Scholarly Open Access Journals In Medicinal Plants

Medicinal plants have long been utilized in traditional medicine and worldwide ethnomedicine. The representative case studies of medicinal plant genome, phylogeny, and evolution are summarized to exemplify the expansion of knowledge pedigree and the paradigm shift to the omics-based approaches. Medicinal plant extracts with various extracting solvents used, have shown effective activity against both M. tuberculosis and lots of other Mycobacterium spp. All of those studies have shown that variety of medicinal plants have variable activity against the Mycobacterium spp. Most of the medicinal plants tested have effective activity against the foremost important Mycobacterium spp. especially against M. tuberculosis. The synergistic bioactivity of phytochemicals in plant extracts often is touted as a plus that's difficult to duplicate by single synthetic drugs. It is our suggestion that “hybrid phytochemicals” which will mimic this synergistic property might be synthesized using templates from plants. Despite advancements in the fight against cardiovascular diseases, it has remained the number one cause of mortality worldwide. The focus of phytotherapy research should be drug development from medicinal plants. Phytochemicals that modulate enzymes that are targets for therapy should be characterized. Identified cardioactive phytochemicals or derived simpler analogues should be synthesized to preserve species.
