“…C. dependens has been studied to have a lot of medicinal uses. Okiei et al [16] evaluated the antimicrobial bioactivity of its stem extract and it was found active against a host of pathogenic organisms. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the dried leaves' methanolic extract on laboratory animals have also been reported [17].…”

“…Phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, and cardiac glycosides have been previously reported in EM (Edeoga et al 2005;Okiei et al 2009;Idu et al 2010;Sofowora 1982;Teke et al 2007;Mensah et al 2013). These constituents are known to have medicinal and varied physiological effects in humans (Sofowora 1993;Kubmarawa et al 2007;Addae-Mensah 1999;Okoegwale and Omefezi 2001;Okoegwale and Olumese 2001;Ogunlesi et al 2008).…”

In Southern Nigeria, the leaves of Emilia coccinea (Sims) G Dons are used traditionally for birth control. This study was therefore aimed at evaluating the activities of the methanolic leaf extract of Emilia coccinea (EM) on parameters that affect reproduction as well as the acute toxic effects of the plant using nonpregnant female mice models. Leaves of EM were extracted by maceration with 99.8% methanol. Oral acute toxicity profiles were examined. The effects of EM on female reproductive cycle were determined after oral treatment with EM at 1000 and 100 mg/kg/day daily for 6 days using stilbesterol (1 mg/kg/day) and normal saline as controls. The activities of EM (1000 mg/kg/day and 100 mg/kg/day p.o) on reproductive hormones and organs were also studied using estradiol valerat (100 mg/kg/day p.o), progesterone (10 mg/kg/day s.c.), and normal saline as controls. The extract did not induce any observable toxic effect after 24 h. At 1000 mg/kg, the extract significantly shortened the estrus cycle (P < 0.05) while prolonging the estrus phase which were comparable to that observed with stilbesterol. The extract also increased uterine weight and altered the histology of uterine and ovarian tissues. The female reproductive hormones were additionally altered at 1000 mg/kg and the effects were comparable to that of estradiol valerat such as to indicate possible antifertility effects. LC‐HRFTMS analysis showed 9 putatively identified compounds with pyrrolizidine alkaloid occurring at the highest intensity among the identified compounds. In conclusion, the leaf extracts of EM has been shown in this study to exhibit antiovulatory and estrogenic activities which would support the traditional use of the plant in Nigeria.

“…On the other hand, it was determined that Cuscuta reflexa showed an inhibition zone from 6 to 17 mm against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, P. vulgaris and Shigella sonnei, K. pneumoniae (Mateen et al, 2011). For Okiei, extracts of Cuscuta australis is effective on E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa while they do not display antimicrobial effect on other bacteria and fungus (Okiei et al, 2009).…”

“…While extracts of C. racemosa including ethanol has partially effective on S. aureus, the same material has no antibacterial and antifungal impact on E. coli, P. aeruginosa, Candida albicans and A. niger (Ferraz et al, 2010). While extracts of C. australis are effective on E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, the same extracts do not display an antimicrobial effect on E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa (Okiei et al, 2009).…”

Dodder is a plant used for the hepatitis treatment in new born infants in and around Mardin. The aim of this research to determine the antifungal and antibacterial effects of traditionally used dooder is known as a regional folk remedy. Thus and so, the efficacy of the drug has been demonstrated by the inclusion of natural therapeutic antimicrobial agents such as anti-inflammatory and wound healing, including infectious diseases. The antimicrobial effects of these plant was analyzed against bacteria, yeast and dermatopyta fungi by the agar disc diffusion method. The nominal concentration of the plant to prevent from the development of microorganisms was detected with the broth microdulitions method. It was determined that it had sensitive and moderately sensitive antimicrobial effect against all of microrganisms (13-19.66 mm/inhibition zone), growth of tested microrganisms were inhibited at 50-6.25 µL.It is though that this natural herbal resource can light the way for treatment of several diseases and direct the next studies because of having the potential for being used as a new antimicrobial agent.
