Abstract:
Eleven methanolic extracts of ten Australian native plants from Toohey Forest, Brisbane, Australia were investigated for their potential medicinal value as antibacterial agents. All plants showed some antibacterial activity against at least one of the bacteria tested. Alcaligenes faecalis, Aeromonas hydrophilia and Bacillus cereus were the most susceptible bacteria, being inhibited by 9, 9 and 10 of the plant extracts respectively. Davallia pyxidata and Marchantia polymorpha extracts were least effective, inhibiting the growth of only 1 or 2 bacteria respectively. Acrotriche aggregata, Petalostigma pubescens, Leptospermum trinervia and Planchonella queenslandica leaf extracts were particularly effective bacterial agents being capable of inhibiting the growth of 8 (57%), 10 (71%), 9 (64%) and 9 (64%) of the bacteria tested respectively. A. aggregata, P. pubescens and L. trinervia leaf extracts displayed low toxicity in the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay, confirming their potential as antibacterial agents for medicinal use.

Abstract:
With one of the oldest surviving cultures in the world, Australian Aboriginal people have developed immense knowledge about the diverse Australian flora. Western scientific investigation of some Australian Aboriginal medicinal plants has demonstrated interesting pharmacological activities and chemistry, however the majority of these species have not yet been extensively examined. We argue that research that is locally initiated and driven by Indigenous traditional owners in collaboration with Western scientists has significant potential to develop new plant-based products. Locally driven medicinal plants research in which traditional owners work as researchers in collaboration with University-based colleagues in the investigation of medicines rather than “stakeholders” or “informants” is one model that may be used in characterising plants with the potential to be developed into sustainable plant-based medicinal products with commercial value. Our team has taken this approach in research located both on traditional homelands and in the laboratory. Research being conducted by the University of South Australia and Chuulangun Aboriginal Corporation has led to patent filing for protection of intellectual property associated with novel compounds and extracts with the potential for development through cosmetic, complementary medicine and pharmaceutical routes. Ongoing research is examining the commercial developmental pathways and requirements for product development in these spaces. This review will address the opportunities that might exist for working in partnership with Australian Indigenous communities, some of the scientific knowledge which has been generated so far from our work together and the lessons learnt since the inception of the collaboration between the Chuulangun Aboriginal Corporation and scientists from the University of South Australia.

Abstract:
Aboriginal people of Australia possess a rich knowledge on the use of medicinal plants for the treatment of sores, wounds, and skin infections, ailments which impose a high global disease burden and require effective treatments. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities and phytochemical contents of extracts, obtained from eight medicinal plants used by Aboriginal people of New South Wales, Australia, for the treatment of skin related ailments, were assessed to add value to and provide an evidence-base for their traditional uses. Extracts ofAcacia implexa,Acacia falcata,Cassytha glabella,Eucalyptus haemastoma,Smilax glyciphylla,Sterculia quadrifida, andSyncarpia glomuliferawere evaluated. All extracts except that ofS. quadrifidashowed activity against sensitive and multidrug resistant strains ofStaphylococcus aureuswith minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 7.81 to 1000 μg/mL. The sap ofE. haemastomaand bark ofA. implexapossessed high total phenolic contents (TPC) and strong DPPH radical scavenging abilities. A positive correlation was observed between TPC and free radical scavenging ability. GC-MS analysis of then-hexane extract ofS. glomuliferaidentified known antimicrobial compounds. Together, these results support the traditional uses of the examined plants for the treatment of skin related ailments and infections by Aboriginal people of New South Wales, Australia.

Abstract:
Recent scientific studies have proven the importance of trace elements on human health. The main food supplies are plants and animals, which are significant sources of these minerals. Studies on determining mineral compositions of herbs, spices and some other crops have increased all over the world. Published works revealed that spices, herbs and medicinal plants should be consumed to obtain beneficial trace elements. Selenium (Se), one of the most vital trace elements, has a significant role in human diet acting as a preventative agent against some serious illnesses. Despite numerous scientific works on mineral compositions of medicinal and aromatic plants, investigations of selenium content in these foods could not be successfully studied until recently due to the lack of suitable analytical methods for selenium analysis. Thus, publications on selenium concentrations of foods are recent. In this regard, selenium contents of some medicinal and aromatic plants commonly used as spices, herbal teas and traditional medicines in Turkey were studied in the present research. Selenium contents of the most used parts of these plants were analyzed by ICP-OES (Varian Vista-Pro, Australia). Of the analyzed 26 medicinal and aromatic plants, the highest Se concentration (1133 μg kg-1) was found in sweet basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.) and the lowest in sumac ( Rhus coriaria L.) fruits (11 μg kg-1).

