Physiochemical Evaluation, Phytochemical Screening and Chromato- Graphic Fingerprint Profile of Woodfordia Fruticosa (l.) Kurz Extracts

Antibacterial and antidiarrhoeal effects of alkaloids of Holarrhena antidysenterica WALL.

The alkaloids from the ethanolic extract of H. antidysenterica seeds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against clinical isolates of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in vitro, and their antidiarrhoeal activity on castor oil-induced diarrhoea in rats, in vivo. The plasmid DNA, whole cell lysate and outer membrane protein profile of a clinical isolate of EPEC was determined i...
