Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Activities of Vernonia amygdalina

Journal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology
Vernonia amygdalina is a small tree that can grow to a height of ten metres. It is sometimes referred to as bitter leaf due to the fact that its leaves have a bitter bitter flavour and its branches are frail. Although its natural habitat is in tropical Africa, it may be found all over the world in regions that receive an average rainfall of 750–2000 ...

Ecological Drivers of Microbiota Diversity in the Pharmacophagous Turnip Sawfly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
We show that both nutritional (host‐plant diet, starvation) and non‐nutritional (pharmacophagy) plant use independently shape microbiota diversity, composition and predicted function in Athalia rosae. Pharmacophagy via clerodanoid uptake altered microbial communities and enriched metabolic pathways linked to plant compound degradation. Wild individuals

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Compounds from the Flower Extracts of Vernonia amygdalina [PDF]

Advances in Pharmacological Sciences, 2018
Vernonia amygdalina is traditionally used in Ethiopia to treat various diseases. This prompted us to isolate bioactive compounds from the flowers of this plant. The CHCl3 extract after silica gel column chromatography has led to the isolation of two compounds identified as tricosane (1) and vernolide (2), while the acetone extract furnished ...
