“…The MIC ranged between 512.5mg/ml to >1025mg/ml for the aqueous extract. No inhibition of growth has been observed with the aqueous extract of Salmonella typhi, Micrococcus luteus and S. aureus 18 . Aqueous extract showed maximum inhibitory activity against A. baumannii, E. coli, S. aureus and K. pneumonia 14 .…”

Plants are being used as therapeutic agents due to the side effects caused by synthetic drugs. Medicinal plants have been used from ancient time for the treatment and wellbeing of human beings. The metabolites of the plants are considered to be effective in treating many ailments. Various dosage forms and a wide array of extracts have been used in the traditional system of medicine with potent therapeutic activity experimentally and clinically. Evolvulus alsinoides (L). L is a perennial herb with anticonvulsant, nootropic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anxiolytic, cardioprotective effects and inhibition of lipid peroxidation in pancreas. This review article is a sincere effort to put forward the therapeutical importance and phytochemistry of the plant.

“…This plant is used in traditional medicine to cure fever, cough, cold, venereal diseases, azoospermia, adenitis and dementia in East Asia, India, Africa and the Philippines. It has a known nootropic and anti-inflammatory activity[7],[8]. The aim of this study was to establish a phytochemical screening and HPTLC finger printing profile of the whole plant ethanolic extract of E. alsinoides , which may be used as a marker for quality evaluation and standardization of the drug.…”

Plants and plant-based products are the bases of many modern pharmaceuticals that are current in use today for various diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the biochemical constituents and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) finger printing of the ethanolic extract of Evolvulus alsinoides. Phytochemical screening was done by standard procedures and HPTLC method was also established to analyze alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds from the ethanolic extract of Evolvulus alsinoides. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed that ethanol extracted more secondary metabolites than other solvents. HPTLC fingerprinting analysis showed the presence of various alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols (quercetin) in the ethanolic extract. It can be concluded that Evolvulus alsinoides may serve as a source of potent antioxidants that may be used in the prevention of various diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases due to the presence of phenolic compounds. HPTLC finger print of Evolvulus alsinoides may be useful in the differentiation of the species from adulterants and act as a biochemical marker for this medicinally important plant in the pharmaceutical industry and plant systematic studies.

“…Recently, the interest in the application of the seed extract to control plant and post-harvest pathogen has increased and their potential role in food preservation is been exploited. Numerous naturally occurring antimicrobials are present in plant tissues and many studies have evaluated the antimicrobial activities of several plant extracts (Agatemor 2009, Omogbai andEze 2011).…”

Context: The importance of herbs in the management of food borne pathogens and spoilage organisms is of current interest since many plant components are bioactive and relatively safe when taken. Plant parts of Citrus reticulata and Citrullus vulgaris are used in herbal therapy in some parts of the world. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of foodborne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms to seed extracts of Citrus reticulata and Citrullus vulgaris. Materials and Methods: The antimicrobial effect of ethanol and hot water extracts of C reticulata and C vulgaris seeds were studied using agar well diffusion technique. Minimum inhibitory concentration was performed using the modified tube dilution technique. The extracts were assayed on pure cultures of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus flavus. Results: Extracts tested at various concentrations produced in-vitro antimicrobial activities against foodborne isolates of B subtilis, S aureus, S typhi, E coli, S cerevisiae and A flavus.The highest zone of inhibition was obtained from ethanol extract at 4000µg/ml against B subtilis with diameter of 25mm for C reticulata. The lowest zone of inhibition of 10mm was obtained for E coli at 4000g/ml for the hot water extract of C vulgaris. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the water extract of C reticulata and C vulgaris seeds ranged between 125-2000µg/ml. The MIC of the ethanol extract of the seeds of both plants was in the range 62.5-1000µg/ml.Comparatively, the ethanol extract of the seeds were more potent than the hot aqueous extract. The percent killing of the ethanol extract at 2000µg/ml was higher for C reticulata (45.6-100%) compared to that of C vulgaris (35.6-87.5). Conclusion:The results show that the ethanol extracts of Citrus reticulata and Citrullus vulgaris have potentential application for shelf life extension and as a pharmaceutical preparation.