Abstract:
Chronic inflammation contributes to multiple ageing-related musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. More recently, chronic neuroinflammation has been attributed to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease and autism-spectrum and obsessive-compulsive disorders. To date, pharmacotherapy of inflammatory conditions is based mainly on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which in contrast to cytokine-suppressive anti-inflammatory drugs do not influence the production of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-α or nitric oxide. However, their prolonged use can cause gastrointestinal toxicity and promote adverse events such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and thrombosis. Hence, there is a critical need to develop novel and safer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs possessing alternate mechanism of action. In this study, plants used by the Dharawal Aboriginal people in Australia for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, for example, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, fever, oedema, eye inflammation, and inflammation of bladder and related inflammatory diseases, were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. Ethanolic extracts from 17 Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtaceae) were assessed for their capacity to inhibit nitric oxide and tumor necrosis factor-α production in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Eucalyptus benthamii showed the most potent nitric oxide inhibitory effect (IC50 5.57±1.4 µg/mL), whilst E. bosistoana, E. botryoides, E. saligna, E. smithii, E. umbra, and E. viminalis exhibited nitric oxide inhibition values between 7.58 and 19.77 µg/mL.

Full text
Abstract:
Alkaloids derived from solanaceous plants were the subject of intense investigations by European chemists, pharmacologists and clinicians in the second half of the nineteenth century. Some surprise was expressed when it was discovered in the 1870s that an Australian bush, Duboisia myoporoides, contained an atropine-like alkaloid, 'duboisine'. A complicated and colourful history followed. Duboisine was adopted in Australia, Europe and the United States as an alternative to atropine as an ophthalmologic agent; shortly afterwards, it was also esteemed as a potent sedative in the management of psychiatric patients, and as an alternative to other solanaceous alkaloids in the treatment of parkinsonism. The Second World War led to renewed interest in Duboisia species as sources of scopolamine, required for surgical anaesthesia and to manage sea-sickness, a major problem in the naval part of the war. As a consequence of the efforts of the CSIR and of Wilfrid Russell Grimwade (1879-1955), this led to the establishment of plantations in Queensland that today still supply the bulk of the world's raw scopolamine. Following the War, however, government support for commercial alkaloid extraction waned, and it was the interest of the German firm Boehringer Ingelheim and its investment in the industry that rescued the Duboisia industry in the mid-1950s, and that continues to maintain it at a relatively low but stable level today. 'It is to be regretted that scientific men in this colony have paid so little attention to the subject of Medicinal Botany. Surrounded, as we are, by shrubs and plants possessing medicinal properties, there is a wide field for investigation; and, no doubt, it will be found in time to come, that we have been sending to distant countries for expensive medicines, whilst remedies equally efficacious might be provided close at hand in all their native freshness.'

Abstract:
It has been identified that triterpenoids saponins extracted from plants can have cardiovascular, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. The Australian Acacia plant has a broad range of triterpenoids saponins. Current methods for separation and isolation of triterpenoids saponins involve using a large amount of organic solvents, which can be a drawback of using the extract as a functional food and nutraceutical.

Chronic wounds are a costly and growing problem to global health care systems and affect the productivity of patients and their quality of life. In all cultures, people have used medicinal plants for the treatment and alleviation of various health issues. This project has shown a new potential role for the primary extracts and isolated compounds of C. terminalis derived-kino and the primary extracts of H. tiliaceus (L.) leaves as wound healing agents in vitro, and hence, potentially paves the way for future novel therapeutics for the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.

