Antimicrobial activity in leaf, seed extract and seed oil of Jatropha curcas L. plant

Abstract: Abstract:The study on antibacterial and antifungal efficacy of leaf and seed extract and seed oil of Jatropha curcas reveals that the inhibition zones ranged from 7 to 22 mm for antibacterial and from 10 to 20 mm for antifungal activity. Among all extracts tested, seed extract showed significant activity while leaf extract showed intermediate activity against gram-positive bacteria. In case of gram-negative bacteria, seed extract and seed oil has shown some moderate activity whereas, no activity was observed i… Show more

“…These differences could be attributed in part to the great complexity of the double membrane-containing cell envelope in Gram-negative bacteria compared to the single membrane structure of the positive ones [ 53 , 54 ]. These differences may be attributed also to the presence of the lipopolysaccharides in the outer membrane of the Gram-negative bacteria, which make them inherently resistant to external agents, such as hydrophilic dyes, antibiotics, detergents, and lipophilic compounds [ 14 , 55 ]. However, the ability of EOs to disrupt the permeability barrier of cell membrane structures and the accompanying loss of chemiosmotic control is the most likely reason for its lethal action [ 56 ].…”

“…Jatropha leaves contain phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins (Oskoueian et al, 2011), and alkaloids (Gupta et al, 2011). In Sisunandar's research, he said that there was antibacterial activity in the Chinese castor leaf extract (Sisunandar, 2002).…”

“…ALC: Extracto de alcaloides, JPC: Corteza de J. platyphylla y JPH: Hoja de J. platyphylla. con efecto sobre este patógeno se encuentra en baja concentración (Gupta et al, 2011a;Sharma et al, 2016). En un estudio anterior se reportó que los extractos metanólicos del fruto de J. curcas son capaces de inhibir el crecimiento solo a concentraciones mayores de 10 mg/mL contra Colletotrichum gloesosporioides aislado de papaya (Rahman et al, 2011).…”
