“…The DPPH and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities of the volatile extract from T. procumbens shoot showed significant inhibitory activities with halfmaximal effective concentration EC50 values of 47.71 µg/mL and 106.74 µg/mL, respectively when compared to those of L. sativum volatile extract as presented in Table 3 with EC50 values of 48.63 µg/mL and 134.48 µg/mL, respectively. The EC50 values of T. procumbens can be compare with the work done by Singh et al 34 which reported similar values for DPPH inhibitory activities of ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts of T. procumbens leaves with IC50 values of 72.06, 96.28 and 117.89 µg/mL, respectively. Additionally, in the work of Sonawane et al, 35 the alpha amylase inhibitory activities of petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol extracts of T. procumbens plant were evaluated and their IC50 values ranging between 10 -100 µg/mL are similar to those in this study.…”

The plant is used extensively in traditional medicines for treatment of respiratory tract disease such as asthma, bronchitis, cough, chest pain and pneumonia and as well as in the treatment of dysentery and stomachache. 4,5 The seeds are used as diuretic, tonic, demulcent and carminative, also to cure throat diseases, uterine tumor, nasal polyps and breast cancer. 1 Literature search have shown that extensive research has been done on the seeds of the plant in comparison to other parts of the plant. The oil and extracts from the seeds are proven to have various pharmacological activities such as wound healing and anti-inflammatory effect that causes a significant reduction of wound diameter and a significant decline of TNF-α and MMP-9 levels in skin homogenate. 6 The seed extracts were also reported to have antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida albicans. 7,8,9 Antioxidant activity 9 and antitrypanocidal activity against Trypanosoma evansi. 10 Cytotoxicity effect against Jurkat E6-1 cancer cells 11 was also reported and as well as a potent hypoglycemic effect that suppresses blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, and urea level in diabetic rats. 12 Additionally, organic extract from the leaves of the plant also showed cytotoxity effect and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus.

“…A petroleum ether extract from flowers protects cowpea seeds from damage by the bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus [43]. The leaves of T. procumbens possess alkaloids, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids (catechin and flavones), saponins, glycosides, carbohydrates, carotenoids, hydroxycinnamates, phytosterols, moderate benzoic acid derivatives and lignans, [44,45,46].…”

Most plant powders possess insecticidal properties and can be used to control insect pests on stored products. This study was conducted to evaluate insecticidal properties of Solanum melongena, Parkia biglobosa. Ipomoea batatas, Colocasia esculenta, Tridax procumbens and Terminalia catappa against Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, an insect pest of stored Phaseolus vulgaris L. The leaves powder of these plants were assessed for aduticidal and reproduction inhibition potential as well as effect on seed weight in a completely randomized design at three treatment concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 0 as the control. All the test plants investigated exhibited insecticidal activity against A. obtectus. Results showed a trend of variation in adult A. JEAI, 36(4): 1-12, 2019; Article no.JEAI.49045 2 obtectus mortality according to post-treatment days and plants powder concentrations. Results analysis revealed that at 14 days after treatment, T. catappa at 1.5% had the highest significant (P=0.05) mortality of 40.21±0.71 i . This was followed by S. melongena which had a similar effect of 39.41± 0.52 i at the same concentration (1.5%). The least significant mortality was observed in the control. At 0.5% T. procumbens, 0.5% Parkia biglobosa, 1.0% I. batatas and 1.0% C. esculenta, leaves powder had comparable effects. It was observed that the control had the highest number of progeny emergence of 181.33 ± 0.88 g after six weeks while T. catappa significantly (P=0.05) inhibited progeny at 1.5% followed by 1.5% S. melongena and 1.5% C. esculenta. Seeds of P. vulgaris treated with 1.5% T. catappa also had the least significant weight loss of 0.93 ± 0.17 g compared to the control which had the highest significant weight loss of 55.68 ± 0.79 g. Though all the plants studied caused significant increase in adult A. obtectus mortality, reduction in progeny emergence and P. vulgaris seed weight loss than the control. Terminalia catappa however, exhibited the best insecticidal potential. Terminalia catappa and Solanum melongena were very effective in inhibiting the reproduction and progeny emergence of A. obtectus, but increased adult mortality resulting in weight loss suggesting their potential in controlling A. obtectus on stored P. vulgaris.

“…The TFC in methanol extract of M. micrantha was 2.07± 0.03 mg/g QE [26]. The TFC of T. procumbens was highest (61.28± 1.02 mg/g QE) in methanol extract, followed by methanol extract (55.43± 0.58 mg/g QE) and lowest in aqueous extract (42.17± 1.12 mg/g QE) [27]. In another study, TFC of T. procumbens leaves ranges from 25 to 50 mg/g QE [28].…”

Flavonoid and phenolics are secondary metabolites produced by plants in response to harsh environmental conditions. Light is one of the most important factor that affects their production. Mikania micrantha and Tridax procumbens are plants belonging to Asteraceae family, and they have bioactivity due to their flavonoid and phenolic contents. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of varying light intensities on the total flavonoid and total phenolic contents of M. micrantha and T. procumbens using three solvents (ethanol, methanol and water). Total flavonoid contents was determined based on the aluminium chloride colorimetry method while total phenolic contents was determined based on the folinchiocalteau reagent. The results obtained in the study shows that ethanol recovers more flavonoid and phenolic than the other solvents (P < 0.05). Besides, T. procumbens had more flavonoid and phenolic content compared to M. micrantha (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, the flavonoid and phenolic contents recovered from sun exposed plants was more than that recovered from shaded plants (P < 0.05). This leads to a conclusion that high light intensity can increase the concentration of flavonoid and phenolic of M. micrantha and T. procumbens.
