Acetogenin a different class of secondary metabolites was found in various parts of Annona squamosa L. More than 20 different acetogenins were isolated from leaves, bark, fruits and seeds. Cytotoxic and Insecticidal properties of Annona squamosa L. were attributed to acetogenins. More than 13 different alkaloids, several terpenes, kauranes were isolated. Antibacterial activity was attributed to terpenes and kauranes. Seeds of Annona squamosa yielded fixed oil containing hydroxyacids. Seeds were found to contain anti-inflammatory cyclic peptides.
Many pharmacological activities were experimentally reported on extracts of Annona squamosa L., these included Antitumour, Cytotoxic, Antiinflammatory, Analgesic, Antidiabetic, Antioxidant, Larvicidal, Insecticidal, Molluscicidal, Licicidal, Antibacterial, Nutritive, Antihtyroid.

Enicostema axillare is well known for its anthelmintic and bacterial activity. In present study dried leaves and ischolar_mains of Enicostema axillare were subjected to exhaustic sequential extraction with four solvent i.e.-hexane, chloroform, methanol and distilled water respectively. All four extracts were studied for in vitro licicidal activity using goat-lice Damalinia caprae (Trichodectidae) as experimental organism. Only n-hexane and chloroform fractions showed statistically significant licicidal activity (p value <0.001, n = 5). Decrease in mean time required to kill the lice was observed at concentration 1% w/w and 10% w/w when compared to 1% lindane solution.

Ethanolic extracts of gum resin of Boswellia serrata, bark of Moringa oleifera and leaves of Vitex negundo were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial activity .All ethanolic extracts exhibited significant anti-microbial activity comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. The mixture of all three extracts together in equal concentration shows more inhibitory zone as compared to other extracts.
