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...

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...

Abstract Purpose Balanophora polyandra Griff. is a holoparasitic medicinal plant that produces compounds with antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Plant endophytic fungi are an abundant reservoir of bioactive metabolites for exploitation, increasing number novel being isolated from fungi. The present study investigated the diversity culturable roots holoparasite B. to explore active strain...

Medicinal plants, vegetables and fruits are the sources of huge number of bioactive lead/scaffolds with therapeutic and nutraceutical importance. Bioautography is a means of target-directed isolation of active molecules on chromatogram. Organic solvents employed in chromatographic separation process can be completely removed before biological detection because these solvents cause inactivation ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Drug resistant microbes are a serious challenge to human health. During the search for novel antibiotics/inhibitors from the agricultural soil, a bacterial colony was found to inhibit the growth of clinical isolates including Staphylococcus (resistant to amikacin, ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, clinafloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin and methicillin) and Candida (resistant ...

Microbial pathogens are developing resistance against existing antibiotics, stressing the urgency for discovery of new therapeutic compounds. Actinomycetes, alone produce 70-80% of the available antibiotics. The chances of isolating undiscovered strains from the terrestrial habitats have diminished so that the search for novel products has switched to rare genera of actinomycetes from normal ha...


 Purpose: The present study was done to evaluate the antimycobacterial activity of aqueous and methanol extracts nine plants viz., Buddleja saligna, Carpobrotus dimidiatus, Capparis tomentosa, Dichrostachys cinerea, Ekebergia capensis, Ficus sur, Gunnera perpensa, Leonotis leonurus Tetradenia riparia in South Africa.
 Methods: Aqueous leaves were tested vitro for their against Mycoba...
