In the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity in the leaf extracts of Mentha piperita L. against pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aureus, Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Serratia marcesens and Streptococcus aureus. The aqueous as well as organic extracts of the leaves were found to posses strong antibacterial activity against a range of pathogenic bacteria as reve...

THE ANTILEISHMANIAL ACTIVITY OF THREE ORGANIC SOLVENT EXTRACTS AND WATER RESIDUE OF THE PLANTS: Acacia nilotica (Mimosaceae) (husk), Ambrosia miratima (Astraceae) (aerial shoot) and Azadarichta indica (Meliaceae) (leaves) were tested in vitro against Leishmania donovani promastigotes. The study revealed that the extracts of A. nilotica and A. miratima have effectious antileishmanial activity at...

the aim of the present research was focused on the antibacterial, preliminary phytochemical and pharmacognostical properties of vicoa indica (l.)dc. via in vitro approach. the aqueous and organic solvent (hexane, chloroform and methanol) extracts from the leaves of vicoa indica (asteraceae) were tested against escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, salmonella typhi, vibrio parahaemolyticus, v...

Different organic and aqueous extracts of leaves of Cassia occidentalis L (Caesalpiniaceae) were screened for their antimicrobial activity against seven human pathogenic bacterial and two fungal strains by disk diffusion assay. The pattern of inhibition varied with the solvent used for extraction and the microorganism tested. Among these extracts, methanol and aqueous extracts showed significan...

Gastrointestinal (GI) mimic and organic solvent extracts of whole soybean powder (WSP), soy protein concentrate (SPC), and soy protein isolate (SPI) as well as soy isoflavone concentrate (SIC) were analyzed for total phenols; quinone reductase (QR) induction in hepa1c1c7 cells; antioxidant scavenging of DPPH, HOCl, ONOO(-), and O(2) (-.); and total antioxidant capacity via FRAP and ORAC assays....

The antibacterial effect of aqueous extracts at a concentration of 1% (v/v) and 5% (w/w) of oregano, marjoram, sage and licorice herbs, widely used as soft drinks and food flavors, were evaluated against E. coli and B. subtilis under in vitro conditions in tryptone soya yeast extract broth at 35°C and in milk and labneh respectively. All tested herbal aqueous extracts demonstrated an inhibitory...

Successive solvent extract viz., petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol, ethanol and water extracts of bark of Betula utilis D. Don was evaluated for antibacterial activity, against fourteen important bacterial strains by agar-well diffusion method. Methanol extract was showed significant activity against all the tested bacteria followed by ethanol and aqueous extract. Chloroform and Petroleum e...
