| Summary, etc. |
<p><span>Two plant species of sandy shores, namely, </span><em>Vitex trifolia</em><span> L. (Beach vitex) and </span><em>Ipomoea pes-caprae</em><span> (L.) R. Br. (Beach morning glory), have been selected for review. Both species have ethno-pharmacological relevance and have been traditionally utilised by local people in remedies for various ailments. </span><span>Endowed with diterpenes and flavonoids as major constituents, <em>V. trifolia</em> has trypanocidal, antimicrobial, anti-quorum sensing, mosquito larvicidal and repelling, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, vascular relaxation, antimalarial, trachea-spasmolytic, wound healing, estrogenic, antinociceptive, anti-tubercular, anthelmintic, molluscidal, and mice repelling properties. It is noteworthy that casticin or vitexicarpin isolated from <em>V. trifolia</em> displays potent cytotoxicity against a wide range of cancer cell lines <em>via</em>different modes of molecular action. Chemical constituents of <em>I. pes-caprae</em> include resin glycosides, flavonoids and phenolic acids. It exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antispasmodic, insulinogenic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-collagenase and immuno-stimulatory activities. With an increasing number of people being stung by jellyfish while swimming in the sea of Thailand, clinical trials have been conducted to test the efficacy of <em>I. pes-caprae</em> extracts in treating jellyfish dermatitis.</span></p> |
