   According to Cojocariu R (2019): In the present study, we assessed the effects of CA polyphenolic extract in the psychological stress-induced rat model of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a chronic functional digestive tract disorder marked by immune & inflammatory-related disturbances of central nervous & peripheral intestinal systems, which is often associated with mood disorders including depression & anxiety.
2. Rosacea : Plant part used: Whole plant. Mentioned synergistic association: Enoxolone.
3. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: Whole plant.
   According to Laken II (n.d.): These extracts were phytochemically screened for metabolites & evaluated antibacterial activity against some pathogenic organisms Klebsilla, pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, & Pseudomonas aeruginosa using agar dilution method. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) & Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the active extract of CI shows that the extract could be a potential source of antibacterial agents. According to Ofodile LN (2010): The water & methanol extracts of the leaves of Chrysanthellum americanum were screened for antifungal activity using paper disc assay.
