Abstract

Pogostemon Desf. is the largest genus in the Pogostemoneae (Lamiaceae). The plastid genomes of Pogostemon species ranged from 151,824 to 152,707 bp in length and comprise 114 genes including 80 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Pogostemon is found mostly in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia. P. cablin as one of the commercial species of the genus Pogostemon has various abundant pharmacological activities, such as anti-hypertension, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, etc. This review studied the complete chloroplast genome of Pogostemon, distribution of Pogostemon, and pharmacological activity of P. cablin. Online literature searches were carried out to compile the article. The following search terms were used to find online publications: Pogostemon, distribution of Pogostemon, complete chloroplast genome of Pogostemon, and pharmacological activity of P. cablin plants in PubMed (Medline) and Web of Science. Additionally, several assessments of prior and present data from the Pogostemon and P. cablin research publication were included into one review.

Abstract

The Gayo Highlands communities use Asteraceae species in traditional medicine to treat various ailments. This study aimed to document the ethnopharmacological use of Asteraceae and assess community knowledge regarding their medicinal applications. Data were collected from 48 respondents across eight sub-districts using purposive sampling and structured questionnaires. The study identified 10 Asteraceae species used to treat 10 diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, hypertension, liver disorders, common cold, bloating, cough, fever, toothache, and skin itching. Leaves were the most frequently used plant organ (95.96%), mainly from wild plants growing near home yards or abandoned land. Approximately 81.25% of respondents reported using Asteraceae to manage DM. Standard preparation methods included boiling and pounding, with the leaves of Erigeron sumatrensis Retz being the most widely recognized and utilized for the treatment of DM and cancer. The community’s preference for these plants is attributed to their availability, perceived safety, and efficacy. This study highlights the significant ethnopharmacological potential of Asteraceae in the Gayo Highlands and provides a basis for further pharmacological investigations, particularly on E. sumatrensis.
