“…Previous phytochemical studies on this plant have proved the occurrence of flavonoids, polysaccharides, carotenoids, amines, lactones, mineral elements, coumarins, and volatile oil. These compounds were used because of its antioxidant potential (Chiang et al 2004;Tomczykowa et al 2011). The plant composition and antioxidant activities of the Genus Bidens were assayed in Japan, Poland, Taiwan , and as a traditional medicine to prevent inflammation and cancer (Deba et al 2008;Tomczykowa et al 2011).…”

This study aimed to determine the total antioxidant capacity of the essential oil (EO) of leaves of Bidens pilosa (Linn. Var. Radita) used as protectant of stored grains in Northern Cameroon. EO was characterized by GC‐FID, antioxidant activity (AA) was determined by combining: evaluation of radical‐scavenging activity, reducing power (RP) and co‐oxidation of β‐carotene methods. Tests were carried out on crude and stored EO kept for two weeks at 31.48 ± 2.88°C and 58.56 ± 6.78% relative humidity. These conditions are the same as those of grain storage. GC analyses enabled the identification of 27 compounds, representing around 97.57% of the total oil contents. The major constituents of the EO were α‐pinene (14.7%), ε‐caryophyllene (13.5), and β‐ocimene (12.8%). The AA of the crude and stored EO are proportional to the concentrations and time of exposition. Exposed at the day light, this EO inhibit 77.4–18.69% for the DPPH system, 59.55–19.14% for RP method and 91.88–21.8% for β‐carotene‐linoleate model system, respectively, from crude and 15 days storage EO at 20 mg L−1. For the EC50 values, β‐carotene method is excellent and in the decreasing order of DPPH method, PR with 2.52 mg L−1, 2.77 mg L−1 and 4.13 mg L−1, respectively, for the crude oil. The ET50 were 1.59 days for the RP method and 2.88 days DPPH system and β‐carotene‐linoleate model system at 20 mg L−1. These results showed that the EO of B. pilosa leaves exhibits AA that might be an added value for this EO preventing stored products from pest attacks.

During a bioprospection study in the Brazilian Cerrado, samples of Bidens graveolens Mart., an endemic species, were investigated. Chemical and olfactive analyses were performed on the essential oil obtained from fresh leaves of B. graveolens collected in November 2013 (BG1) and May 2014 (BG2). A total of 60 compounds were identified in the essential oil extracted from fresh leaves, by hydrodistillation. The main constituents were identified as monoterpene hydrocarbons, ranging from 86.5% to 89.6%. Limonene was the major compound, accounting for 22.8% in BG1 and 47.7% in BG2. Thirty‐three–oxygenated monoterpenes were identified, comprising about 9% in both essential oils (EO). The attributes described by the panelists are in accordance to the sensorial profile. Myrcene, limonene, epoxy‐myrcene, and limonene dioxide were rated by all panelists. Present at a frequency of 83.3%, α‐pinene, β‐pinene, α‐pinene oxide, and carvone were picked out by five panelists. It is noteworthy that most compounds rated with the highest intensity score belonged to the oxygenated monoterpene class, considered the most expressive terpene class used in perfumery. In general, these compounds were described as presenting green, herb, spicy, fresh, and camphoraceus odors.

Biodiversity contributes significantly towards human livelihood and development and thus plays a predominant role in the well being of the global population. According to WHO reports, around 80 % of the global population still relies on botanical drugs; today several medicines owe their origin to medicinal plants. Natural substances have long served as sources of therapeutic drugs, where drugs including digitalis (from foxglove), ergotamine (from contaminated rye), quinine (from cinchona), and salicylates (willow bark) can be cited as some classical examples.Drug discovery from natural sources involve a multifaceted approach combining botanical, phytochemical, biological, and molecular techniques. Accordingly, medicinal-plant-based drug discovery still remains an important area, hitherto unexplored, where a systematic search may definitely provide important leads against various pharmacological targets.Ironically, the potential benefits of plant-based medicines have led to unscientific exploitation of the natural resources, a phenomenon that is being observed globally. This decline in biodiversity is largely the result of the rise in the global population, rapid and sometimes unplanned industrialization, indiscriminate deforestation, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and finally global climate change.Therefore, it is of utmost importance that plant biodiversity be preserved, to provide future structural diversity and lead compounds for the sustainable development of human civilization at large. This becomes even more important for developing nations, where well-planned bioprospecting coupled with nondestructive commercialization could help in the conservation of biodiversity, ultimately benefiting mankind in the long run.Based on these findings, the present review is an attempt to update our knowledge about the diverse therapeutic application of different plant products against various pharmacological targets including cancer, human brain, cardiovascular function, microbial infection, inflammation, pain, and many more.
