The Eupatorium plant has been well used in medication and as a decorative plant. Some studies have reported that this herb biochemical compounds, such sesquiterpenes, phenolics, polysaccharides, pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Thus, it pharmacological effects, including antifungal, antibacterial, cytotoxic, antinociceptive properties, can be utilized for cosmetic purposes. However, only few published ...

Petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts of Eupatorium triplinerve Vehl. leaves were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against 11 human pathogenic bacteria and six phytopathogenic fungi. The crude extracts showed good activity against the organisms tested herein. The chloroform extract exhibited the largest zone of inhibition (22 mm in diam wit...

Summary A new combination, Conocliniopsis grossedentata , in R.M.King & H.Rob. (Compositae: Eupatorieae: Gyptidinae) is provided. An earlier assessment of Prince Maximilian Wied-Neuwied’s collections (sent by Martius to Colla), proposed that Colla’s Eupatorium grossedentatum was a synonym Lourteigia ballotifolia (Kunth) H.Rob., Colombian endemic. critical Wied’s collection has indicated the...

The antioxidant activities of water extract (WE), ethanol extract (EE), residue water extract (RWE) and petroleum ether (PF), ethyl acetate (EF), n-BuOH (BF) and water (WF) fractions of the ethanol extract from Eupatorium Lindley DC were investigated for the first time. Total phenolics content, DPPH radical scavenging activities, superoxide radical scavenging activities, total reduction capabil...

Allelopathy has been hypothesized to play a role in exotic plant invasions, and study of this process can improve our understanding of how direct and indirect plant interactions influence plant community organization and ecosystem functioning. However, allelopathic effects can be highly conditional. For example allelopathic effects demonstrated in vivo can be difficult to demonstrate in field s...
