“…Natural herbalists use the different parts of MO, such as leaves, roots, flowers, fruit, and seeds, to obtain different extracts of Moringa. Among them, Moringa leaf extract is known for its rich contents of calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorous, and vitamins (vitamins A, D, C, E, ascorbic acid, and β-carotene), in addition to natural antioxidants and phytochemical flavonoids, such as polyphenol oxidase, oxidase, and catalase, which has great medicinal importance [20,[25][26][27]. Recent studies focused on the use of MO leaf meal in fish feeds as a cheap and locally available plant, with increasing protein contents [28].…”

The potential antioxidant property of Moringa oleifera (MO) has been the recent focus of an increased number of studies. However few studies investigated its antioxidative ability against sodium fluoride-induced redox balance breakdown in Oreochromis niloticus. Thus, this study evaluates the effects of MO against the oxidative stress induced by sub-chronic exposure to sodium fluoride (NaF). A total of 264 fish (40 ± 3 g BW) were used to calculate the 96 hr-LC50 of NaF and perform the sub-chronic exposure study. 96 hr-LC50 of NaF was calculated as (61 mg/L). The 1/10 dose of the calculated 96 hr-LC50 (6.1 mg/L) was used to complete the sub chronic exposure for eight weeks. Fish were divided into four groups (n = 51; three replicates each); control, non-treated group; NaF group (exposed to NaF 6.1 mg/L); MO group (treated with 1% MO of diet); and NaF+MO (exposed to NaF 6.1 mg/L and treated with 1% MO of diet). The results revealed that the sub-chronic exposure to NaF (6.1 mg/L) was substantially increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and decrease the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reduced (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the gills, liver, kidney, and muscle tissue in a time-dependent manner. In addition, a significant reduction in mRNA expression of GST in the liver was reported following NaF exposure. On the contrary, dietary supplementation of MO to NaF-exposed fish resulted in a significant reduction in MDA levels, and a significant elevation of SOD, CAT, GSH, GPx, and TAC activities in a time-dependent manner, in addition to significant elevation of GST mRNA expression in liver tissue. It could be concluded that a 1% MO (w/w) ration is a promising antioxidant plant that may successfully use to interfere with the oxidation processes induced by NaF in various tissues of Oreochromis niloticus.

“…The essential oil of seeds from Moringa oleífera showed a potent cytotoxic activity, with reduction of cell viability of the cancer cell lines HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, CACO-2 and L929 [13]. Microbial assays using seeds showed inhibition of the growth of the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus e Streptococcus mutans [14].…”

“…The crude aqueous extract from the leaves of OM has antiproliferative effects against cancerous esophageal cell line, due to increased lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation and induction of apoptosis in these cells [22]. A toothpaste was developed from the ethanoic extract of the leaves of OM that showed a potential effect against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans [14], Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio mimicus and Escherichia coli [23]. Leaf extracts tested against the cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and HCT-8, of breast and colorectal cancer, respectively, showed a significant decrease in the cellular population of both cell lines, due to increase induction of apoptosis [24].…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. is a plant native from India, but its distribution extends to all continents. Its leaves, flowers, pods and seeds are commonly used for food, mainly in Africa, due to its high nutritional value. With regard to medicine, M. oleifera demonstrates immeasurable potential in view of the various biological activities which are reported from its secondary compounds, such as alkaloids, tannins, flavonols, steroids, saponins, coumarins, quinones, resins, lectins among others. Based on this assumption, this review aims to expose the potential of Moringa oleifera in the period 2016-2018, in the use of its compounds for the synthesis of natural products due to its diverse biological activities. The results showed that the several parts of the plant may have different biological activities. The seeds have antibacterial activity with dental importance; activity in the prevention and deceleration of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease (ALS); anti-hypertrophic and anti-fibrotic effect, being beneficial for cardiac structure and function in hypertensive mice; anticancer activity; anti-inflammatory; and protection of neural cells. For the leaves were reported Antitumor activities; therapeutic efficacy against neurotoxicity; for insulin expression and decrease in the degree of insulitis; antimicrobial activity; reduction of myocardial damage and oxidative stress; treatment in atopic dermatitis; gastroprotective activity and improvement of mucus; hypocholesterolemic effect; and ability to prevent chromatolysis, distortion of cerebellar cortical cells and neurobehavioral deficit. For the other parts of the plant similar activities are described, however in less quantity. Thus, Moringa oleifera presents a new perspective on the synthesis of natural products, considering the range of biological activities described for a species, as well as the ease of obtaining and using its compounds.

“…Other studies examined the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Moringa oleifera against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and different fungal isolates Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus niger and found that all microorganisms tested were sensitive to the essential oil (Marrufo et al, 2013). Moreover, extracts of other parts of Moringa oleifera have been examined and control successfully bacterial growth of Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus (Elgamily et al, 2016).…”

The post-harvest green and blue molds caused by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively are considered universal diseases that lead to the spoilage of almost all kinds of mature citrus fruits, and cause significant losses in citrus fruits during storage and in the markets greater than what people believes. Several natural products were used to control plant pathogens as alternative of fungicides. Moringa oleifera as a natural product was used to treat several plant pathogens. Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, were isolated from mature spoiled orange (Citrus sinensis L.) and lemon (Citrus limon L.) fruits obtained from the local market of Haqle-Saudi Arabia and identified using morphological and physiological characteristics according to the key of Visagie, in addition to molecular methods based on ITS1 sequence analysis. The fungicidal activity of Moringa oleifera extract with different concentrations in controlling the growth of the isolates of Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum was determined in vitro. The control activity was highly dependent on Moringa oleifera extract concentration. For instance, undiluted Moringa oleifera extract showed the highest control activity with no growth as compared to the biotic control without treatment. Diluted Moringa oleifera extract 25% and 10% reduced the fungal growth to 46.54 and 29.88%, respectively, for Penicillium digitatum and 45.83 and 27.46%, respectively, for Penicillium italicum. The results of the recent study show that Moringa oleifera extract could successfully control Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, the disease agents of green and blue molds as an environmentally friendly product.
