Pharmaceutical, Ethnopharmacological, Phytochemical and Synthetic Importance of Genus Aerva: A Review

Abstract

Aerva plants are known widely for their exceptional medicinal uses. They have been employed conventionally for their medicinal properties by the common folk in several regions of the world. This indicates the efficacy of these remarkable herbs. They are also known for their multiple biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antilithiatic, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, anticancer, antihyperlipidemic and nephroprotective potential. These pharmacological actions are associated with the presence of valuable nutrients and biochemical compounds such as sterols/terpenes, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics and sugars. The proper utilization of the substances obtained from these plants can enhance the finesse of the capabilities of these plants. These plants are not only medicinally important but are significantly serving several other scientific purposes. In the prospect of medicinal, scientific uses and the bioavailability of precious chemicals of Aerva species, a comprehensive review is compiled, which focuses on the detailed profile of biochemical compounds, pharmacological functions and biological activities of Aerva plants. The review also discusses the synthetic importance and the toxicity of these plants. The study aims to compile comprehensively what is already done and what more is needed to be done in the future investigations related to Aerva species.

Ag, Au and ZrO2@reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites; Pd free catalysis of suzuki-miyaura coupling reactions

“…concentration of flowers from the medicinal plant Aerva javanica, a member of the genus Aerva and family Amaranthaceae was used to create all of the nanocomposites [24]. It is well known that A. javanica is rich in flavonoids [25], polyphenolics, and sugars [26] serving as reducing as well as stabilizing agents for nanocomposite fabrication. In the current investigation, the plant successfully assisted in the reduction of metal and graphene oxide in one step.…”
