Dear Readers and Authors,
I am pleased to bring you Volume 15, Issue 3 of Pharmacognosy Communications. In this issue, we present an evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Ficus racemosa L. leaf extracts against the acne vulgaris causing bacterium Cutibacterium acnes. We also present an examination of the anticancer properties of two high antioxidant fruits (prepared from Syzygium australe (H.L.Wendl.) B.Hyland and Syzygium leuhmannii (F. Muell.) L.A.S.Johnson fruit and leaves) against Caco2 and HeLa cell lines. In addition, this issue also presents a review that summarises the current knowledge on the antibacterial, antioxidant, and phytochemical properties of medicinal plants traditionally used in Ayurveda for managing GI infections and diarrhoeal diseases. In doing so, that review highlights gaps in the literature and indicates are that require greater research.
Our regular features are also continued in this issue. Two more high quality medicinal plant images are also included in this issue and a listing of upcoming conferences and meetings is also included. I encourage any conference organisers who would like to publicise their event to contact me with details so they can be included in future upcoming events sections of this journal. I look forward to bringing you the next issue of Pharmacognosy Communications in 3 months’ time. Keep submitting your quality research manuscripts and reviews and also consider becoming involved/submitting to the other sections (Janus Corner, Medicinal Plant Images etc.) of the journal. On behalf of the editorial board, we look forward to bringing you the next issue of Pharmacognosy Communications in 3 months’ time.
