“…Plantaginaceae family includes herbaceous perennial plants known for centuries as curative remedies to a broad spectrum of diseases including inflammations of respiratory tract, digestive problems, and skin irritations [11,12]. Their beneficial properties were assumed to be due to the considerable content of polysaccharides, polyphenols, and iridoids [11][12][13]. In this study we use three of the most widespread and traditionally used Plantago species in Balkan region (Plantago major L., Plantago media L. and Plantago lanceolata L.) as sources of polysaccharides and polyphenols.…”

The leaves of Plantago species have been known as a rich source of polysaccharides, polyphenols, and iridoids. In the recent years, some authors have examined the relative influence of carbohydrate compositions and polyphenols on their antioxidant and prebiotic activity. In this study enzymatic hydrolysis of Plantago major, Plantago lanceolata, and Plantago media leaves with hemicellulase and xylanase was carried out. The chemical composition of the enzyme‐derived hydrolysis products was determined. Their antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2,2‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl‐hydrazyl‐hydrate, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity assays. The utilization of the carbohydrate complex from the obtained hydrolysates to stimulate the production of certain glycohydrolases from Lactobacillus plantarum probiotic strains was investigated. The HPLC analysis of the hydrolysis products showed the presence of galactose and arabinose in 1:3 and 1:4 ratios. The highest concentration of total sugars was determined in P. major hydrolysates with hemicellulase (386.71 mg/g dry weight). The antioxidant activity according to the three methods was the highest in P. media hydrolysates, which correlated with their total phenolic concentration. L. plantarum S27 showed the highest values of α‐galactosidase activity at the 24‐h fermentation process when it was cultivated in a broth with the presence of P. major hydrolysates with hemicellulase and xylanase (0.129 U/mg and 0.133 U/mg, respectively).

“…That study concluded that the growth of young, parasitized lambs is not penalized as a result of parasitism when grazing on chicory (Athanasiadou et al, 2007). Plantain, besides its high nutritional quality, has resulted in lower egg output of parasitic nematodes in calves (Sievers and Nannig, 2006) and presents distinct pharmacological value through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing activities from bioactive compounds such as phenylpropanoid glycosides, iridoids, triterpenes, flavonoids and phenolic acids (Goncalves and Romano, 2016). Thus, parasitized animals could maintain more effective resistance to GIN as a result of a reinforced immune system or a better protected gastrointestinal tract or through direct anthelmintic activity following the consumption of bioactive forages (Athanasiadou et al, 2008).…”

“…[17]. The phytochemical analysis of Plantago species has revealed the presence of alcaloids, phenylpropanoid glycosides, iridoids, triterpenes, flavonoids and phenolic acids as the main bioactive compounds present in the aerial parts [18]- [20]. The antibacterial properties of Plantago major depends on kind of extraction method.…”

The present study was designed to evaluate antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolated from liquid pig manure and to determine in vitro the antibacterial activity of nine traditional Latvian medical plants against various profiles of isolated antibiotic resistant E.coli. The commensal E.coli and extended-spectrum Beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E.coli isolates were tested to 12 antibiotics by the disk diffusion method. The in vitro antimicrobial activities of extracts of plants were evaluated, using well diffusion technique. Results showed that overall 72% of the E.coli isolates were antibiotic resistant, being divided into 55.5% resistant to up to three different classes of antibiotics and 44.5% resistant to four or more (up to 6) different classes. In the present study, majority of tested plants (Urtica dioica, Hypericum perforatum, Hippophae rhamnoides, Viburnum L., Vaccinium macrocarpon L., Cuminum cyminum L.) have not demonstrated antimicrobial activity to E.coli isolates. However, the oil extract of leaves of Plantago major, aqueous extract of green husk of Juglans regia L. and ethanol extract of seeds of Tropaeolum majus L. demonstrated activity against test cultures.
