Antifungal and cytotoxic activities of selected medicinal plants from Malaysia.
This study was conducted to investigate the antifungal potential and cytotoxicity of selected medicinal plants from Malaysia. The extracts from the stem of Cissus quadrangularis and the leaves of Asplenium nidus, Pereskia bleo, Persicaria odorata and Sauropus androgynus were assayed against six fungi using p-iodonitrotetrazolium-based on colorimetric broth microdilution method. All the plant ex...
متن کاملRadical Scavenger and Antioxidant Activities of Selected Medicinal Plants
Oxidative damage that results in lipid peroxidation can inactivate cellular components and can have serious effects on the cells, probably leading to ageing as well as several diseases. In recent years much attention has been focused on this subject, especially in the field of clinical medicine. Several natural compounds from plants exhibit antioxidant and/or radical scavenger properties. It al...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of selected South African medicinal plants
BACKGROUND Nearly 3,000 plant species are used as medicines in South Africa, with approximately 350 species forming the most commonly traded and used medicinal plants. In the present study, twelve South African medicinal plants were selected and tested for their antimicrobial activities against eight microbial species belonging to fungi, Mycobacteria, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. ...
متن کاملAntioxidant, Metal Chelating, Anti-glucosidase Activities and Phytochemical Analysis of Selected Tropical Medicinal Plants
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the antioxidant potentials and anti-glucosidase activities of six tropical medicinal plants. The levels of phenolic constituents in these medicinal plants were also quantified and compared. Antioxidation potentials were determined colorimetrically for scavenging activities against DPPH and NO radicals. Metal chelating assay was based on the mea...
