Antimicrobial Activity Assay and Phytochemical Study of Different Aerial Parts of Mentha Arvensis L. Collected from Dibrugarh, Assam

Abstract: Owing to the ethno-medicinal importance of Mentha arvensis L. the present study proposes in-vitro screening of different aerial parts of the plant. Instead of using whole plant, different parts of a plant can also be used which helps in sustainable management of medicinal plants. Phytochemical, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity study of young and mature leaves, inflorescence and stem of the plant was carried out using standard laboratory methods to determine their efficiency against some bacterial and fun… Show more

“…Alkaloids, phenols, and flavonoids were ubiquitous in all plants’ extracts, while M. longifolia lacked steroids and T. cordifolia lacked glycosides. The results agree with previous studies; medicinal plants are rich sources of phytochemicals, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, carbohydrates, tannins, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, and glycosides ( 59 61 ). Medicinal plants are rich in secondary metabolites, a diverse group of chemicals, which include alkaloids, glycosides, amines, insecticides, steroids, flavonoids, and related metabolites, which have been extensively used in the drug and pharmaceutical industry.…”

“…4 Junali and Saikial reported that the activity of Mentha leaf extract may be due to the presence of active compounds, such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids that stimulate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and protein leakage, leading to bacterial membrane damage. 5 The methanolic extract of M. arvensis leaves was screened for antimicrobial activity using microdilution and well diffusion methods against various bacterial pathogens such as S. aureus, P. vulgaris, E. coli, S. typhi, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae. The extract was effective at various concentrations (1:2, 1:4, and 1:8) against most of the tested bacteria, except K. pneumoniae and E. coli.…”

“…The herbaceous Mentha species are cultivated primarily for their aromatic and therapeutic qualities. [7][8][9] It has a potent, invigorating aroma. It is commonly referred to as hortel-vick, which is classified in traditional medicine as a carminative, stomachic, respiratory decongestant used to cure skin infections.…”
