Abstract:

Antimicrobial activity of the roots of Eranthemum roseum (Vahl) R.Br. (Dasmuli), were tested against different bacteria (including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Shigella sonnei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi (such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) by cup plate diffusion method. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of each active extract were determined. The results obtained showed strong activity of the petroleum ether extract of the roots of plant against the bacteria and fungi used as test organisms.

Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Properties of Piper ovatum Vahl.

The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the leaves of Piperovatum Vahl by hydrodistillation was analyzed by GC-MS. The main constituents found were delta-amorphene (16.5 %), cis-muurola-4(14),5-diene (14.29 %) and gamma-muurolene(13.26%). The crude extracts and isolated compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Hydroalcoholic extracts of different parts of Pi...

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Pelargonium roseum essential oil from southwest of Iran

In this work the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Pelargonium roseum leaves essential oil that grown in southwest of Iran were determined. The hydrodistilled volatile components were identified by GC/MS analysis. A total of 33 components have been identified in the oil, representing 99.38% of the total oil and citronellol (44.63%), citronellyl formate (14.22%), isomenthon (6.3...
