Antifungal Potential of Aqueous Extract of Boswellia carteri

Evaluation of antibacterial and wound‐healing activities of alcoholic extract of Boswellia carterii, in vitro and in vivo study

“…FTIR is perhaps the most powerful tool for identifying the types of chemical bonds (functional groups) present in compounds. 33 FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of alcohol, phenols, alkanes, alkyl, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, aromatics, nitro and amides in the alcoholic extract of BC in the different spectra ranging from 4000 to 400 cm −1 . These results were consistent with previous studies by Fatimah et al, 33 Sharma and Jana, 34 and Adebayo et al 35 It has been previously shown that BC has antibacterial properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.…”

“…In this study, the functional groups of BC extract compounds were analyzed using FTIR to determine the main active groups. FTIR is perhaps the most powerful tool for identifying the types of chemical bonds (functional groups) present in compounds 33 .

Boswellia sacra Extract-Loaded Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nano Particles: Synthesis and Biological Effects

“…Moreover, spectra showed the characteristic peaks of carboxylate COO symmetric stretching at 1388 cm −1 , stretching at 1252 cm −1 related to the C-CO-C in aryl ketone. Moreover, the 1026 cm −1 peak is associated to the ring structures of cyclohexane [32]. It can be observed that after loading Boswellia sacra extract onto MBGNs, some of the characteristic peaks of Boswellia sacra disappeared or changed their position and intensity, which indicates that the plant extract established an interaction with the bioactive glass surface.…”

“…3b. The FTIR spectra of Boswellia sacra showed peaks at 2917 cm −1 and 1662 cm −1 , corresponding to C-H stretching and C=O stretching of aryl acid [32], respectively. Moreover, spectra showed the characteristic peaks of carboxylate COO symmetric stretching at 1388 cm −1 , stretching at 1252 cm −1 related to the C-CO-C in aryl ketone.…”
