The aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Leucas aspera were investigated for their action on experimental inflammation and on mast cell degranuatlion. Both the extracts exhibited significant antiinflammatory action of acute and chronic inflammation. The mast cell drgranulation induced by proprancolol and Carbachol was effectively prevented by pretreatment with Leucas aspera extracts.

Dermatophytosis is a cutaneous infection that is able to degrade the keratinized tissues of the animal/human body, like skin, nails, and hair, causing chronic or subacute infection with the contact of some specific fungal strains. Trichophyton mentagrophytes are the most potential fungal pathogen causing dermatophytoses. The present study focuses on computationally based in silico antifungal activity of selected phytocompounds of Leucas aspera (Willd.

A phytochemical investigation of involved the isolation of flavones and steroids, along with triterpenoids. The identified chemical constituents were characterized as baicalein, baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide, lup-20(29)-ene-3α,23-diol, β-sitosterol, and stigmasterol. Notably, baicalein (4) and baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide (5) demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity at a low minimum inhibitory concentration against , , and .

The cost-effective novel Ag-doped (1-7%) (CuO-CuO)Cu (C3) heterostructured nanocomposites are successfully synthesized by the facile solution combustion process using the extract as a green fuel. The structural properties of fabricated nanocomposites were well-characterized by specific spectral techniques for enhanced electrochemical sensor detection, antibacterial activities, and sunlight-driven photocatalytic dye decoloration studies. The existence of Ag ions has been confirmed by the appearance of two peaks of Ag 3d (367.
