   • According to Ojo O (2022)

     Excerpt Aim of the review: The aim of this review is to systematically summarize the current knowledge on ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, & real-time scientific applications of the genus Chromolaena after its re-classification from genus Eupatorium, as well as to proffer integrated approaches in maximizing their therapeutic values despite their "weedy" nature. Pharmacological investigations, both in vitro & in vivo, have shown that the extracts & the compounds have antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, insecticidal, anti-inflammatory, & anti-diabetic activities among others.

   • According to Ijato JY (2010)

     Excerpt The aqueous and organic solvents (water & ethanol) extracts from leaves of Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae) & Chromolaena odorata (Asteraceae) where tested against fungal pathogens of rotten tomato (Aspergillus Niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizopus stolonifer & Geotrichum candidium) by poisoned food method. Ethanol extracts of 30% A indica had the best inhibitory effect (83.30%) against Aspergillus niger followed by 30% ethanol extract of C odorata (80.00%) against G candidium comparatively, 20% ethanol extract of A indica (75.20%) against G.

   • According to Ojo O (2022)

     Excerpt In addition, there is growing interest in the real-time scientific applications of the genus in the production of pharmacological polyherbal products, & this should serve as a stimulus to strategically develop integrated control approaches for preserving these species, with a view of maximizing their therapeutic values & reducing their cots of eradication. Aim of the review: The aim of this review is to systematically summarize the current knowledge on ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, & real-time scientific applications of the genus Chromolaena after its re-classification from genus Eupatorium, as well as to proffer integrated approaches in maximizing their therapeutic values despite their "weedy" nature.

   • According to SHARMA K (2013)

     Excerpt The essential oil from the dried leaves of Eupatorium odoratum Linn was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The leaf oil was screened for in vitro antibacterial activity and was tested against both gram positive and gram-negative bacterial strains.
