- When we deal with crude water extracts or MeOH extracts of several Medicinal plants, we often come across with this very problem i.e our drugs [extracts] are not exhibiting the antimicrobial activity [against chosen organism ] in low range concentration [10/20/40/80 mg/ml etc.]. In this circumstances researcher has to go for higher conc. to check its activity.
- The problem with the increasing higher concentration is the solubility of the drug, as the conc. increases it becomes more & more difficult to dissolve the dry extracts in water or methanol [specifically beyond 250 mg/ml].

Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous to plants and are mainly members of Ascomycota or their mitosporic fungi, and some taxa of Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, and Oomycota. These endophytic fungi reside within living tissues of the host and establish symbiotic relationships . The colonization of plants by these fungi varies considerably; and some medicinal plants are reported to harbor more endophytes . The endophytes associated with medicinal plants are known to acquire the potential to produce the active principles for which the host is known .They are a rich source of functional secondary metabolites that include flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, phenol, phenyl propanoids, quinines, indole derivatives, amines, alkaloids, amides, pyrrolizidines, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, lignans, isocoumarinated chloride derivatives, metabolites, phenolic derivatives , aliphatic compounds.
Normally it was observed that plant grow in cold climate had produced bigger amount of resveratrol. Whereas further research finding indicate a surprising conclusion that it is because, in cold climate the plants are more susceptible for fungal infection. Therefore plants produce resveratrol to prevent itself against the fungal infection.

Hi,
Sorry if any of you found this question a bit silly. But, May I know, if I am doing an investigation on medicinal plant and would want to know its antioxidant activity using DPPH scavenging activity (Note:the extract was prepared by dissolving 2g of dried plant in 20 ml solvent):
1) Is my crude extract was considered to have a concentration of 0.1g/ml (since in many DPPH protocols, need to have a serial concentration of samples tested)?
2) So, if it is considered as 0.1g/ml, then, my dilution should be from this point right?
3) Usually, what is the blank, the control used in DPPH scavenging activity? As I have seen some differences about the blank and the control, as well as equation used in literatures.
Thank you in advance

Hello, I'm very interested in mapping and managing the conservation of the Philippine traditional medicinal plants, in which I think is very helpful in the field of medicine for further analysis and development of medicine/drug. Using the applications of Remote Sensing and GIS, can someone tell me if its possible to model and map the availability of medicinal plants within our locality, if so what and where should I get the needed data? Or should I be more specific as to what medicinal plant will I make use of? This topic is really interesting for me, this would be my thesis proposal this sem. If anyone can suggest/recommend or give me an insight about this, I would be really glad. Thank you.

Numerous scientific reports cited plant extracts with potential antiviral activity and even anti-COVID-19? Why these findings are neglected?
I remember very well the warning released by the WHO to the developing countries at the beginning of this pandemic and its expectation that this pandemic will infect hundreds of millions of Africans because they lack facilities and good health services!!
Right now, the developed countries are within the top 10 most affected countries!!
Is that attributed to the fact that more than 80% of people from developing countries rely on medicinal plants (From WHO reports)????
The solvents I want to use are: Petroleum ether, Diethyl ether, n-butanol, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate, Acetone, Methanol and water.
A traditional medicine (e.g. Unani System of Medicine) has its own philosophy of treatment of a disease.

Cigugur Traditional Village have abundant natural resource potential for medicinal plants. The abundance of medicinal plant natural resources is characterized by the number of plants used by traditional people as medicinal plants, but there has not been much research on the ethnobotany of medicinal plants in the traditional village. This study aims to determine the types of medicinal plants used by the Cigugur traditional people. Ethnobotany data were collected by interview method. The selection of respondents was done by purposive sampling technique, , the number of respondents collected was 13
people of different professions and ages. There were 115 types of medicinal plants obtained, with a
utilization percentage of 35% for external wounds medicine, 29% for internal medicine, 14% for gastrointestinal medicine, 10% for excretion medicine, 9% for respiratory medicine and 4% for fever
medication. The Antanan plant (Centella asiatica) is a type of medicinal plant that is most widely known by the traditional people with an RFC index of 0.76. Knowledge of the types medicinal plants of the
traditional people influenced by age and professional factors.

If we extract the essential oil from a medicinal plant i.e., Ajwain seeds by hydro-distillation technique, it will yield about 2-3% essential oil. My question is about the remaining 97-98% portion of the ajwain seeds after extraction of essential oil. How we can utilize this major fraction in an efficient way?
Please guide me in this aspect.
Thanks and Regards
Most of the current existing plants are the result of an adaptation of plants to various factors, especially the environment, of course, there are small portions of species or cultivar plants produced by humans. This evolutionary and adaptation process results in various species of plants growing only in certain geographic environments, where could be owned by certain countries based on the territory. A country where certain plants have grown may claim that this particular endemic plant belongs to the concerned country. Please give an opinion, whether this claim can be justified or not? Is DNA barcoding needed to be legal evidence to support the claim concerning those certain plants?
