... Of course, it has been reported that only aloe vera gel with high water content improves wound healing and increases new epithelialization, due to its ability to keep the wound moist. 33,34 However, plasma jet-treated aloe vera at a distance of 20 mm may be used as a basis in optimizing healing efficacy. Varying plasma jet treatment times may turn out to be the best treatment model. ...

... Methylcinnamate and methyl-p-coumarate play important roles in plant-insect interactions and are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. They have been identified in both aerial and underground tissues from monocots and dicots as well as from ferns (Konda and Kawazu, 1979;Schaefers and Herrmann, 1982;Williams and Whitten, 1983;Hooper et al., 1984;Bandara et al., 1988;Cambie et al., 1990;Garcia et al., 1990;Seifert and Unger, 1994;Hiraga et al., 1996;Daayf et al., 1997a;Odell et al., 1999;Wu et al., 1999;Dias et al., 2003;Bruni et al., 2004;Azah et al., 2005;bin Jantan et al., 2005). Methylcinnamate, a known component of the floral scent from various orchid species, acts as a preferred attractant for euglossine bees and is electrophysiologically active toward excised bee antennae (Dodson et al., 1969;Ackerman, 1989;Schiestl and Roubik, 2003;Eltz and Lunau, 2005). ...

... including antioxidant (Lopez et al., 2008;Nunes et al., 2016;Telichowska et al., 2021;Sureshkumar et al., 2021b), wound healing (Hayat et al., 2011;Carmignan et al., 2020), antimicrobial (Garcia et al., 2013;Alves et al., 2016;Yeganegi et al., 2018;Sureshkumar et al., 2021b), anti-ulcerogenic (Yesilada and Gurbuzb, 2010;Naghmana et al., 2021), antiproliferative (Grundemann et al., 2014;, hepatoprotective (Oh et al., 2004;Jin et al., 2014), anti-hypertensive (Adsersen and Adsersen, 1997), antidiabetic , 2000a, 2000bVieira et al., 2020), anti-inflammatory (Farinon et al., 2013;Shiba et al., 2020), anti-convulsant (Rassouli et al., 2009), anticancer (Mohammed et al., 2017), and antitumor effects (Jabeur et al., 2017). Particularly E. arvense, E. bogotense, E. fluviatile, E. gigantium, E. hyemale E. affine, E. myriochaetum, and E. ramosissimum are some of the important species in treating urinary tract infections with potential diuretic properties (Perez Gutierrez et al., 1985;Rodriguez et al., 1994;Lemus et al., 1996;Carneiro et al., 2014;Zhang et al., 2015;Boeing et al., 2021). The plant extracts which were tested for in vitro and in vivo toxicity studies also revealed that there was no noticeable cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity (Milovanovic et al., 2007;Tago et al., 2010;Uslu et al., 2013;Zhang et al., 2015;Albadri, 2016;Kour et al., 2017). ...

... Current data from both in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that it has many antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiseptic, antipruritic, and antinociceptive properties, as well as an immunomodulatory effect against sperm immobilization (Kaur & Kapoor, 2002;Kumar et al., 2007). Similarly, it has antispasmodic (García et al., 1997), antiparasitic (Giove Nakazawa, 1996), antimicrobial, antifungal (Maksimović et al., 2005, and antioxidant properties and is beneficial for people who suffer from peptic ulcers and heart disease (Laghari et al., 2011;Mousavi et al., 2005;Poonia & Upadhayay, 2015;Saini et al., 2019). Chenopodium album leaves are used to treat kidney and urinary tract disorders, to purify blood, to protect people from contracting roundworms and hookworms (anthelmintic), to induce laxation, and to treat liver diseases, splenomegaly, burns, and intestinal ulcers (Sarma et al., 2008). ...

... It is also utilized as an antipyretic and carminative medication [4]. Furthermore, Lemus et al. [5] reported that R. ulmifolius was used in traditional Chinese medicine for its hypoglycemic properties. Its leaves and young shoots have also been utilized for their beneficial properties, which include their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and spasmolytic effects on the gastrointestinal tract. ...
