Canarium odontophyllum (CO) Miq. has been considered as one of the most sought-after plant species in Sarawak, Malaysia, due to its nutritional and pharmacological benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacodynamic interaction of crude methanol and acetone extracts from CO leaves in combination with oxacillin, vancomycin, and linezolid, respectively, against MRSA ATCC 33591 as prelimina...

Barberry fruit is consumed in different forms including dried fruit, juice, jam and marmalade in Iran. This fruit is also used as a food additive (flavoring and colorant) in soup and rice dishes. In present study, antioxidant activities of acetone, ethanol and water (infusion and decoction) extracts of barberry (Berberis vulgaris) fruit were investigated using 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzo...

Extracts prepared from seeds of Manilkara zapota, Anona squamosa, and Tamarindus indica were screened for their antibacterial activity by disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. Acetone and methanol extracts of T. indica seeds were found active against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. MIC values of potent extracts against susceptible organisms ranged from 53-380 μg/mL. Methano...

Acalypha indica distributed in the southern part of India particularly in Tamilnadu has potential medicinal properties and it is used as diuretic, anthelmintic and for respiratory problems such as bronchitis, asthma and pneumonia. Phytochemical screening of leaves extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, steroids, saponins, terpenoids, flavanoids, cardiac glycosides and phenolic com...

Antibacterial activity of the Acetone, methanolic, ethanolic and DMSO extract of dried green microalgae Desmococcus olivaceous, chlorococcum humicola and chlorella vulgaris was assayed against five gram-ve (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas, Vibriocholerae, Streptococccus pyrogenes and Escherichia coli) and one gram +ve (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria under culture conditions, using the agar ...

The increasing occurrence of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus (S.) aureus tremendously limits the antibiotic-based treatment options; therefore, an open discussion of alternative treatment strategies is urgently needed. The use of naturally derived materials might become a more promising concept, not only as directly acting antimicrobials, but also for stimulation of the immune system. Costa...

A liquid chromatography-diode array detection-electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (HPLC– PDA–ESI/MS/MS) method was used for separation and characterization of the phytoconstituents of the aqueous acetone leaf extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh (Myrtaceae). The employed method was optimized for separation, identification and quantification of fifty six compounds including ellagitan...

The different solvent extracts of the leaves of Plectranthus amboinicus were evaluated for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The ethyl acetate extract of the leaves which had the highest polyphenolic content showed an appreciable DPPH radical scavenging activity as well as total antioxidant capacity as compared with extracts obtained using hexane, acetone, methanol, hydroalcohol a...

The present study was intended to determine the antioxidant, larvicidal, and cytotoxic potential of various extracts of Asplenium aethiopicum (Burm. f.) Becherer. Antioxidant potential of the extracts was determined by the DPPH radical scavenging, phosphomolybdenum, and scavenging of H2O2. Larvicidal activity of Asplenium aethiopicum was performed against the fourth instar larvae Culex quinquef...
