“…Further, it was reported that zone of inhibition is directly proportional to the concentration and highest zone of inhibition was reported from the disc containing highest concentration of extract. The higher activity of ethanolic plant extracts against E. coli, S.aureus and B. subtilis indicates the presence of antimicrobial agents in the tested plants which are useful in curing various skin infections, as these organisms often cause various skin infections in human beings (Reddy et al, 2012). While antifungal assay also suggested the antifungal properties of these plant extracts and it caused reasonable zone of inhibition against the tested fungal cultures (Table 3, Figure 1).…”

“…Phytochemical screening was carried out according to Reddy et al (2012). Different crude extracts collected from Rota evaporator were qualitatively tested for the presence of various phytochemical constituents by using standard methods given by Brain & Turner (1975) and the extractive values were calculated by suggested protocols.…”

In present study phytochemical screening and antimicrobial potential of three Omani traditional medicinal plants i.e. Ajuga iva, Pteropyrum scoparium and Rhazya stricta was carried out. The information generated from study will be helpful in drug administration and developing commercial drug form these studied traditional plants. All three selected plants were air dried under natural condition and phytochemical screenings were carried out under laboratory conditions. Antimicrobial properties of the selected plants were carried out against the selected microorganisms i.e. Bacteria (E.coli, Staphylococcus and Bacillus species) and fungi (Trichoderma and Aspergillus). Further, selected plants were also used to test their effect on reducing diabetic incidence. Results of study revealed that selected plants have significant inhibitory effect on the multiplication of selected microorganisms. Similarly oral administration of plant extract also reduced the blood sugar level of the treated mice; it started reducing after 1 week of treatment and continued till 21 days of exposure as compared to control. Further, phytochemical screening of these plants indicated that these plants contain many of chemical substances which had important role in the reducing blood sugar level.

“…Numerous species of the genus Launaea are used in traditional medicine to treat conditions including stomach ache and skin conditions in addition to offering anticancer, insecticide and cytotoxic properties, effectively preventing CCl4-induced oxidative injuries in the liver and revealing the extract's therapeutic role against bacterial infections as a potent antimicrobial source (Reddy and Mishra, 2012;Khan et al, 2012;Zellagui et al, 2012).…”

Background: Launaea angustifolia (LAN) is a wild plant grown in several Arabian countries in West Asia and North Africa. Launaea is a polymorphic inter- and intraspecific genus that includes about 54 species and 10 subspecies and is classified into eight sections. This study illustrates the effects of Launaea angustifo LAN (LAn) extract on male and female body weight and blood serum enzymes alanine aminotransferase (LAT) and Alkaline phosphatase LAN, with the histology of liver and kidneys used as an animal model for humans. Methods: A quantity of 100 mg of the extract powder was dissolved in 1 L of DMSO. Experimental rats were divided into five groups with 10 in each group (A, B, C, D, E: 100, 50 and 10 mg/kg and positive control and negative control, respectively). Result: No significant differences were observed between the treated and control-group females. However, the mean male body weight showed some variation within the 5th group (E) given the negative control (DMSO) and all treated groups presented lower body weights than the normal control (C). Analysis of the enzymatic activities of (ALT) alanine aminotransferase showed that the females in treatment group A (100 mg) and B (50 mg) had higher levels of ALT than those of group D females (10 mg) at P less than 0.05 and females in group E at P less than 0.001). The histology section of the liver and kidney and the histological structure of the rat kidney also showed no differences in all groups. Launaea angustifolia extract (LAn) was found to be safe, especially in the histology of the liver and kidney and for ALT and ALP blood parameters.

“…This action may be due to the presence of carbohydrates, carbohydrate derivatives, gums, mucilages, pectin's, various forms of glycosides, tannins, phenolic compounds, lipids, fixed and volatile oils, resins, alkaloids etc. The significance of phytochemical analysis and its importance for the establishment of alternative medicine was expressed 2 . Honey has also been found to be effective in treating bacterial gastroenteritis in infants 3 .…”

ABSTRACT:The preliminary phytochemical evaluation and effect of Honey on Hematological parameters were investigated. Preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out to determine the presence of various bioactive constituents through different Tests. The Antimicrobial study of different Honey in combination with synergistics was carried out on selective microorganisms through well diffusion method. The effect of Honey on hemoglobin, WBC, Blood Sugar and weight loss was studied on swiss albino male mice under controlled conditions for 21 days. The Highest percentage of coumarins (+++), Resins (+++) were found in all the types of tested Honey among the different phytochemicals Screened. However the absence of carboxylic carbon and tannins were noticed during the study. The antimicrobial studies along with different synergistics shown significant results like Natural Omani Honey exerted 36mm zone of inhibition against S.aureus, while Turkish honey found to be more antimicrobial against P. aeruginosa (40mm). In the present study on Hematological and physiological parameters it was observed that increase in WBC % with greatest significance, among all the tested Honey with Natural Turkish Honey we found more increase of WBC % upto 30%. These findings provides the information about the traditional use of Honey along with various food additives triggers more beneficial in treating various human ailments like controlling from microbial diseases, improving WBC to increase immunity etc. further evaluation needs further evaluation and identification active principles are required for pharmacological preparations.
