1. Melanoma : Plant part used: Sheet. Documented pharmacological profile: Acide Kojique-like.
   Selon Figueiredo CR (2014) : Pyrostegia venusta heptane extract containing saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons induces apoptosis on B16F10-Nex2 melanoma cells & displays antitumor activity in vivo. Selon Zari S (2015) : This study reviews the published literature on wound healing, Hyperpigmentant & antitumor activity of P. It has been commonly used in the traditional Brazilian medicine as a general tonic, treating many diseases such as skin diseases.
2. Osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism, oedema : Plant part used: Flower. Documented pharmacological profile: Indometacine-like.
   Selon Usman RM (2019) : ether extract was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory & analgesic effects in carrageenan-induced paw edema and anti analgesic activity effect in hot plate method. Conclusions: Hence it revealed that PV stem extracts had potent anti-inflammatory activity. Selon –Veloso CC (2012) : venusta hydroethanolic extract (PvHE) was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory & analgesic effects in carrageenan-induced paw edema, peritonitis induced by lipopolysaccharide, acetic acid-induced writhing & formalin-induced paw-licking tests in Swiss male mice.

   Selon Brito de Sousa M (2016) : One important pathogen associated with this situation is Streptococcus mutans & other important factor is this pathogen's ability to adhere firmly to the tooth surface leading to dental biofilm formation & caries development. oralis & Candida albicans was determined using the broth microdilution method. Selon Bhat M (2022) : The antimicrobial activity was done against bacterial & fungal pathogens like Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans & Candida glabrata and finally subjected to anticancer activity & cell apoptotic pathway assessment against African green monkey kidney (COS-7) cell line.
