“…All tested phytochemicals are presented in all types of plant part extracts; however, abundance of these phytochemicals varies among plant parts extract types. Leaves showed abundant phytochemicals, which conforms to the previous observation (Natsir et al 2019). In contrast to the findings of Patel et al (2014) in ethanolic extract of leaf, we found moderate presence of glycosides in leaf extract.…”

Background: Moringa oleifera Lam. (Miracle tree) is traditionally used as food, vegetable and medicine in different parts of Nepal, to be precise in lowland Tarai. This study aimed at documenting the ethnobotanical knowledge regarding the use of M. oleifera, screening and testing the phytochemicals obtained from different parts (root, bark, leaves, and seeds) of the species and comparing the traditional and lab-based information for advancement in bioprospecting.Methods: Assessment of ethnobotanical use of M. oleifera was carried out using questionnaire survey and informal meetings while the laboratory experiments were performed to appraise the chemical constituents and their activities. The crude methanolic extract of different plant parts of M. oleifera was prepared by cold percolation method and then qualitative phytochemical screening was done following standard protocols. The antibacterial activities of different plant parts were tested using agar-well diffusion method against five different human pathogenic bacteria namely Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.Results: The plant is being used in 16 districts of lowland Tarai of Nepal for the treatment of 22 ailments including six potentially bacterial ailments: inflammation, tuberculosis, hysteria, diabetes, piles and tumors. Of the five useful plant parts, leaf, root, fruit/seed and bark were frequently harvested while the flower was least used. Analogous to the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemical compounds of the plant, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, and glycosides exhibited the strong antibacterial activities. The extract from bark showed the higher zone of inhibition followed by leaf and seed, revealing their high potentials for pharmacology. Bark showed the high antibacterial activity against B. subtilis followed by leaf, whereas seed shows its best against S. aureus and root against E. coli. Conclusions: M. oleifera is a promising medicinal plant based on our ethnobotanical survey and laboratory assessment. More research on its ethnomedicinal and biochemical capabilities is needed. Documentation and comparative assessment of traditional knowledge and phytochemical findings might lead a consented and conscientious avenue for bio-prospecting and novel drug discovery.

“…The effect of these extracts on the tested fungal species have been evident to lie in their bioactive constituents which include tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids phenols etc. (Anysor et al, 2011;Onegbu et al, 2020) The inhibitory properties of the extracts affect the growth of fungi by affecting their metabolism, which may have resulted in their inability to use the required substrate efficiently (Natsir et al, 2019). This is also in line with the statements by (Wang et al, 2016) who reviewed antimicrobial activity and bioactive compound of Moringa oleifera and (Leone et al, 2015) who reported on the antimicrobial characteristics of Moringa oleifera leaf.…”

Moringa oleifera leaves crude extract have been reported to have an invitro antifungal potential on various species of fungi. Therefore, this study was conducted in finding out the invitro effects of methanol and ethanol extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves on some fungal species (Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus stolonifer). The fungal species were isolated from contaminated bread on sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) using agar plate method and microscopic exanimation at Microbiology Laboratory, Federal University Dutse. Moringa oleifera leaves were collected from Federal University Dutse botanical garden, they were processed and extracted using Maceration method. The extracts were screened at varaying concentrations (25mg/ml, 50mg/ml, 100mg/ml, 150mg/ml and 200mg/ml) for their antifungal activity against the test organisms. Aspergillus flavus was more susceptible to the extracts with high mean zone of inhibition of 12.80 ± 0.20mm for methanolic extract and 11.40 ± 0.10mm for ethanolic extract compared to Rhizopus stolonifer with 9.66 ± 0.33mm for methanolic extract and 8.67 ± 0.10mm for ethanolic extract. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of the extract were determined with varying effectiveness of 75mg/ml for Aspergillus flavus and 100mg/ml for Rhizopus stolonifer. This study showed credence to the traditional use of Moringa oleifera leaves in the treatment of diseases caused by Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus stolonifer.

“…This shows that phenolic compounds from plant extracts contribute more than 50% to antioxidant activity. The results showed that the index antioxidant activities of Pandanus amaryllifolius by IC50 (110.57 ± 36.42 μg / mL) was categorized as moderate scale [54]. The levels of antioxidant power is divided into 4 levels, namely very strong (IC50 <50 μg / mL), strong (IC50 50-100 μg / mL), moderate (IC50 100-250 μg / mL, and weak (IC50 250-500 μg / mL) [55].…”

In fish farming, problems often occur due to disease attacks. Disease attack can result in decreased production and quality of fish. This is very detrimental to cultivators. Disease control is an important factor to be acknowledged. The use of herbs is an alternative for disease control that is relatively safe. Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb plants are known to contain several secondary metabolite compounds, namely achaloid, flavonoids, tannins and steroids which are antibacterial and antioxidant. The results of the study show that this plant species from the Pandanaceae family can be used for treatment and prevention of disease-infected fish. The purpose of this article is to describe the compounds contained in P. amaryllifolius and their benefits for fish health. P. amaryllifolius gives a positive effect on health of fish, it can be used to treat and prevent disease in fishes.
