytochemical, pharmacological and biological properties of the selected five Tragia species obtained from recent literature. Conclusion:This review provides a basis for future investigation of Tragia species and, especially for those species that have not been explored for biological and pharmacological activities.
