Ethanolic extracts of 45 Indian medicinal plants traditionally used in medicine were studied for their antimicrobial activity against certain drug-resistant bacteria and a yeast Candida albicans of clinical origin. Of these, 40 plant extracts showed varied levels of antimicrobial activity against one or more test bacteria. Anticandidal activity was detected in 24 plant extracts. Overall, broad-...

Noni contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tripertinoid, protein, lime, iron, carotene, glycosides antarkiron. The content of anthraquinin, scaloptin, flavonoid and adaptogen compounds are active that have antifungal antimicrobial effects. antibiotics commonly used such as tetracycline, clindamycin others. These chemical-based antibacterials many negative side effects, therefore other alternatives ne...

Background & Aims: Today, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance against conventional antibiotics is increasing. Many researchers consider plants with antimicrobial properties as a good alternative. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Ajuga chamaecistus Ging. Subsp. Scoparia (Bioss) Rech. f. on 8 bacterial strains wasinvestigated. Methods: The leaf extract was prepared by methanolic...

For more than 1000 years green tea has been used in China and Japan as a medical herb and a healthful beverage.

Background Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant and Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant included in the list of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens from WHO. As multidrug-resistant bacteria problem is increasing, it is necessary to probe new sources for identifying antimicrobial compounds. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. One of the potential plant...

Paederia foetida Linn. is a rich source of active compounds, yet its antioxidant and cytotoxic properties remain poorly studied. This current research aimed to investigate the chemical profiles crude extract derived from P. leaves, fractionated substances, their on MCF-7 cells, breast carcinoma cell. Six substances have been separated in thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate. Five fractions sho...

The present study investigated the chemical constituents isolated from Azadirachta indica chloroform extract. extraction of leaves was done using Soxhlet apparatus. To isolate and identify antibacterial fraction extract, TLC-bioautography carried out. Phenol 3,5-bis (1,1-dimethyl ethyl), Phthalic acid bis (7-methyloclyl), Dido decyl phthalates, Oxalic acid, allyl hexadecyl ester, 2-Piperidinone...

Background: Essential oils constitute a major class of natural products. They possess various biological activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, analgesic, and antimicrobial have immense application in food, cosmetics pharmaceutical industries. In the current study, essential were extracted from six medicinal plants including Myristica fragrans (endosperm seed or karnel mace), Illicium...
