Abstract EN
Despite all of the control strategies, tuberculosis (TB) is still a major cause of death globally and one-third of the world’s population is infected with TB.
The drugs used for TB treatment have drawbacks of causing adverse side effects and emergence of resistance strains.
Plant-derived medicines have since been used in traditional medical system for the treatment of numerous ailments worldwide.
There were nine major review publications on antimycobacteria from plants in the last 17 years.
However, none is focused on Southeast Asian medicinal plants.
Hence, this review is aimed at highlighting the medicinal plants of Southeast Asian origin evaluated for anti-TB.
This review is based on literatures published in various electronic database.
A total of 132 plants species representing 45 families and 107 genera were reviewed; 27 species representing 20.5% exhibited most significant in vitro anti-TB activity (crude extracts and/or bioactive compounds 0–<10 µg/ml).
The findings may motivate various scientists to undertake the project that may result in the development of crude extract that will be consumed as complementary or alternative TB drug or as potential bioactive compounds for the development of novel anti-TB drug.
