Abstract:
Small ruminant production is one of the most important animal productions for food security in the world, especially in the developing world. Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is a threat to this animal’s production. Conventional drugs that are used to control these parasites are losing their efficacy due to the development of resistant parasites. These drugs are not biologically degradable, taint meat products and are also expensive for communal farmers. Hence, research is now exploring ethnomedicinal anthelmintic plants for an alternative remedy. The objective of this paper was to review ethnomedicinal plants as a potential alternative to unsustainable commercial anthelmintics. This review sought to understand common GINs infecting ruminants, resistance manifestation in GINs to conventional treatment, reasons communal farmers choose ethnomedicine, and modes of action in anthelmintic plants. It also examined the usage of plants and plant parts, dosage forms, methods for improving bioactivity, convectional validation procedures, and restrictions on ethnomedicinal plant use as anthelmintics in ethnomedicine. Such insight is essential, as it highlights the importance of ethnoveterinary medicine and ways to adopt or improve it as a potential alternative to conventional anthelmintics.

Abstract:
The valayan tribes of Somagiri hills, Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India were interviewed during January 2020 to November 2021 through a survey instrument to record the details of ethnomedicines currently used by them to cure and manage various human ailments. The informants who had cooperated with the researchers have also revealed the method of drug preparation and the application besides the places of collection in and around the Somagiri hills. The present study has revealed that a total of 107 medicinal plants belonging to 47 angiosperm families and one pteridophyte family are being traditionally used to cure 19 different human ailments. Fabaceae (with 18 plant species) is found topping the list of ethnomedicines of the valayan community. Of the 107 ethnomedicinal plants verified using IUCN Red List, Chlorophytum borivilianum, and Aegle marmelos gain greater conservation significance owing to their enlistment as Endangered and Near Threatened categories, respectively. Of the different plant parts, leaves were the most widely used plant part which accounted for 41 species, followed by whole plant (36 species) and bark (21 species). The majority of plants species were used for Dermatological diseases (25%), followed by Gastro-intestinal diseases (14%), Poisonous bites (10%), General debility (9%), and Skeleto-Muscular System Disorders (7%). The majority of the ethnomedicinal drug preparation type was in the form of juice from 50% plants. The results confirm that the valayan tribes depended heavily on the medicinal plants of the Somagiri hills inhabited by them for their health care and so, stressing the need for revival of interest in ethnomedicine. Documentation of ethnobotanical knowledge is a valuable effort as it may carry secret solution for cancer and emerging forms of dreadful diseases like COVID-19 and Omicron.

Abstract:
Ethnomedicine, synonymous with traditional medicine, is a crucial healthcare system practiced by various ethnic groups worldwide, especially among those with limited access to modern Western medicine. This study explores the rich bio-cultural diversity of the North Central Western Ghats in Karnataka, India, which harbors diverse ethnomedicinal practices. The region's tropical forests are home to an extensive array of plant species, with over 600 endemic to southern India and 95 exclusively endemic to Karnataka. The research focuses on documenting and analyzing the traditional knowledge of local communities regarding the use of plants for treating various human diseases. However, this task presents significant challenges and requires collaborative efforts from the government, NGOs, and Herbal Drug Companies. Over the last decade, ethnomedicinal studies have seen a rise, but there is still limited understanding of ethnomedicine's role in the traditional healthcare system in India. The forests of North Central Western Ghats, including Agumbe, Arbail Ghat, Chorla Betta, and others, exhibit a combination of deciduous and evergreen vegetation. These forests hold a variety of medicinal plants, adding to the region's bio-cultural richness. Scientific validation of the locally used ethnomedicinal plants further supports the development of herbal drug formulations with the support of the Ministry of Ayush, enabling the conservation and sustainable utilization of threatened and endangered species. The study emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional healers' knowledge and promoting collaboration for the preservation of ethnomedicinal practices in the region.

