“…Essential oils of fresh leaves of V. trifolia , which was extracted by hydro-distillation in a Clevenger’s apparatus, were evaluated against Vth instar larvae of Spilosoma obliqua , for insect growth regulatory activity [116]. According to Matsui et al the leaves of V. trifolia showed the significant inhibitory activity on interleukin (IL)-1-β, IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA synthesis and have a little effect on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) [117] and it acts on inflammatory activity related gene expression by inhibiting the NF-κB action [118].…”

Medicinal plants are a reservoir of biologically active compounds with therapeutic properties that over time have been reported and used by diverse groups of people for treatment of various diseases. This review covers 15 selected medicinal plants distributed in Myanmar, including Dalbergia cultrata, Eriosema chinense, Erythrina suberosa, Millettia pendula, Sesbania grandiflora, Tadehagi triquetrum, Andrographis echioides, Barleria cristata, Justicia gendarussa, Premna integrifolia, Vitex trifolia, Acacia pennata, Cassia auriculata, Croton oblongifolius and Glycomis pentaphylla. Investigation of the phytochemical constituents, biological and pharmacological activities of the selected medicinal plants is reported. This study aims at providing a collection of publications on the species of selected medicinal plants in Myanmar along with a critical review of the literature data. As a country, Myanmar appears to be a source of traditional drugs that have not yet been scientifically investigated. This review will be support for further investigations on the pharmacological activity of medicinal plant species in Myanmar.

“…Fruits of chaste tree have been traditionally used in the treatment of women complaints, including menstrual disorders (amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea), premenstrual dysphoric disorder, corpus luteum insufficiency, hyperprolactinemia, infertility, acne, menopause, disrupted lactation, cyclic breast pain, cyclical mastalgia, and inflammatory conditions, diarrhea, and flatulence [7,[9][10][11][12]. The insecticidal property of VAC essential oils against Spilosoma obliqua has also been reported [13]. Furthermore, VAC contains flavonoids [14], diterpenoids [15], and essential oils [16].…”

Objective: The aim of the current study is to determine the chemical composition and evaluate antibacterial activity of Vitex agnus-castus L. (VAC) essential oils against some bacteria causing nosocomial infections in the neonatal and intensive care rooms at the university hospital center of Fez Morocco. Methods: The phytochemical screening of essential oils was determined using gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry analysis. The antibacterial test was evaluated against Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria species (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus mirabilis) using disc diffusion method. Results: Twenty-nine components were identified in the fruits’ oil representing 93.1% of total oil. The major components in the fruits oil are 1,8-cineole (11.6%), α-thujene (9.3%), phyllocladene (8.2%), α-pinene (7.9%), caryophyllene (5.9%), and cubenol (5%). Furthermore, 28 components were identified in the leaf essential oil. The main component was caryophyllene (9.5%), followed by 1,8-cineole (8.7%), manoyl oxide (7.3%), eugenyl acetate (7.1%), phyllocladene (6.8%), and α-pinene (5.2%). Antibacterial activity of both oils showed a strong activity against nosocomial bacteria tested. Conclusion: Essential oils of Moroccan VAC could be exploited as natural drugs for bacteria, especially those who have acquired resistance to conventional antibiotics.

“…Insect growth-regulatory (IGR) activity of several plant products has been reported against many crop pests (Klein and Dunkel 2003;Mordue and Blackwell 1993;Singh and Bhathal 1994). Recently it has been reported that topical application of Vitex trifolia and V. agnuscastus essential oils to larvae of Spilosoma obliqua caused prolongation of the larval and pupal periods, mortality, adult deformity and decrease in adult emergence (Tandon et al 2008). IGR effects of methanolic extracts of roots and aerial parts of Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Cetaceae) against the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Cespedes et al 2005), and Adhatoda vasica leaf extract against Spodoptera littoralis (Sadek 2003), have been documented.…”

Treatment of sixth instar larvae and pupae of the polyphagous pest Spodoptera litura Fabr. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) with an acetone extract of leaves of Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera L. (Solanaceae), caused toxicity, molt disturbances, formation of larval-pupal, pupal-adult intermediates and adultoids. Our results suggest that W. somnifera acts as an insect growth regulator causing disruption of the endocrine mechanism regulating molting and metamorphosis.
