Antibacterial and phytochemical studies on twelve species of Indian medicinal plants

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Analysis of phytochemical profile of Terminalia arjuna bark extract with antioxidative and antimicrobial properties

“…Botanical medicines or phytomedicines refer to the use of seeds, berries, leaves, bark, root or flowers of any plant for medicinal purposes by significant number of people. Knowledge of the chemical constituents of plants is desirable because such information will be value for synthesis of complex chemical substances [4][5][6] .…”

Phytochemical Analysis, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory and Anti Bacterial Activities of Berberis Lycium.

“…With proline-rich protein tannins have been found to form irreversible complexes (Shimada, 2006) resulting in the inhibition of cell protein synthesis. (Parekh and Chanda, 2007) reported that tannins are known to react with proteins to deliver the typical tanning effect which is essential for the treatment of ulcerated or inflamed tissues. Herbs that have tannins as their key components are astringent in nature and are used for treating intestinal disorders such as dysentery and diarrhea (Dharmananda, 2003).Tannins and their derivatives are phenolic compounds considered to be primary antioxidants or free radical scavengers (Barile et al, 2007).…”

Development of Herbal-Silver Nano Composite (HSNC): Antibacterial Evaluation and Investigation of fnb A and fnb B Genes Coding Fibronectin-binding Proteins in Staphylococcus aureus

“…The development of bacterial resistance to presently available antibiotics has necessitated the search for new antibacterial agents (Parekh and Chanda, 2007). Therefore there is a need to develop alternative antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of infections obtained from various sources such as metal nanoparticles and medicinal plants.…”
