Gen info
- Phyllanthus is the largest genus in the flowering plant family Phyllanthaceae. The number of the species in the genus vary widely,  from 759 to 1200.  (41)
- Despite the variety, almost all Phyllanthus species has a specific type of growth called "phyllanthoid branching" in which the vertical stems  bear deciduous, floriferous (flower-bearing), plagiotropic (horizontal or oblique) stems.  Leaves on main vertical areas are reduced to scales called "cataphylls", while others develop normally. (41)

Botany
Malatinta is an erect or somewhat climbing and many-branched shrub, 1.5 to 5 meters high, or a small tree growing up to 5 meters high. Leaves are alternate along slender branches, pale beneath, oblong to elliptic-oblong, 1.5 to 4 centimeters long. Flowers are solitary or few in each axil, 2 to 3 millimeters long, green and tinged with purple. Fruit is depressed-globose, 5 to 7 millimeters in diameter, soft, fleshy, smooth and purple-black when mature.

Distribution
- Common in thickets at low and medium altitudes throughout the Philippines.
- Occurs in India to southern China and in Taiwan, southward through Malaya to Timor and Celebes.

Studies
Antiplasmodial Activity:
In a study of 16 extracts of four Kenyan medicinal plants being screened for phytochemicals and antiplasmodial activity, P reticulatus and S zanzibariensis showed the most activity against the tested strains. (1)
Analgesic / Anti-Inflammatory Activity: Study showed extracts of P reticulatus using acetic acid-induced writhing test and carrageenan-induced rat paw edema model, showed significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. (2)
Antidiabetic Activity: Study of petroleum and ethanolic extracts of P reticulatus showed antidiabetic activity at dose of 1000 mg/kg. Phytochemical screening revealed terpenoids glycosides, protein, carbohydrates and absence of alkaloids and steroids.
Hepatoprotective Activity / Aerial Parts: Study of fat free ethanol extract of the aerial parts of P reticulatus showed promising hepatoprotective activity evidenced by changes in pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, changes in liver enzymes and histopathologic changes.
(5)
Cytotoxic Activity: In a study screening the cytotoxicity of some medicinal plants, Phyllanthus reticulatus exhibited strong brine shrimp lethality.
(6)
Hypocholesterolemic / Oxidative Stress Effect: Study evaluated the effect of P. reticulatus aqueous extract on lipid profile and oxidative stress in hypercholesterolemic albino rats. It was effective in controlling total cholesterol, lipid profile and oxidative stress in the animals. Results suggest a preventive potential for prevention of atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic patients.
(8)
Antinociceptive / Hypoglycemic: Methanol extract exhibited beneficial effects as a pain reliever and in reducing the elevated blood glucose level of hyperglycemic mice.
(9)
Antioxidant / Hypoglycemic: Methanol extract exhibited potent antioxidant activity. Its natural origin and potent free radical scavenging activity presents a potential preventive intervention for free radical mediated diseases.
Anti-Hepatitis B Viral Activity: Study of two organic fractions of a fat free ethanolic extract showed anti-HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) activity at high concentrations. The activity may be due to binding of the agents with the antibody binding sites on HBsAg.
(11)
Anti-Inflammatory / Fruit: Study evaluated a hydroalcoholic extract of ripe fruit for anti-inflammatory activity by carrageenan-induced hind paw edema in rats. Results showed significant anti-inflammatory activity with significant (P<0.01) reduction of paw volume when compared to diclofenac sodium.
(12)
Anti-Inflammatory / Leaves: Study evaluated petroleum ether and methanolic extracts of leaves of P. reticulatus for anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. Results showed the PE extract to have significant and higher activity than the methanolic extract.
(13)
Radical Scavenging Activity: Study evaluated a methanolic extract of the plant for free radical scavenging activity in different in vitro models. Results showed antioxidant activity attributed to the presence of methanol extractable phenolic compounds and other constituents.
(14)
Hypoglycemic / Roots: Study evaluated petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of roots for hypoglycemic activity in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Results showed good hypoglycemic activity at 1000 mg/kg dose. Phytochemical screening yielded terpenoids glycosides, protein, carbohydrates, with an absence of alkaloids and steroids.
(16)
Antidiabetic / Antidiarrheal / Leaves: Study evaluated the anti-diabetic and antidiarrheal activity of a methanol extract of leaves in alloxan induced diabetic mice. Results showed significant hypoglycemic activity in OGTT. There was significant effect in controlling diarrhea in castor oil and magnesium induced diarrheal tests.
(20)