Abstract:
This practice-led visual arts research project uses photography to represent medicinal plants of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), and provides a visual articulation of the actions of decay and regeneration. It draws on natural science and extensive consultations and discussions with members of the Quandamooka community of Minjerribah. I have a particular interest in medicinal plants that stems from my childhood spent growing up in the small town of Janów Lubelski in Southeast Poland. My grandmother had a special knowledge of making infusions from local herbs, and remedies from twigs and berries. In an effort to find a sense of belonging in Australia, I brought this experience of Polish folk medicine into my new locale alongside my ecological concerns for maintaining biodiversity and preserving the natural environment. Focusing on medicinal plants from Minjerribah, this research project is grounded in field trips, and the long process of building precious relationships with the local Quandamooka Peoples. This research emphasises the importance of the protocols and processes involved in working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, the respectful treatment of cultural property, and the productive outcomes of sharing stories. I have learned much from my regular visits with Minjerribah residents and from literature about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their knowledge systems, traditions, and the significance of their connection to country, particularly in relation to plant culture.

Abstract:
As part of an investigation into traditional Australian Aboriginal bush medicine a range of Acacia species have been examined. Several species have been reported to be utilised for the preparation of antimicrobial washes and lotions by Aboriginal tribes. Initial bioactivity screening focussed on antimicrobial activity of the polar/and or non-polar extracts of air dried plant material, and a range of interesting activity has been found. Specifically, of the 94 extracts of Acacia species screened, five showed activity against the fungus C.albicans, 47 showed activity showed activity against the gram positive bacteria S.aureus and five showed activity against the gram negative bacteria E.coli. A retrosynthetic analysis and total synthesis of the novel anisidine alkaloid isolated from Acacia trineura was attempted. A variety of methodologies to generate the lithiate of anisidine and subsequently trap with an appropriate electrophile were attempted. While the results only indicated which methods were appropriate, they did give strong leads for future work in this direction

Abstract:
High antioxidant capacities have been linked with a reduction in the incidence of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, neurodegeneration, inflammation and cancer. Furthermore, phenolic antioxidants may not only have protective effects against these diseases, but may also have therapeutic potential in reversing them by modulation of the cellular redox state. Thus, plants with high antioxidant capacities have potential in the development of new chemotherapeutic treatments to prevent and treat some cancers. Several native Australian plant species including Terminalia ferdinandiana Exell (Kakadu plum), Tasmannia lanceolata (Poir.) A.C.Sm., (Tasmannian pepper), Syzygium australe (H.L.Wendl. ex Link) B.Hyland (brush cherry), Syzygium luehmannii (F.Muell.) L.A.S.Johnson (riberry), Davidsonia pruriens F.Muell. (Davidson’s plum), Elaeocarpus angustifolius Blume (quandong), Kunzea pomifera F.Muell. (muntries), Podocarpus elatus R.Br.ex Endl., (Illawarra plum) and Acronychia acidula F.Muell., (lemon aspen) have recently been reported to have extraordinarily high antioxidant content and were therefore selected to screen for the ability to inhibit proliferation of selected carcinoma cell lines.

