“…Tridax procumbens is a very promising species that produces secondary metabolites reported to have a variety of medicinal uses including among others, anti-anemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anesthetic properties [41]. Essential oils extracted from T. procumbens are reported to have insecticidal activity against Musca domestica, Culex quinquefasciatus, Dysdercus similis and Supella spp.…”

Most plant powders possess insecticidal properties and can be used to control insect pests on stored products. This study was conducted to evaluate insecticidal properties of Solanum melongena, Parkia biglobosa. Ipomoea batatas, Colocasia esculenta, Tridax procumbens and Terminalia catappa against Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, an insect pest of stored Phaseolus vulgaris L. The leaves powder of these plants were assessed for aduticidal and reproduction inhibition potential as well as effect on seed weight in a completely randomized design at three treatment concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 0 as the control. All the test plants investigated exhibited insecticidal activity against A. obtectus. Results showed a trend of variation in adult A. JEAI, 36(4): 1-12, 2019; Article no.JEAI.49045 2 obtectus mortality according to post-treatment days and plants powder concentrations. Results analysis revealed that at 14 days after treatment, T. catappa at 1.5% had the highest significant (P=0.05) mortality of 40.21±0.71 i . This was followed by S. melongena which had a similar effect of 39.41± 0.52 i at the same concentration (1.5%). The least significant mortality was observed in the control. At 0.5% T. procumbens, 0.5% Parkia biglobosa, 1.0% I. batatas and 1.0% C. esculenta, leaves powder had comparable effects. It was observed that the control had the highest number of progeny emergence of 181.33 ± 0.88 g after six weeks while T. catappa significantly (P=0.05) inhibited progeny at 1.5% followed by 1.5% S. melongena and 1.5% C. esculenta. Seeds of P. vulgaris treated with 1.5% T. catappa also had the least significant weight loss of 0.93 ± 0.17 g compared to the control which had the highest significant weight loss of 55.68 ± 0.79 g. Though all the plants studied caused significant increase in adult A. obtectus mortality, reduction in progeny emergence and P. vulgaris seed weight loss than the control. Terminalia catappa however, exhibited the best insecticidal potential. Terminalia catappa and Solanum melongena were very effective in inhibiting the reproduction and progeny emergence of A. obtectus, but increased adult mortality resulting in weight loss suggesting their potential in controlling A. obtectus on stored P. vulgaris.

“…Several studies have reported the smooth muscle/vaso-relaxant and antihypertensive potential of Tridax procumbens leaf extract (TPE) [ 3 - 5 ]. T. procumbens has been used to produce emollients, beverages, and skincare products, and the extensive use of the plant is associated with its protective properties and phytochemical constituents [ 6 ].…”

Preliminary Mechanistic Study on the Trachea Smooth Muscle Relaxant Activity of Aqueous Leaf Extract of Tridax Procumbens in Male Wistar Rats

Objectives Aqueous leaf extract of Tridax procumbens (ALETP) has potent relaxant activity. However, this relaxant activity in respiratory smooth muscle remains uninvestigated. This study investigates the effect of ALETP on the contractile activity of tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) in adult male Wistar rats. Methods Twelve male Wistar rats divided into 2 groups and were treated with either 100 mg/kg of ALETP (ALETP treatment group) or vehicle (distilled water; control group) through oral gavage for 4 weeks. Dose responses of TSM from the 2 groups to acetylcholine (10 –9 to 10 –5 M), phenylephrine (10 –9 to 10 –5 M), and potassium chloride (KCl; 10 –9 to 10 –4 M) were determined cumulatively. Furthermore, cumulative dose responses to acetylcholine (10 –9 to 10 –5 M) after pre-incubation of TSM with atropine (10 –5 M), L-NAME (10 –4 M), indomethacin (10 –4 M), and nifedipine (10 –4 M), were determined. Results Treatment with ALETP substantially inhibited TSM contraction stimulated by cumulative doses of acetylcholine, phenylephrine, and KCl. Furthermore, preincubation of TSM from the 2 groups in atropine significantly inhibited contractility in TSM. Incubation in L-NAME and indomethacin also significantly inhibited contractility in TSM of ALETP-treated rats compared to that of controls. Contractile activity of the TSM was also inhibited significantly with incubation in nifedipine in ALETP-treated rats. Conclusion ALETP enhanced relaxant activity in rat TSM primarily by blocking the L-type calcium channel and promoting endothelial nitric oxide release. ALETP contains agents that may be useful in disorders of the respiratory tract.

The Asteraceae is a large and widely spread family of vascular plants. The Plants of this family are known to have a variety of pharmacological activities. Verbesina alternifolia, Parthenium hysterophorus, Tridax procumbens is collected from Ajmer district and identified with taxonomical characters. Alkaloids (Wagner’s test, Mayer’s test, Hager’s test), Steroid (Libermann Burchard test, Salkowaski), Glycosides (Keller kilani test ), and Flavonoids (Lead Acetate test) are isolated from the Verbesina alternifolia,, Parthenium hysterophorus, Tridax procumbens plant material collected from Ajmer district.
