“…Black horehound also contains diterpenes, such as marubiin, as well as caffeic and ferulic acid derivatives (Gruenwald et al, 1998). Potent antioxidant activity has reported in infusions of the aerial parts (Citoglu et al, 2004;Vrchovska et al, 2007). We prepared several types of extractions of the different parts of the plant, and found that an aqueous extraction of the aerial parts, similar to that prepared in the folk medical tradition, was the most effective at inhibiting both biofilm growth and adherence.…”

One-third of botanical remedies from southern Italy are used to treat skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). Staphylococcus aureus, a common cause of SSTI, has generated increasing concern due to drug resistance. Many plants possess antimicrobial agents and provide effective remedies for SSTI. Our aim was to investigate plants from different ethnobotanical usage groups for inhibition of growth and biofilms in methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).Three groups were assessed: plant remedies for SSTI, plant remedies not involving the skin, and plants with no ethnomedical application. We screened 168 extracts, representing 104 botanical species, for activity against MRSA (ATCC 33593). We employed broth dilution methods to determine the MIC after 18 hours growth using an optical density (OD 600nm ) reading. Anti-biofilm effects were assessed by growing biofilms for 40 hours, then fixing and staining with crystal violet. After washing, 10% Tween 80 was added and OD 570nm readings were taken.Extracts from 10 plants exhibited an IC 50 ≤32 μg/ml for biofilm inhibition: Lonicera alpigena, Castanea sativa, Juglans regia, Ballota nigra, Rosmarinus officinalis, Leopoldia comosa, Malva sylvestris, Cyclamen hederifolium, Rosa canina, and Rubus ulmifolius. Limited bacteriostatic activity was evident. The anti-biofilm activity of medicinal plants was significantly greater than plants without any ethnomedical applications.

ethnomedicinal survey of a Tashelhitspeaking community in the High Atlas, Morocco, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, http://dx.doi.org/10. 1016/j.jep.2016.05.009 This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

ABSTRACT Ethnopharmacological relevanceTraditional knowledge about medicinal plants from a poorly studied region, the High Atlas in Morocco, is reported here for the first time; this permits consideration of efficacy and safety of current practices whilst highlighting species previously not known to have traditional medicinal use. Aim of the studyOur study aims to document local medicinal plant knowledge among Tashelhit speaking communities through ethnobotanical survey, identifying preferred species and new medicinal plant citations and illuminating the relationship between emic and etic ailment classifications. Materials and methodsEthnobotanical data were collected using standard methods and with prior informed consent obtained before all interactions, data were characterized using descriptive indices and medicinal plants and healing strategies relevant to local livelihoods were identified.Results 151 vernacular names corresponding to 159 botanical species were found to be used to treat 36 folk ailments grouped in 14 biomedical use categories. Thirty-five (22%) are new medicinal plant records in Morocco, and 26 described as used for the first time anywhere. Fidelity levels (FL) revealed low specificity in plant use, particularly for the most commonly reported plants. Most plants are used in mixtures. Plant use is driven by local concepts of disease, including "hot" and "cold" classification and beliefs in supernatural forces. 2 ConclusionLocal medicinal plant knowledge is rich in the High Atlas, where local populations still rely on medicinal plants for healthcare. We found experimental evidence of safe and effective use of medicinal plants in the High Atlas; but we highlight the use of eight poisonous species.

“…Another study reported that Ballota acetabulosa is used for the treatment of haemorrhoids as infusion in folk medicine (12). The antimicrobial (20) and antioxidant activities (21) of all Ballota species growing in Turkey was recently reported as well as the antifungal activities of some flavonoids isolated from Ballota glandulosissima (22). The main components of the Ballota species are flavonoids, labdane diterpenoids and phenylpropanoids (26).…”

“…In our previous studies, three diterpenoids (hispanolone, ballonigrine, dehydrohispanolone) and ten flavonoids (kumatakenin, pachypodol, 5-hydroxy-7,3',4'-trimethoxyflavone, velutin, corymbosin, 5-hydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone, retusin, 5-hydroxy-7,4'-dimethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone, ladanein) were isolated, chemically characterized and analysed by HPLC in different Ballota species (15,22,(25)(26)(27). This paper is a part of our on-going studies on this genus (15,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). The aim of this work is to assess the antilisterial activities of all Ballota species growing in Turkey.…”
