“…The leaves decoction of Vitex negundo is considered as tonic vermifuge and is given along with long pepper in catarrhal fever (Chandramu et al 2003). The acetone extract was found to possess insecticidal, ovicidal, feeding deterrence, growth inhibition, and morphogenetic effects against various life stages of a noxious lepidoteron insectpest, Spilarctia obliqua (Prajapati et al 2003). The methanolic extracts of roots and leaves of V. negundo were explored for possible antifilarial effect against Brugia malayi microfilariae (Sahare et al 2008).…”

The present study was based on assessments of the antiparasitic activities to determine the efficacies of acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane, and methanol dried leaf, flower, and seed extracts of Cassia auriculata L., Rhinacanthus nasutus KURZ., Solanum torvum Swartz, Terminalia chebula Retz., and Vitex negundo Linn. were tested against larvae of cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus Canestrini, 1887 (Acari: Ixodidae), adult of Haemaphysalis bispinosa Neumann, 1897 (Acarina: Ixodidae), hematophagous fly Hippobosca maculata Leach (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), nymph of goat-lice Damalinia caprae Gurlt (Trichodectidae), and adult sheep parasite Paramphistomum cervi Zeder, 1790 (Digenea: Paramphistomatidae). All plant extracts showed moderate parasitic effects after 24 h of exposure at 3,000 ppm; however, the highest parasite mortality was found in leaf ethyl acetate, flower methanol of C. auriculata, leaf and seed methanol of S. torvum, seed acetone of T. chebula, and leaf hexane extracts of V. negundo against the larvae of R. microplus (LC(50) = 335.48, 309.21, 297.43, 414.99, 167.20, and 611.67 ppm; LC(90) = 1571.58, 1111.82, 950.98, 1243.64, 595.31, and 1875.50 ppm), the leaf and flower methanol of R. nasutus, leaf and seed methanol of S. torvum, and seed methanol extracts of T. chebula against the nymph of D. caprae (LC(50) = 119.26,143.10,164.93,140.47, and 155.98 ppm; LC(90) = 356.77, 224.08, 546.20, 479.72, and 496.06 ppm), the leaf methanol of R. nasutus, leaf and seed methanol of S.torvum, and seed acetone of T. chebula against the adult of H. bispinosa (LC(50) = 333.15, 328.98, 312.28, and 186.46 ppm; LC(90) = 1056.07, 955.39, 946.63, and 590.76 ppm), the leaf methanol of C. auriculata, the leaf and flower methanol of R. nasutus, the leaf ethyl acetate of S. torvum against the H. maculata (LC(50) = 303.36, 177.21, 204.58, and 211.41 ppm; LC(90) = 939.90, 539.39, 599.43, and 651.90 ppm), and the leaf acetone of C. auriculata, the flower methanol of R. nasutus, the seed methanol of S. torvum, and the seed acetone of T. chebula were tested against the adult of P. cervi (LC(50) = 180.54, 168.59, 200.89, and 87.08 ppm; LC(90) = 597.51, 558.65, 690.37, and 433.85 ppm), respectively. Therefore, this study provides first report on the veterinary parasitic activity of plant extracts from Southern India.

Purpose: Traditional and complementary medicine has helped discover several medicinally important herbs, understand their mechanism of action and use them as drugs to treat serious medical conditions. In the current review, the role of one such herbal extract, Abelmoschus mochatus (AM) in CNS disorders will be detailed. Approach: Published articles from Pubmed and other sources were used to review and compile the CNS effects of AM.Findings: AM seed extract has shown potent anti-oxidant effects leading to its protective effect in neurological disorders. In addition, it also shows antidepressant, anxiolytic, antiepileptic and sedative properties in animal models. Conclusion: AM can be used as an adjuvant therapy in neurological and psychiatric conditions. Research into the precise mechanisms underlying the CNS effects of Abelmoschus moschatus will aid its use in myriad CNS conditions.
