Antimicrobial activity of Arctium lappa constituents against microorganisms commonly found in endodontic infections.
This study evaluated in vitro the antimicrobial activity of rough extracts from leaves of Arctium lappa and their phases. The following microorganisms, commonly found in the oral cavity, specifically in endodontic infections, were used: Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans. The agar-diffusion method allowed detection of the...
متن کاملArctigenin: a lignan from Arctium lappa
The title compound {systematic name: (3R-trans)-4-[(3,4-dimethoxy-phen-yl)meth-yl]-3-[(4-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-phen-yl)meth-yl]-4,5-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one}, C(21)H(24)O(6), has a dibenz-yl-butyrolactone skeleton. The two aromatic rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 68.75 (7)° with respect to each other. The lactone ring adopts an envelope conformation. A series of O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bo...
متن کاملNatural Antioxidant Constituents from Selected Aromatic Plants and Their Antimicrobial Activity Against Selected Pathogenic Microorganisms
Aromatic plants contain natural antioxidant constituents such as phenolic compounds, which have attracted a great deal of public and scientific interest because of their health-promoting effects as antioxidants. Five plants, Filipendula ulmaria (meadow sweet), Crataegus monogyna (hawthorn), Polygonum aviculare (polygonum), Potentilla anserina (silverweed), and Pelargonium purpureum (little robi...
متن کاملMolecular identification of microorganisms from endodontic infections.
A relatively wide range of bacteria have been isolated from root canals using standard culture techniques. However, only 50% of the bacteria in the oral cavity are cultivable (S. S. Socransky et al., Arch. Oral Biol. 8:278-280, 1963); hence, bacterial diversity in endodontic infections is underestimated. This study used a PCR-based 16S rRNA gene assay, followed by cloning and sequencing of 16S ...
متن کاملAntibacterial and antifungal activity of endodontic intracanal medications
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The sterilization of the entire root canal system represents the main goal of every endodontist, given the fact that the control of the microbial flora is the key point of every root canal treatment. The diversity of microorganisms found inside the root canal and also the resistance of some bacterial species to intracanal medications led to a continuous development of new en...