Abstract:
The use of indigenous plants by native healers has been in healthcare system for a long time. It is prevalent in many developing countries because of its wide benefits and rising popularity. But less is known about the chemistry behind the medicinal properties of those indigenous plants. Unraveling the knowledge helps develop drugs based on the indigenous plants and understand their mechanisms of the action. Malaria happens to be a vector borne protozoan parasitic disease which has been reported to affect 229 million people in 2019. Use of indigenous plant for treating malaria is widely practiced and this had led to the development of two anti-malarial drugs, artemisinin, and quinine. Clerodendrum polycephalum, also known as ‘egungun eja’ or ‘ewe agbosa’ or ‘aporo’ by different tribes of Nigeria, is used by native healers as an anti-malarial treatment. However, the anti-malarial effect is not well studied and the chemical compounds responsible for its activity is unknown. The understanding of the chemical composition and their antimalarial activities will provide scientific evidence for its traditional application in malaria treatment. This project was a collaborative research between A/Prof Yunjiang Feng at Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery and Prof. Francis B. Adewoyin at Drug Research and Production Unit, Obafemi Awolowo University, and Prof. Alexander B. Odaibo at Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan; mediated by BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH). The Nigerian group analysed the crude extract of Clerodendrum polycephalum based on its traditional use; but lack of expertise in natural product chemistry led to this collaboration. The overall objective was to use bioassay as a guide to isolate antimalarial natural products against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 drug resistant cell lines. Any novel/new compounds will also be targeted by using 1H NMR guided isolation strategy. Knowing the wide distribution of Clerodendrum around the world, several Australian Clerodendrum sp. were investigated by LC-MS to understand the chemical compositions of samples from different geographic locations. The thesis was started with an introduction chapter which included different concepts such as traditional medicine, malaria, Clerodendrum, bioassay guided fractionation, NMR guided isolation and a brief outline of the project. Traditional medicine (TM) was introduced with a detailed description on African traditional medicine (ATM). It then proceeded with a brief discussion on malaria, its causes, and the current treatment. The chapter then provided a detailed description of genus Clerodendrum, its geographical distribution, traditional use and the biological activity of the plant extract and secondary metabolites. The chapter continued with a brief of bioassay guided fractionation. Finally, the chapter ended with a description of NMR guided isolation of compounds with biological activity. Chapter 2 described detailed experimental procedures involved in this project, including isolation and purification of natural products from the plant species. The chapter also detailed the biological assays as well as the spectroscopic data of the pure compounds. Chapter 3 started with an introduction of Clerodendrum polycephalum, then moved on to the bioassay guided isolation which resulted in four pure compounds, including the new clerodane diterpene lactone A. Considering the difficulties in the isolation process due to the presence of large amount of methyl pheophorbide a, the next batch of crude extract was purified using a revised strategy where the fractionation procedure was modified and 1H NMR was utilized to guide the isolation. This resulted in ten compounds, including four new clerodane diterpene lactone (A-D), one new 12,16-Epoxy-11,14,17-trihydroxy-17(15→16)-abeo- 5,8,11,13,15-abietapentaen-7-one, as well as 5 known compounds, namely, acacetin, methyl pheophorbide a, loliolide, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and 12,16-Epoxy-6,11,14,17- tetrahydroxy-17(15→16)-abeo-5,8,11,13,15-abietapentaen-7-one. The chemical structures were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of 1D-, 2D-NMR and MS spectroscopic data assisted by density functional theory (DFT) calculated NMR and circular dichroism (CD). The in-vitro activity evaluation against P. falciparum 3D7 revealed that methyl pheophorbide a was active with IC50 values of 4.49 M. The compound showed no cytotoxicity against neonatal foreskin fibroblast (NFF) mammalian cells. Our results provided scientific evidence for the traditional use of Clerodendrum polycephalum in malarial treatment. Chapter 4 aims to investigate whether Clerodendrum sp. collected from different geographic location contain similar chemistry. The chapter started with an introduction of Australian Clerodendrum sp., Griffith University’s NatureBank and the use of LC-MS for screening compounds in plant extracts. Fifteen Australian Clerodendrum were extracted and analyzed by LC-MS. Our results suggested that every compound isolated from Clerodendrum polycephalum was detected in the Australian species. Large scale isolation of Nature Bank sample NB020858 yielded verbascoside, diosmetin-5-o-glucuronide, 4-hydroxywogonin-5-oglucuronide and acacetin-5-o-8-hydroxyglucuronide; among these four compounds verbascoside and an analogue of acacetin-5-o-8-hydroxyglucuronide were also detected in the Nigerian plant extract. Based on the results, we conclude that Clerodendrum plant species from Nigeria and Australia contained same classes of compounds, and chemistry can be used as a tool for plant taxonomic identification.

Abstract:
Medicinal plants are very significant as they not only maintain the health and vitality but most importantly also cure the various ailments in humans and animals without causing any toxic side effects. These are readily available and cost effective therapeutic agents. Uraria picta was first proposed by Desvaux, (1813), is highly medicinal and critically endangered plant species found throughout India and other parts of the world like Africa, Australia, Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Nigeria etc. This herb is full of antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-emetic, aphrodisiac, analgesic, cardiovascular and expectorant properties. Due to its high therapeutic use and growing need, the plant is becoming rare and endangered, therefore it is necessary to create awareness of this plant to support its propagation in large numbers. This herb also shows properties of anti-cancer and anti-cholinergic properties hence can manage depressions, anxiety, sleeping problems. Analgesic property helps in reducing body pain.
