The present study targeted to evaluate the phytoconstituents of Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn., and its biological activity. By solvent extraction procedure, a total of four extracts were designated from the leaf and bark of the plant using two solvents (leaf extract in ethyl acetate and methanol: NALE & NALM; bark extract in ethyl acetate and methanol: NABE & NABM). Phytochemical screening was conducted by qualitative analysis and thin-layer chromatography. Parallelly, antioxidant property (by DPPH free radical scavenging method) and antimicrobial activity (by disk diffusion method) were also investigated to determine bioactivity. The presence of alkaloids and glycosides was detected by qualitative phytochemical assay of the extracts. Furthermore, TLC successfully observed the versatility of the compound's presence, such as phenolic compounds, different alkaloids, and glycosides. In DPPH assay, methanolic extracts are highly capable of scavenging the radicals than the ethyl acetate extracts. Surprisingly, IC50 for NABM (1.69 µg/ml) is less than ascorbic acid (3.58µg/ml), which is an exploration of the excellent antioxidant potential of the plant. But any extracts showed no positive result in the antimicrobial test against gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, even against yeast.

Background: Emerging resistant Candida species become a severe problem for public health. The study aims to examine the efficacy of Terminalia subspathulata bark and fruit extracts as an alternative source of antifungals for resistant strains of Candida species. Methodology: Candida albicans was isolated between 4–5th interdigital foot space and C. parapsilosis were isolated from the left-hand third finger of male patients. Morphological and molecular methods identified the isolates. Antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) was determined using azole derivatives, amphotericin B (AmpB) and echinocandins based on E-test and broth microdilution (BMD) methods. The AFST activity of the 10 μL methanolic extracts with concentrations between 1.25–10 mg/mL was assessed by disk diffusion method according to CLSI guidelines. Results: The AFST results showed total resistance to all azoles (FLU, MIC ≥ 256 μg/ml and VOR, ITR and POS each with MIC ≥ 32 μg/ml). The BMD method agreed with E-test MICs. The T. subspathulata bark extract tested indicated activity on the C. albicans lawn with the zone of inhibition between 9–13 mm. The fruit extract indicated zone between 8–10 mm. Candida parapsilosis indicated susceptibility to bark extract with the zone of inhibition between 10–15 mm, while the fruit extract showed zone between 8–13 mm. Conclusion: Despite azole resistance, the extracts showed good activity against the isolates. Findings showed alternatives to AmpB and echinocandins because of toxicity and parenteral administration, respectively. Based on our findings, our study first reports the medicinal value of T. subspathulata.

Ulam is a group of traditional Malay vegetables, which is typically consumed raw and recognized as a popular dish in Malay culture. A number of previous studies have highlighted that Ulam are commonly used by the Malaysian natives in treating stomach pain. However, the findings have not yet been scientifically proven. The aim of this study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of four types of Ulam, Anacardium occidentale, Solanum tarvum, Diplazium esculentum, and Euodia redlevi against three gastroenteric pathogens isolated from patients involved in gastroenteritis outbreak which were obtained from the National Public Health Laboratory, Sungai Buloh. Three methods were applied in this research. The first one was the phytochemical screening to test the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and phenols in the methanolic extracts of the four plants. The second method was determining the total phenolic content (TPC) using the Follin-Ciocalteu method and thirdly, the Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion method, to test the antimicrobial activity of all plant extracts. Phytochemical screening reveals the presence of all constituents in the four extracts. The Ulam extracts also have shown positive results in inhibiting the activity of three enteric pathogens, indicated by the presence of a zone of inhibition. The evidence from this study suggests that the four Malaysian salads (Ulam), which are commonly used by Malaysian natives as herbal remedies in treating stomach pain, does contain the bioactive compounds that are the potential to be natural antibacterial in treating gastrointestinal tract disease.
