Antibacterial Activity of the Flavonoid, patulitrin isolated from the flowers of Tagetes erecta L
نویسنده
چکیده
Fresh flowers of Tagetes erecta L., the flavonoid was isolated by extraction and fractionation with different solvents. It was then identified as patulitrin (10mg/100ml) by various tests. It was then subjected to disc diffusion assay to assess its antibacterial potentials against Alcaligens faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter coli, Escherchia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus pyogenes. The flavonoid possesses antibacterial activity against all the tested strains and shows maximum zone of inhibition for Klebsiella pneumoniae (29.50 mm). T.erecta flavonoid patulitrin is one of the potential elements for therapeutic use.

Petals are an excellent model system for the study of fundamental aspects of senescence. The need of present study was felt with the aim to study the changes taking place during petal senescence in cut flowers of Tagetes erecta L. Estimation of total phenols was studied from first stage to senescent stage of Tagetes erecta L. The amount of total phenols had a decreasing trend with progressing s...

The major components patuletin and patulitrin were isolated from French marigold (florets of Tagetes patula). Patuletin and patulitrin were found to inhibit acute inflammation in mice. Oral administration of patuletin and patulitrin significantly suppressed hind-paw edema induced by carrageenin and histamine, while topical application of patuletin and patulitrin significantly inhibited ear edem...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Efficacy of Different Solvent Extracts of Tagetes erecta L. Flower, Alone and in Combination with Antibiotics
Bacteria have evolved numerous defences against antimicrobial agent and drug resistance in pathogen is on rise. This is due to rapid development of multi-drug resistance, limited anti-bacterial spectrum and adverse effects of available anti-microbial agents. This necessitates the search for new antimicrobials with diverse structures and novel mechanism of action. Flowers are mostly used for orn...
