TL;DR: The leaf extracts of C. sativa, T. orientalis and P. guajava had potential for the control of both hospital- and community-acquired MRSA, and the inhibitory effect was enhanced when extracts were used in combination.

TL;DR: Use of environment-friendly and easily biodegradable natural insecticides of plant origin has received renewed importance for disease vector control, as they are least phytotoxic and do not accumulate chemical residues in flora, fauna and soil.
Abstract: Continued use of synthetic chemical insecticide-based intervention measures for vector control has resulted in lower efficacy of the insecticide in controlling the medically important disease vectors. Malaria contributes to the major disease burden, and operational control failure, namely development of insecticide resistance in malaria vector to the commonly used synthetic chemical insecticides in public health sprays has made the disease control more difficult. In recent years use of environment-friendly and easily biodegradable natural insecticides of plant origin has received renewed importance for disease vector control. Interest in this field has increased more so, as they are least phytotoxic and do not accumulate chemical residues in flora, fauna and soil. In fact, the first compound that was used extensively against adult mosquitoes was the flower extract of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium (family Compositae). This extract was first used in South Africa and India with desired results. This extract is still in use in indoor space sprays against adult vector species for liquidation of foci during the epidemics and outbreaks. Studies on the natural plant products for their efficacy as larvicides during the last decade have indicated them to be possible alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides. However

TL;DR: Results suggested that C. dactylon (L.) could combat the microbial infection by stimulating the immune response in fish with significant alterations in the haematological and biochemical parameters.

TL;DR: The investigation on the chemical constituents of the whole plant of Abutilon indicum has resulted in the isolation of two new compounds, abutilin A and (R)-N-(1′-methoxycarbonyl-2′-phenylethyl)-4-hydroxybenzamide, as well as 28 known compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave energy, performed at atmospheric pressure with a small quantity of water for 10 min, enabled a best yield (0.54-0.57%) and a high amount of the volatile fraction with a shorter extraction time and a reduction of energy consumption.
Abstract: The Nigella sativa L. is widely cultivated in the Algerian Sahara and primarily used for its health benefits. Extraction experiments were carried out by a microwave energy, performed at atmospheric pressure with a small quantity of water for 10 min. This method enabled a best yield (0.54–0.57%) and a high amount of the volatile fraction with a shorter extraction time and a reduction of energy consumption. The kinetic study of essential oils extraction was quantitatively studied. Thus, the qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oils extracted for 10 min and in different periods was examined by capillary gas chromatography and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The percentage of the main constituents such as p-cymene, thymoquinone, α-thujene, 4-terpineol and carvacrol was reported. The family classes present a significant variation according to the extraction time. Kinetic and extraction rate profile of microwave process (yield) showed that it is possible to reduce the extraction time.
