“…5,5,23,25,26 Altogether, the present status of vector control research urges us to find out cost-effective, environmentfriendly, target-specific and biodegradable natural insecticides against Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. 8,24 Previously, 15 reported on the entomocidal potential of five different plants such as Achyranthes aspera, Chenopodium murale, Trianthema portulacastrum, Convulvulus arvensis, and Tribulus terrestris against Culex quinquefasciatus. In agreement with their findings, 20 reported the extensive larvicidal potential of Plectranthus amboinicus with an LC50 of 147.40 mg/L.…”

Introduction: Plant-based knowledge has been used for generations for personal protection from various mosquito species. The notion of applying such traditional perspectives in vector control research has received extensive attention in recent years. Unlike other common patterns, the present investigation has tried to explore the augmented production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to Stachytarpheta jamaicensis exposure with special inference on larvicidal potential, mode of action of phytochemical compounds, and oxidative stress. Methods: The larvicidal potential was determined as per the WHO protocol. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to determine the excessive production of ROS. GC-MS was employed to characterise the phytochemical constituents. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS version 24.0.0. Result: The acetone extract has been found to exhibit a maximum range of toxicity in terms of larvicidal potential and reactive oxygen species formation. Among the 40 phytochemical elements characterised, Cyclopropane, 1,1,2,2-Tetramethyl; Phenyl-Acetonitrile; Pyranone; Tetradecene; Neophytadiene; Mome Inositol; Monocrotaline; and Squalene may be responsible for the augmented production of ROS in the Culex quinquefasciatus. Conclusion: The phytochemical elements in Stachytarpheta jamaicensis displayed extensive toxicity and inhibited the normal development of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes by augmented production of reactive oxygen species, indicating its prominent role in oxidative stress.

Aims: The empirical use of jerangau rhizomes for treating pneumonia in Indonesia should be verified through scientific research. Study design: The experimental use of Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) bacteria and jerangau (Acorus calamus L.) rhizome extract (JRE). Place Study: Pharmacy Department, Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar, Indonesia. Methodology: Antibacterial activity was assessed using liquid dilution and agar diffusion methods. Results: The antibacterial activity of JRE against SP was determined to be effective at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8% w/v. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum kill concentration (MKC) were found to be 0.5% and 1% in HJ, >2.5% at EJ, and 0.25% and 0.5% at EAJ. Conclusion: JRE has demonstrated antibacterial properties against SP in vitro.
