Actividad antimicrobiana de hongos endófitos de las plantas medicinales Mammea americana (Calophyllaceae) y Moringa oleifera (Moringaceae)

The Indo-Pak region has deep historical roots of traditional medicine. In both Pakistan and India, the local population has relied upon the Unani-Tibb (Graeco-Arabic) and Ayurveda medicinal systems for centuries. With the increase in our understanding of ethnobotany and endophytes, the significance of the traditional plants in the region has also increased. The traditional Indo-Pak plants such as Neem and Tulsi have been studied not only for their wide array of pharmaceutical activities but also for their endophytes. Extracts of different parts of neem have been used as antimicrobial, antiviral, antimalarial, anti-carcinogenic, antipyretic, anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory agents, whereas its seeds are a rich source of proteins and fatty acids. Latest researches have proved the nutraceutical potential of plants such as imli, amla and soanjna in the Indo-Pak region. Further understanding of these plants can lead to unbeatable bioactive and nutraceutical sources. In this chapter, we will focus on the traditional plants of the Indo-Pak region, their endophytes particularly the genus actinomycetes and the recent studies done on their diverse metabolites.

“…Studies have shown the potential of Mammea americana bark to treat gastrointestinal disorders, including gastric ulcers in ethanolic, methanolic, and dichloromethane extracts [ 18 ]. Antimicrobial activity performed on crude ethanolic extract of endophytic fungi of M. americana showed that it has antimicrobial effects on S. aureus and E. coli [ 21 ]. Similarly, it has been reported that the ethanolic extract of the leaves and bark of this plant also possesses antibacterial activity against S. aureus [ 22 ], while its seeds were shown to have inhibitory activity for E. coli , Pseudomonas spp., and Salmonella ssp.…”

Mammea americana L. is a plant with diverse medicinal uses in the municipality of Cértegui, Chocó, Colombia. This research characterized the ethnomedicinal, chemical, and antibacterial activities of the bark of Mammea americana. Through interviews and semistructured surveys with the community, its ethnomedicinal uses were determined. Compounds present in the bark extract were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and a qualitative analysis was performed by preliminary phytochemistry. Antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were carried out by agar diffusion and dilution methods, respectively, using ethanolic and aqueous extracts. Ethnomedical data showed that the bark is used to treat 14 conditions, the most representative being gallstones, prostate inflammation, and malaria. Preliminary phytochemical analyses showed the existence of several secondary metabolites such as tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes and/or steroids, quinones, and saponins. A total of 29 compounds were identified; the most abundant were ethyl 5-oxo-4-(p-toluidine)-2,5-dihydro-3-furancarboxylate, phenol, 4,4′,4″-ethylidynetris, nerolidol, 19-hydroxy-13-epimanoyl oxide, α-elemene, and δ-cadinene. The results showed remarkable antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (22.6 mm) and Escherichia coli (19.6 mm) and of the crude water extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (18.5 mm) and Escherichia coli (12.4 mm). The strongest MIC was for the ethanolic extract with values of 0.357 and 0.897 mg/ml against S. aureus and E. coli strains, respectively, while in the aqueous extract, S. aureus (3.99 mg/ml) and E. coli (4.3 mg/ml) were recorded. It is assumed that the compounds identified in this study could be responsible for the antibacterial activity of the species, as well as the relationship of the identified compounds and metabolites with the ethnomedical uses given by the community, providing a scientific and traditional basis for its different traditional medical uses.