Abstract:
Plants belonging to the genus Irvingia are widespread across the African and Southeast Asian regions of the world. Irvingia gabonensis, Irvingia malayana, and Irvingia grandifolia are among the commonly used species in ethnomedicine, especially in Africa. Fever, scabies, toothache, inflammation, and liver and gastrointestinal disorders are among the pathological conditions that are reverted by Irvingia plants upon traditional preparations. Modern pharmacological investigations have substantiated the ethnomedicinal uses of Irvingia spp. Reports on the phytochemical analysis of Irvingia plants have revealed the presence of a number of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. Based on the foregoing, the present study provides a comprehensive evaluation of reports on the ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicity of plants from the genus Irvingia. Relevant information on Irvingia plants was mostly obtained from major scientific databases from their inception until July 2023. As a result, more than forty compounds have been identified in Irvingia spp., proving the abundance of secondary metabolites in these plants. Reports have pointed out modern pharmacological activities such as antiprotozoal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. The present study provides more insights for the successful utilization of Irvingia plants and may guide further research on their therapeutic potential in the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract:
The Economic Botany Data Collection Standard (EBDCS) is a widely used standard among ethnobotanists. However, this standard classifies ethnomedicinal uses into categories based on local peoples’ perception. It is difficult to apply in pharmacological research. The International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC), now updated to ICPC-2, is more related to medical terms, but is rarely used among ethnobotanists. This study aims to apply the ICPC-2 to classify metadata of the ethnomedicinal uses of Zingiberaceae plants in Thailand, in order to identify important medicinal taxa for future research. Data on the ethnomedicinal uses of Thai gingers were collected from 62 theses, journal articles, scientific reports and a book, published between 1990 and 2019. Scientific plant names were updated using The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) website. Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) was used to identify the medicinal issues commonly treated with gingers, and the Cultural Importance Index (CI) was used to identify species that might have pharmacological potential. We found records of 76 ginger species with ethnomedicinal uses, and together they had 771 use reports. The gingers were commonly used for treatments related to digestive system conditions, particularly abdominal pain and flatulence. Gingers remain exceedingly important in Thai ethnomedicine, with a high number of useful species. They are used to treat a variety of health conditions, but most commonly such ones that are related to the digestive system. Apart from the popular studied ginger, Curcuma longa, we identified a number of other useful gingers in Thailand.

Abstract:
Tbolis in Lemsnolon, Tboli, South Cotabato are one of the ethnic groups in the Philippines serving as repository of novel knowledge on ethnomedicine. On July 2014, a research was conducted among Tboli tribe in Lemsnolon to document the local knowledge on ethnomedicinal plants before environmental and cultural changes deplete the resources. Selected important ethnomedicinal plants were quantified through Relative Frequency Citation and Use Value. Selected important medicinal plants were screened for phytochemical constituents, and their antibacterial property was determined through paper disc diffusion method. A total of 28 medicinal plants belonging to 21 families were recorded, most are used for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings (13spp.) and certain infectious and parasitic diseases (5spp.). The most abundant medicinal plant families were Asteraceae (5spp.) and Euphorbiaceae (3spp.), the most dominant life forms of the species includes herbs (17spp.) followed by shrubs (4spp.), the most frequent used part were leaves (42%) followed by stems (11%), the most common preparation method was decoction (47%), the most common route of administration is through oral (66%). Artemisia vulgaris, Bryophyllum pinnatum, Elephantopus sp., Emilia sonchifolia, Ficus pseudopalma, Hyptis capitata, and Leucaena glauca have the highest RFC (0.29), E. sonchifolia has the highest Use Value (0.71).Selected important ethnomedicinal plants, Artemisia vulgaris, Costus malorticanus, Elephantopus sp., Emilia sonchifolia and H. capitata, were found to be rich in alkaloids while free fatty acids, flavonoids, tannins and anthraquinones were present in most of these selected plants. However, ethanolic extracts of the selected important medicinal plants showed inactive zone of inhibition against S. aureus and E. coli. Results showed that plants used for healing among Tboli community in Lemsnolon are found to be possible sources of potential drugs and are subject for further phytochemical and pharmacological investigations.

