“…Many plant components are available without a prescription from herbal distributors and natural-food stores, and selfadministration of these drugs is common even though their purity is often questionable [22]. Chemical analysis of medicinal plants has uncovered various bioactive chemicals, including saponins, tannins, and alkaloids [1,23]. Also, flavonoids, terpenoids, and alkaloids are the primary constituents of phytochemicals in the plant kingdom [24].…”

Given the potential adverse effects of chemical drugs, utilizing natural products with diverse therapeutic and antimicrobial compounds is advisable. Countries can use indigenous flora from their regions in vegetation for medicinal purposes. Several nations exhibit distinctive indigenous flora owing to their geographic positioning and climatic conditions. These plants have been the subject of our research, which has explored their antimicrobial properties against fungi, parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Studies have investigated the therapeutic and antimicrobial effects of plants and their bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Among them are alkaloids, a diverse class of naturally occurring chemicals, such as tropanes, terpenoids, and steroids. Some of these medicinal plants have been found to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in addition to their antimicrobial effects. This chapter explores the antimicrobial potential of alkaloids found in medicinal plants.

Background: Human existence is becoming more stressful these days, most likely for the sake of improving one's lifestyle and fulfilling one's aspirations and needs. Mental depression is commonly caused by a hard existence. Mental depression is the most frequent affective disease of mood, rather than mental problems, and it affects millions of individuals worldwide. In clinical research, depression is the second most frequent chronic disease. A variety of herbal medications thought to have antidepressant-like effects have been reported in ancient pharmacopoeias from around the world. These provide a number of prospective chemicals that could be developed into modern mental medications while also causing no noticeable negative effects. Objective: The review is written with the goal of providing herbal treatment and comprehensive information about depression. Methods: Plants and plant formulations which were found effective inthe treatment of depression are thoroughly reviewed.The antidepressant efficacies of medicinal plants, as well as their dosages, are investigated using experimental models.The review article contains 140 antidepressant plants, 11 commercial formulations, and 25 active/isolated ingredients, as well as their chemical structure, which has been thoroughly reviewed with antidepressant activity after studying 283 references. Results: Literature revealed that a variety of medicinal plants are effective for the treatment of depression such as- Hypericum perforatum,Catha edulis, Tinospora cordifolia, Curcuma longa, Ferula foetida, Rhodio larosea, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Crocus sativus, Ocimum basilicum, Emblica officinalis. Conclusion: Potential compounds isolated from medicinal plants for the treatment of depression disorders need to be established.Herbal plant research could aid in this endeavour.