Antimicrobial / Cytotoxicity / Scopoletin / Stem Bark: Study isolated scopoletin from the chloroform fraction of methanol extract of stem bark. All partitionates tested showed moderate to strong inhibitory activity to microbial growth while the chloroform soluble fraction showed strongest cytotoxicity in brine shrimp lethality assay.
(21)
Anti-Inflammatory / Antinociceptive / CNS Depressant / Leaves: Study of methanol extract of leaves showed significant dose dependent CNS depressant activity (hole cross test and open field test), anti-inflammatory (carrageenan induced paw edema), and analgesic (acetic acid induced writhing) properties.
(23)
• Natural Indicator in Acid Base Titration: Study showed the fruit extract can be useful, economical, simple, and accurate for acid base titration. (25)
• Antibacterial / Leaves: Study evaluated the antibacterial activity of various (ethanol, PE, and choloroform) extracts of P. reticulatus leaves against four gram negative (S. dysenteriae, S. typhi, P. aeruginosa, and S. sonnei) and six gram positive bacteria (Sarcina lutea, Bacillus megaterium, B. subtilis, B. cereus, S. aureus, and Streptococcus ß-hemolyticus). All the extracts produced various zones of inhibition against all tested bacteria with the ethanol extract showing better potency. (26)
• Nootropic Effect / Fruit: Study evaluated the nootropic effect of ethanolic extract of P. reticulatus on cognitive functions, brain antioxidant enzymes, and acetylcholinesterase activity in aluminum-induced impairment and oxidative stress in Swiss albino rats. Results showed the fruit extract at 100 and 200 mg/kbw markedly (p<0.01 and p<0.01) decreased the level of AChE activity and showed excellent nootropic effect on cognitive performance and brain antioxidant markers. Results suggest a potential for the management of neurodegenerative diseases especially Alzheimer's disease. (27)
• Anti-Cancer Activity / Colon Cancer Cell Line: Study evaluated the anti-cancer properties of P. reticulatus by MIT assay of in-vitro colon cancer cell lines-HT-29. Results showed an anti-cancer effect with the aqueous extract showing 50% cell viability at 15.6 mg/ml, while an ethanol extract showed 31.2 mg/ml. (29)
• Antiarthritic / Polyprenol: Study evaluated the in vitro, in vivo, and in silico antiarthritic activity of polyprenol, a phytoconstituent isolated from the leaves of Kirganelia reticulata. The isolated polyprenol showed potent dose-dependent antiarthritic effect possibly through maintenance of synovial membrane and vascular permeability with subsequent inhibition of cytokines and leukotrine infiltration inhibition.  (30
• Antimicrobial / Analgesic / Leaves: Study evaluated leaf extracts for antimicrobial and analgesic activities in Swiss albino mice. Antimicrobial screening of methanol and water soluble fractions showed 11 mm zones of inhibition against gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, compared to standard gentamicin of 16 mm. Analgesic evaluation of methanolic, petroleum ether and dichlormethane fractions showed significant activities with inhibition of writhing of 74%, 77%, and 65%, respectively. Results suggest peripheral analgesic activity via inhibition of local peritoneal receptors or arachidonic acid pathways, involving cyclo-oxygenases and/or lipoxygenases. (32)
• Immunostimulant / Leaves and Fruits: Study evaluated hydroalcoholic extract of fruit and leaves for immunostimulant activity on albino mice by neutrophil adhesion test, carbon clearance, and cyclophosphamide induced myelosuppression. Results showed both plant parts trigger specific and non-specific responses. (33)
• Antioxidant / Whole Plant Powder: Study evaluated the antioxidant activity of the entire plant by in vitro assays i.e., DPPH, ß-carotene bleaching, superoxide radical scavenging, reducing power, and metal chelating assays. The entire plant showed good antioxidant activity of about 90% compared with standard BHT with 85%. The methanolic extract showed higher antioxidant activity than ethanolic extracts. (34)
• Hepatoprotective / Paracetamol Toxicity / Aerial Parts: Study evaluated the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effect of P. reticulatus aerial parts again paracetamol induced hepatitis. An ethanol extract brought back the altered biochemical markers to near normal levels comparable to standard Silymarin. Extract also showed significant antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. (36)
• Antifungal / Inhibition of Ergosterol Synthesis / Leaves: An ethanol et of P. reticulatus leaves showed good antifungal activity compared to other extracts, with MIC and MFC of 62.5 and 250 µg/mL against M. pachydermatitis and T. rubrum, respectively. The extract significantly lowered the release of ergosterol by 16.37%. Results showed potential for future development as antidermatophytic. (38)
• CuO Nanospheres / Antioxidant / ntibscterial / Leaves: Study reports on the eco-friendly, cost-effective and easy synthesis of CuO NSP  using leaf extracts of Phyllanthus reticulatus and Conyza bonariensis. The methanolic extract of plant exhibited excellent anitoxidant property compared to CB. The CB based  CuO NSP showed amazing antibacterial activity. (40)
