Abstract

In this review, the function of secondary metabolites in Binahong (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis) leaves were summarized for their therapeutic effects such as antimicrobial activity, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, lowering the blood pressure, and antihyperlipidemic activity as a potential medicinal plant to treat disease. The phytochemical screening of Binahong leaves extracted by using particular solvent showed positive results to the presence of phenolic, steroid, terpenoid, alkaloid, and saponin compounds contained in the extract. The antimicrobial activity is able to disrupt cell membrane activity and inhibit bacterial growth, meanwhile anti-inflammatory ability is able to decrease anti-inflammatory agents level. It also decreases blood pressure by regulation of lipid metabolites, reduction of peripheral resistance, and upregulation of nitric oxide activity. The ethanolic extract of Binahong leaves can reduce fat deposits or layers in the endothelial cells, cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, and decrease the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA formation) from the lipid peroxidation to prevent hyperlipidemia and heart disease.

Abstract

Monarda fistulosa is a plant often used in traditional medication with numerous benefits. This review paper aims to elaborate on the phytochemicals of Monarda fistulosa that contribute to its pharmacological activity. Numerous studies have found the bioactive compounds of Monarda fistulosa including carvacrol, thymol, thymoquinone, flavonoid, ????-pinene, caryophyllene oxide, limonene, and geraniol. Researchers have found several pharmacological activities in relation to these compounds including antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, and immunomodulatory properties. Evidence shows that Monarda fistulosa has potential for applications in many areas. Nevertheless, further clinical studies still have to be conducted to assess the effects of this plant.
