   • According to OBARE R (2020)

     Excerpt Axenic cultures & ethyl acetate extracts displayed antagonistic activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae & Salmonella typhi unlike pure compounds. Nonetheless, the results demonstrate that fungal endophytes isolated from L.M possess antibacterial compounds which can be exploited further as lead compounds towards addressing antimicrobial drug resistance.

   • According to SY T (2016)

     Excerpt The antibacterial screening of the extract against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli & Klebsiella species showed a dose dependent inhibitory activity. Leucas martinicensis is an annual herb which is used as mosquito repellant due to minty odor.

   • According to Héritier U (2023)

     Excerpt Therefore, the antimicrobial, the antioxidant, & the antiplasmodial results suggest that the ETOH extracts of the aerial parts of PER & LM contain compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, & antiplasmodial properties, which can be searched in new drug discovery for treatment of infectious diseases. Fr & Leucas martinicensis (Jack.) R.Br that are not yet well known.

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to RAMALINGAN R (2014)

     Excerpt Conclusion: From the results of our present study it can be concluded that, the ethanolic extract of whole plant of LM protected the animals from seizures & suppressed the oxidative stress induced by PTZ, without producing loss of motor coordination or depression. Leucas martinicensis (LM) is an herbal plant that has been used in folk medicine to treat malaria, kidney disorders, inflammation a rheumatism.

   • According to RAMANI R (2013)

     Excerpt Lack of antioxidant mechanisms is the major cause for increased oxidative stress. In recent years oxidative stress was found to play the significant role in causing various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders like, Alzheimer's.

   • According to ALI MN (2023)

     Excerpt This study investigated the phytochemicals, chemical composition & antioxidant profile of the crude extracts & essential oil derived from Leucas Martinicensis. Furthermore, the antioxidant potential of the crude extracts & EO was evaluated using various antioxidant assays, including DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay & ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay.

   • According to ---Uba B (2021)

     Excerpt The DPPH scavenging activity of EOs showed that LM with an IC 50 of (145.7ug/ml) have higher antioxidant activity than EO obtained from the leaves of OG with the IC 50 of (158.3ug/ml) but their activities is lower than the standard with IC 50 of (134.3ug/ml) & (145.7ug/ml) respectively,.

   • According to Héritier U (2023)

     Excerpt Fr & Leucas martinicensis (Jack.) R.Br that are not yet well known. The antioxidant assays revealed IC50 56.17 μg/mL & 78.43 μg/mL for DPPH assay, & 112.03 μM TE/100mL & 90.46 μM TE/100mL) for FRAP assay for ethanol extracts of PER & LM respectively.
