Typhoid is a problematic fever, caused by Salmonella typhi. Present investigation is based upon studies of antibacterial effects of different solvent extracted samples of O. sanctum stem on growth of S. typhi. The crude extracts of stem of O. sanctum were prepared from three different solvents such as methanol, ethyl acetate and hot water. Four different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and100%) were prepared from each one of the solvent extracted sample. Agar well diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial activity of different solvent extracted samples of O. sanctum stem. Analysis of data indicates that a metabolic extract of O. sanctum stem shows maximum zone of inhibition and it was of 26mm at 100% concentration and minimum zone of inhibition was of 19mm at 50% concentration. Ethyl acetate extract of O. sanctum stem shows maximum zone of inhibition and it was of 29mm at 100% concentration and minimum was of 14mm at 25% concentration. Hot water extract of O. sanctum stem shows maximum zone of inhibition and it was of 28mm at 100% concentration and minimum zone of inhibition was of 12mm at 25% concentration. This study indicates that ethyl acetate extract of O. sanctum stem is more effective against S. typhi as compared to methanol and hot water extracted solvent. Contrary to the antibiotics or synthetic medicine associated with many side effects, this plant part can be used as a herbal medicines against Salmonella typhi infection.

Petroleum ether extract, chloroform extract, ethyl acetate extract, ethyl alcohol extract and a pure compound 6-methyl-5-cyclodecen-1-ol obtained from aerial parts of Borreria articularis were studied for their antimicrobial activities against eleven human pathogenic bacteria and four human pathogenic fungi using disc diffusion and poisoned food method respectively. Ethyl acetate extract, ethanol extracts and the pure compound 6-methyl-5-cyclodecen-1-ol exhibited good antibacterial and antifungal activity against all the pathogens tested herein. The ethanol extract and 6-methyl-5-cyclodecen-1-ol exhibited the largest zone of inhibition (20 mm) at a concentration of 2,000 ìg/disc against Escheichia coli and Vibrio cholerae respectively. In case of fungi, the crude extract of ethanol and the pure compound exhibited the highest inhibition 53.5 and 52.0% of fungal radial mycelial growth (with 100 ìg/ml medium) against Aspergillus ustus and A. ochraceus respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of the pure compound 6-methyl-5-cyclodecen-1-ol were determined by broth macrodilution method. The lowest MIC (500 μg/ml) and MBC (1,000 μg/ml) were determined against V. cholerae. However, for fungi, the lowest MIC (750 μg/ml) and MFC (1,500 μg/ml) were recorded against A. ochraceus. The results suggest that active antimicrobial agent(s) present in the extracts of B. articularis may have potential for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.

A couple of natural coumarins was identified in the seeds of two apples’ cultivars commonly known as Granny Smith and Red Delicious. The effect of the phenolic hydroxyl moieties found in these products was evaluated on the bioactivity. This evaluation included the structural alteration of these moieties into less hydrophilic ones to explore the significance of the parent moieties on the biological activity. The investigated biopotentials were antioxidant, antiproliferative, antibacterial, and antifungal effects. The antioxidant potential was investigated by detecting the ability of the natural and semisynthetic coumarins to trap the free hydroxyl and DPPH radicals. The antiproliferative potential was assessed via an MTT-depended assay versus eight cancerous-cell lines, included HeLa, SK-OV-3, AR42J, MCF-7, AB12, KYSE-30, LC540, and AMN3. The antibacterial potential was tested versus six common pathogenic bacterial strains via a well-defined disc diffusion assay. These pathogens were Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, Shigella dysenteriae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The antifungal potential was also screened by utilizing a similar microbiological technique versus three pathogenic fungi, involved Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger. It is concluded that the investigated chemical moiety has a positive influence on the antioxidant and antiproliferative potentials of the natural derivatives, and a negative one on their antibacterial and antifungal potentials.
