A review of the plants of the genus Phyllanthus: their chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutic potential.
    Medicinal research reviews, 1998, Volume: 18, Issue:4

    The plants of the genus Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) are widely distributed in most tropical and subtropical countries, and have long been used in folk medicine to treat kidney and urinary bladder disturbances, intestinal infections, diabetes, and hepatitis B. In recent years, the interest in the plants has increased considerably. Substantial progress on their chemistal and pharmacological properties, as well as a few clinical studies of some Phyllanthus species have been made. This review discusses the current knowledge of their chemistry, the in vitro and in vivo pharmacological, biochemical, and clinical studies carried out on the extracts, and the main active constituents isolated from different species of plants of the genus Phyllanthus. These studies carried out with the extracts and purified compounds from these plants support most of their reported uses in folk medicine as an antiviral, in the treatment of genitourinary disorders, and as antinociceptive agents. However, well-controlled, double-binding clinical trials are lacking. Several compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, lignans, phenols, and terpenes were isolated from these plants and some of them interact with most key enzymes. Together this data strongly supports the view that the plants belonging to the genus Phyllanthus have potential beneficial therapeutic actions in the management of hepatitis B, nefrolitiase, and in painful disorders.

    Epidemic modeling has been a key tool for understanding the impact of global viral outbreaks for over two decades. Recent developments of the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated research using compartmental models, like SI, SIR, SEIR, with their appropriate modifications. However, there is a large body of recent research consolidated on homogeneous population mixing models, which are known to offer reduced tractability, and render conclusions hard to quantify. As such, based on our recent work, introducing the heterogeneous geo-spatial mobility population model (GPM), we adapt a modified SIR-V (susceptible-infected-recovered-vaccinated) epidemic model which embodies the idea of patient relapse from R back to S, vaccination of R and S patients (reducing their infectiousness), thus altering the infectiousness of V patients (from
