Antibacterial Activity of Lysimachia nummularia L. in Oro-Dental Diseases

The aim is to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal properties of extracts obtained from Lysimachia nummularia L. in order be able introduce these into pharmaceutical products obtain useful infectious pathology oro-dental cavity. Extracts different parts studied species have been chemically characterized: total polyphenols 40% ethanolic determined caffeic chlorogenic acids trans-resveratrol, bioactive compounds involved antimicrobial species, identified, separated, quantitatively determined. activities extract Lisymachia were using diffusion method against a set bacteria isolated samples patients with diseases exhibited activity Gram-positive more than Gram-negative, where effect was weaker; however, it had no effects on Candida albicans. Another aspect that must emphasized best results aerial segment plant, part highest concentration identified studies presented.
