ABSTRACT:
Lantana camara, a member of the Verbenaceae family, is a robust and highly adaptable plant that thrives in a wide variety of environments. It is widely distributed across India, particularly in regions like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and other parts of the country. In addition to India, Lantana camara is also found in many countries across the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical climates. This plant typically grows in disturbed areas such as roadsides, railway tracks, agricultural fields, and canal banks, where it can outcompete other vegetation. Despite being considered a weed in some areas, Lantana camara is often cultivated as an ornamental plant due to its attractive, colourful flowers. One of the most fascinating aspects of Lantana camara is its rich chemical composition, which includes a wide variety of bioactive compounds. These compounds contribute significantly to the plant’s therapeutic effects. Some of the key constituents of Lantana camara include alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, and coumarins. Each of these compounds possesses distinct pharmacological properties that enhance the overall medicinal potential of the plant. For instance, alkaloids are known for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, while flavonoids and tannins are potent antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support the immune system. Glycosides and saponins contribute to the plant's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for treating infections and inflammatory conditions. The pharmacological activities of Lantana camara are diverse and extensive. The plant is particularly recognized for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiulcerogenic, anthelmintic, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, and antitubercular effects. These activities have made Lantana camara a subject of considerable interest in pharmaceutical and medical research. A particularly interesting feature of Lantana camara is its lavicidal activity, which has been shown to be effective against mosquito larvae. This property makes the plant a potential natural agent for controlling mosquito populations and preventing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. This aspect of the plant's utility emphasizes its potential for use in integrated pest management strategies, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
