The antimicrobial properties and antioxidant enzyme activities of field-grown and in vitro-propagated plants of Digitalis trojana Ivanina (Helen of Troy foxglove), a perennial endemic plant species of Turkey, were compared. The field work was carried out in May and July 2014, and plant samples of D. trojana were collected from Kazdağı (Turkey). Propagation of D. trojana was achieved by culturing leaf explants on MS medium supplemented with 13.3 µM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.53 µM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The antimicrobial activity, plant lipid peroxidation levels and antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR)) activities were analyzed in 12-and 17-week-old in vitro-grown Digitalis plants collected in May and July from two different localities at 430 and 1173 m above sea level. Although the in vitro-propagated plants had very low antagonistic activities compared to field-grown plants, they exhibited remarkably similar antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ATCC 11230, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. There were no important differences between plants collected from the two localities (430 and 1173 m a.s.l.). Biochemical analysis showed that the antioxidant enzyme (SOD, APX, GR) activities of field-grown plants were higher than in vitro-grown plants. Also, the difference in altitude at which the plants were grown was apparently linked to decreases in antioxidant enzyme activities, except for POX in field-grown plants collected in July.

“…The most commonly studied is SOD, which indulges in the first line of defense. 51 The majorly important enzymes protecting plants from oxidative stress belong to a family of diverse SODs. 52 SOD is positioned in several cell compartments and catalyzes the disproportionation of two O 2 _ radicals to H 2 O 2 and O 2 .…”

“…Their mixture is extracted first, and then particular alkaloids are separated. 51 Various alkaloids are still utilized in medicine, regularly in the form of salts, containing the following: Quinine as antipyretics, antimalarial; Morphine as an analgesic; Reserpine as antihypertensive; Codeine as cough medicine, analgesic; Ergot alkaloids as a sympathomimetic, vasodilator, antihypertensive; Caffeine as Stimulant, diuretic, Adenosine receptor antagonist recent to indicate. Although, most of the recognized functions of alkaloids are related to protection.…”

Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC, it belongs to the family Asteraceae or Compositae, is conventionally used in ethnomedicine, and acquires various medicinal properties. This plant has been regarded as one of the widespread traditional vegetable salads in Malaysia, Bangladesh, and India. In addendum to its avail as a vegetable, the plant has been documented with several medicinal benefits in the extravagance of night blindness, epilepsy, malaria, asthma, burns, breast abscesses, and inflammatory diseases. On scrutinization of their pharmacological properties, it has been revealed that they possess numerous notable biological properties such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antianxiety, and anticataract, as well as anticonvulsant activities. Concrete evidence suggests the presence of potential phytochemicals in this plant with a wide range of unknown applications. In this current review, we discuss the phytochemicals present in the plant Emilia sonchifolia and emphasize the therapeutic and pharmacological activities reported so far concerning this plant.
