Two new compounds, alternanthin B (1) and N-trans-feruloyl-3,5-dimethoxytyramine (2), along with four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from the aerial parts of Alternanthera philoxeroides. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The antitumor activity of the isolated compounds was also evaluated.

Plants are important components in sustaining the life of humans and animals, balancing ecosystems, providing animal feed and edible food for human consumption, and serving as sources of traditional and modern medicine. However, plants can be harmful to both animals and humans when ingested, leading to poisoning regardless of the quantity consumed. This presents significant risks to livestock health and can impede economic growth.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the allelopathic effects of Cinnamomum camphora on the invasive plant Alternanthera philoxeroides, focusing on its growth and physiological traits.
- C. camphora leaves were found to significantly suppress A. philoxeroides' asexual reproduction, with greater inhibition observed at higher temperatures and with increased leaf quantity.
- Key allelochemicals from C. camphora not only disrupted the plant's antioxidant systems but also led to reduced levels of crucial osmoregulatory substances like soluble sugar and protein, indicating a detrimental impact on A. philoxeroides' overall health.

Food and nutrition security are essential for accomplishing sustainable development goals, and a growing population requires various food sources to address hunger and nutrition. Indigenous vegetables are nutritious, healthy, and adaptable to local conditions, making them a potential food and nutrition security resource. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the nutritional richness of indigenous vegetables by comparing the nutritional content of commonly grown indigenous vegetables like Chenopodium album (Bathua), Coccinia grandis (Telakucha), Amaranthus viridis (Shaknotey), Moringa oleifera (Shojne), Alternanthera philoxeroides (Malancha), and Xanthium strumarium (Ghagra) to BARI Lalshak-1 (Amaranthus tricolor).
