Abstract
The Anti-Tuberculosis (Anti- TB) drugs are less effective because of emergence of Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) and extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) strains of M. Tuberculosis. Anti-TB allopathic drugs also results into side effects like Hepatitis, Hypersensitivity reaction, nausea, Vomiting etc. Medicinal plants from Ayurveda (Indian traditional Medicine system) and from foreign origin have been successfully employed to treat TB because of less toxicity and side effects than allopathic medicines. The aim of this review is to highlight some newly studied plants for anti-tubercular activity.
