The ethyl alcohol and ethyl acetate extracts of root, leaf and stem of C. infortunatum were subjected to apply against the brine shrimp (A. salina) nauplii for the detection of their biological activity
Summary
The use of indigenous knowledge of traditional medical practitioners as leads provides a useful route employed in the search for novel drugs [1]. Medical knowledge derived from traditional societies has motivated searches for new bioactive molecules derived from plants that show potent activity against bacterial pathogens [3]. Some researchers are providing laboratory trials to justify for the use of the plants in folk medicine to treat various infectious diseases [4]. (Verbenaceae) is selected to assess its ethnobotanical importance due to randomly use as traditional medicine to cure common ailments such as intestinal disorder, diarrhea, tuberculosis and respiratory problems etc. Roots and leaf extracts of C. indicum, C. phlomidis, C. serratum, C. trichotomum, C. chinense and C. petasites have been used for the treatment of rheumatism, asthma and other inflammatory diseases [9].