Abstract:
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase (TK) that belongs to the ErbB family and governs important cellular functions like reproduction, survival, motility, and differentiation. Overexpression, intensification, and alteration of EGFR occur in a wide range of human malignancies and are associated with tumor progression and decreased anticancer drug sensitivity. As a result, EGFR has been identified as one of the primary anticancer targets. As cancer is more likely to be poorly understood in traditional medical practices, the extrapolation of an ethnomedicine-led strategy to identifying and prioritizing anticancer medicinal plants has been questioned. Nonetheless, given the challenges of developing innovative anticancer drugs that are effective, safe, inexpensive, and widely available, ethnomedicinal studies play critical roles in identifying relevant medicinal plants that can be further investigated. This study employed pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation to develop an effective agent as an inhibitor for EGFR. The final findings revealed that the selected bioactive compound stabilized the EGFR protein. The optimum orientations of the various inhibitors was Friedelin and it was chosen and subjected, along with the FDA-approved drug, to molecular dynamics modeling to determine the molecular interaction of the medication with various mutational sites in order to deduce the suitable orientation for the inhibitors. The study also attest to the ethnomedicinal claims that ethnomedicinal plants played a huge role in anticancer drug discovery and that their exploration can change the bleak picture cancer paints in our societies today.

Abstract:
Plants have served as sources of food and medicines for human beings since their advent. During famines or conditions of food scarcity, people throughout the world depend on unconventional plant items to satiate their hunger and meet their nutritional needs. Malnourished people often suffer from various diseases, much more than people eating a balanced diet. We are hypothesizing that the unconventional food plants that people eat during times of scarcity of their normal diet are also medicinal plants and thus can play a role in satiating hunger, meeting nutritional needs, and serving therapeutic purposes. Towards testing our hypothesis, surveys were carried out among the low income people of four villages in Lalmonirhat and Nilphamari districts of Bangladesh. People and particularly the low income people of these two districts suffer each year from a seasonal famine known as Monga. Over 200 informants from 167 households in the villages were interviewed with the help of a semistructured questionnaire and the guided field-walk method. The informants mentioned a total of 34 plant species that they consumed during Monga. Published literature shows that all the species consumed had ethnomedicinal uses. It is concluded that famine food plants also serve as ethnomedicinal plants.

Summary Introduction: India has a rich diversity of ethnomedicinal plants where the preparations from plants are used in treatment of various infection and ailments. Objectives: The detailed survey was done to gather the information about potential preparation of ethno-medicinal plants by the local communities of the study area. Methods: Data on 54 ethnomedicinal plants were recorded with the help of 19 men and 18 women aged between 45 and 60. Direct observation, group discussion and semi structured interview were used to collect the ethnobotanical information of the study area. Results: Prevalent ethnomedicinal uses of the plants were used for treating diarrhoea, asthma, dysentery, and other human ailments. The most commonly plant parts gathered were leaves (28.78 %) followed by bark (19.69 %), root (12.12 %), flower (10.60 %), fruit (9.09 %), seed and whole plant (7.57 % each), stem (4.54 %). It was observed from the investigation that the ethnomedicinal plants used most frequently in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery (29 taxa) followed by other liver problems (7 taxa), healing cut and wounds, tooth problems, blood dysentery, piles, asthma, fractured bones, scorpion/insects bite (2 taxa), skin diseases, urinary disorder and headache, menstrual disorder, infertility, stone problems, cold and cough, muscle pain and swelling, memory enhancer, killing of liver worms in children, insects repellent, bronchial catarrh (1 taxa each).

Abstract:
The present article mainly focused on the ethnomedicinal plants used by the community living in and around Dhaka to manage the diabetes. Ethnomedicinal data were collected using semi-structured interviews with key informants during June 2017 to July 2018 followed by field interviews, plant interviews, checklist interviews and group discussion techniques. A total of 92 ethnomedicinal plant species under 46 families have been documented. These species were used to treat 55 ailments through 200 formularies. Herbs are the most common medicinal plants in the study area followed by trees, shrubs and climbers. Leaf is mostly used for the preparation of herbal medicine. Among the total 92 ethnomedicinal plants, 11 species have been used for diabetes management by the community people. Disease category diabetes showed maximum factor informantconsensus value. Most cited ethnomedicinal plant species for the diabetes management are Gynura nepalensis DC., Coccinia grandis L. Voigt, Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Swietenia mahagoni (L.) Jacq., Momordica dioica Roxb. ex. Willd., Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, Streblus asper Lour., Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lamk.) Oken, Tamarindus indica L. and Scoparia dulcis L. The results in the present study for diabetes management were very preliminary and based on which sound conclusion was not possible. Further ethnopharmacological study is very essential on such species to validate their efficacy in the management of diabetes. Our findings also provide baseline data to establish a connection between the traditional users of medicinal plants and scientific communities, which can be substantial in novel drug discovery. Furthermore, ethnomedicinal data is of significant value for conservation managers and policy makers for sustainable management of ethnomedicinal plant species, which are under threat due to rapid urbanization.

