Abstract
Medicinal plants are most valuable source of different natural compounds and safer than the chemicals that directly used
for the treatment of high risk diseases. The compounds that present in the medicinal plants are monoterpenes, flavonoids,
and phenolics. The ultimate goal of the using of medicinal herbs are inhibiting the growth of the infectious particles that
causing variety of diseases. Medicinal plants have been used in order to control the growth of infectious bacteria in as
some of them deviling the resistance due to changing endearments for example, Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella
pneumonia. Many of the plant extracts such as N.sativa seeds have been used as natural booster for targeting the lethal
pathogens and causing the cellular toxicities While, Commelina africana L and Elephantorrhiza elephantine that binds
with living cells by damaging’s the membranes of the toxic pathogens. The production of the free radicals due to stress or
any environmental conditions may increase the risk of damage to DNA molecules. These free radicals binds to the double
binds of the DNA molecule inhibit their functions in order to replicate for further central dogma processing. It give rise
the production of peroxyl radicals species due to consecutive attack to the DNA molecule.
Keywords: Medicinal plants, Biological activities, cellular toxicities, free radicals , peroxyl radicals.

INTRODUCTION
Medicinal plants are the most valuable source
of the antioxidants, flavonoids, and variety of enzymes.
These are natural source for inhibiting the infections
caused by the different types of microbes. One the
example is the antioxidants ability to interact the
microbes in such as way that boost the immunity. These
plants also possessing the characteristics such as
adsorbing and neutralizing free radicals, by
decomposing the peroxides [1, 2]. The byproducts of
the free radicals then selected from the body in order to
reduce the toxicity problems. There is need to design
the natural products that act on the free radicals causing
agents because of their increasing interest in the
medicinal market and hence increase the overall
agricultural growth of certain crops by promoting the
beneficial rhizobacteria. While on the other hand,
increasing of the scavenging activity of certain
medicinals acting as natural herbs by replacing the toxic
chemicals in different ways both in industrial and
commercial steps. of free radicals and inhibition of
enzymes involved in free radical production [4, 5].
There are different options for extracting the
natural products but most of them are costly and les
significant due to poor separation of high quality
ingredients from the extracts. The extracts of various
medicinal plants have been used for treating the
different diseases such as diabetes, liver and lowering
of the blood pressure but the high use of toxic
chemicals in the drugs can cause serious toxicities in
