Sargassum polycystum is a brown seaweed, which has been reported to contain various phytoconstituents especially antimicrobial properties. However, the study on phytochemical components and biological activities of S. polycystum are yet fully understood. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to evaluate the best extraction solvents for S. polycystum and to determine the percentage of phytocomponents obtained in the n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol extracts of S. polycystum via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. S. polycystum was collected from the coastal area of Sabah, Malaysia. After collection, it was rinsed, dried and extracted with n-hexane, DCM and methanol by soxhlet extraction. The fatty acid compounds (FAME) analysis was done using The Perkin Elmer Turbo Mass Spectrometer.  This study showed that methanol is the most efficient solvent as it produced the highest extraction yield with 3.83%, followed by n-hexane with 1.69% and lastly DCM with 0.59% in S. polycystum. On top of that, this study has found 19 phytocomponents in all extraction methods of S. polycystum, which have been proven to possess antibacterial constituents such as palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, pentadecanoic acid and behenic acid as assessed by GC-MS analysis.

Background: As a result of high percentage of women infected with urinary tract infection (UTI) annually, many rural dwellers use Adansonia digitata fruit pulp as herbal cure. Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae) is one of the great trees idolised in Africa because of its therapeutic properties.Aim: This study aimed at identifying chemical compounds in the ethylacetate fraction of the baobab fruit pulp and indicated their biological activities to justify its use for the folkloric treatment of UTI.Methods: The crude extract from Baobab fruit pulp was partitioned and ethylacetate extract was used for assay. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis was performed to identify the bioactive compounds in the ethylacetate fraction, antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays whilst the total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by already adopted protocols. The antibacterial properties were tested against some urinary tract pathogens using macro broth dilution method.Results: A total of 36 bioactive compounds were identified by GC–MS analysis, most of them have been reported as antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antiasthma, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents. The extract exhibited highest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 19582 (1.22 mg/mL) whilst Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 (˃ 8.6 mg/mL) displayed high level of resistance amongst the five bacterial isolates used in this study.Conclusion: These findings indicated that the extract contained bioactive compounds of therapeutic importance with significant antioxidant and antibacterial potentials and justify the folkloric use of this fruit in the treatment of UTIs by many African dwellers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces omiyaensis SCH2. The chemical constituents of the extract were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Methods: Secondary metabolites from S. omiyaensis were produced by submerge fermentation using ISP2 medium with 3% NaCl (w/v) for 21 days. The culture filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The chemical constituents were detected in the GC-MS analysis. Antibacterial activity was performed using disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by determining the reducing power capacity and free radical scavenging assays.Results: The GC-MS analysis of the SCH2 extract revealed the presence of four compounds. The main constituents were 2-phenylacetamide (79%). The extract exhibited the highest zone of inhibition against some pathogenic bacteria such as Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis. In addition, the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (IC) and minimum bactericidal concentration values of extract were obtained for E. cloacae (0.125 and 4 mg/ml). The extract showed antioxidant potential with IC50 values of 2.078.13±24.58 μg/ml and 475.74±4.56 μg/ml for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl and 2,2′-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid] assays, respectively. The ferric reducing antioxidant power value of extract was 110.36±1.75 mmol FeSO4.7H2O/g extract.Conclusion: This study indicated that S. omiyaensis extract possesses antibacterial and antioxidant activities. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of major chemical constituents, acetamide, and pyrrolopyrazine which could be responsible for the biological activities. S. omiyaensis extract could be used as a potential of natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents for pharmaceutical and medical applications.