Abstract:
Introduction: The growing need for the bioactive compounds of ethnomedicinal plants for the treatment of diseases has resulted in exploitation of medicinal plants. The present investigation aimed to study the diversity of endophytic and epiphytic bacteria associated with ethnomedicinal plants and to explore their potential as source of bioactive compounds. Methodology: Characterization of culturable endophytic and epiphytic bacteria associated with 11 ethnomedicinal plants and their potential as natural antioxidants was assessed through free radical scavenging activity, total phenolics, total flavonoids, metal ion chelation, and antagonistic activity. Genetic screening to assess the potential of endophytes and epiphytes to synthesize bioactive compounds was achieved by screening for the presence of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene. Result: The frequently isolated endophytic bacterium recovered was Bacillus sp. Antioxidative property of the bacterial extracts revealed endophytes with potent antioxidant activity and better antagonistic activity as compared to epiphytes. Genetic screening revealed the presence of the NRPS gene in seven plant-associated bacteria, indicating the production of natural products. Conclusions: The study indicated the extracts of bacterial endophytes associated with ethnomedicinal plants as good sources of natural products with potential application in oxidative stress. The isolates could be used as new bioactive agents.

Abstract:
Antibiotics resistant pathogenic bacteria are one of the emerging challenges of 21st century. Recently, researchers are looking for antibacterials (therapeutic agents) from ethnomedicinal indigenous plants to be considered new sources to meet the emerging challenges. These antibacterials could be used as an alternative to conventional antibiotics against infectious human diseases. The antibacterial properties of ethnomedicinal plants used by the local people of Brahmanbaria were determined. Ethnomedicinal data was collected in between June 2015 and June 2017 from 467 local people using mainly key informant’s interviews followed by group discussions, filed interviews and plant interviews. A total of 243 ethnomedicinal plants were recorded. In order to identify the most important ethnomedicinal plants Factor of informant consensus (Fic) was calculated and 8 medicinal plants were identified based on the higher consensus of informants. These are Litseaglutinosa (Lour.), Robinson, Scopariadulcis (L.), Dalbergiasissoo (Miq.), Clerodendrumviscosum (Vent.), Holarrhena antidysenterica (L.) Wall.exDecne., Phyllanthus reticulatus (Poir.), Paederia foetida (L.) and Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers. Both the aqueous and ethanol extracts of leaves were screened for antibacterial activity against 8 clinical strains through disc diffusion assays. The experimental results revealed that maximum (85%) plant extracts were potentially effective in inhibiting growth of pathogenic bacteria with variable potency. Litseaglutinosa was the most effective plant species retarding microbial growth of eight tested pathogenic bacteria. This plant can be evaluated for production of potential herbal antimicrobials alternative to antibiotics. Bangladesh J. Bot. 51(4): 779-786, 2022 (December)

Therefore, the present study is an attempt to identify and compile the knowledge of medicinal plants traditionally used by the Tangkhul Naga community of Manipur. Methods: An extensive questionnaire based survey was conducted among 80 key informants from 15 Tangkhul villages, along with the help of interview schedule. The informants included village elders, ‘medicine men’ or ‘traditional healers’, ‘bone setters’, ‘divine healers’ and health workers. Result: As many as 72 species of plants distributed in 69 genera belonging to 44 families were identified and reported by the informants. Out of which, highest number of plants belong to the Asteraceae family, followed by Lamiaceae, Solanaceae and Zingiberaceae families. While, leaves were found to be the most common parts used, decoction and juice were the most common method of preparing medicines and treatment to various ailments and diseases. Conclusion: The primary health care facilities provided by the government are virtually in a dysfunctional state in the overwhelming majority of the rural villages. Hence, people would still rely on their crude and traditional knowledge of using medicinal plants to treat various minor diseases and ailments. It still provides not only basic health care to an individual living in the rural villages, but also to the large section of the people of this community.
