Abstract
Gerry Turpin conducted an extensive literature review on medicinal plants used by Aboriginal people in Queensland and investigated eight Iningai and eight Mbabaram medicinal plants for their phytochemicals and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Three Mbabaram plants showed very promising preliminary results and were selected for ongoing biodiscovery projects.
