Studies on the Antimicrobial Activity of Ormocarpum Cochinchinense Leaf Extract /PVA‐PVP Blended Polymer

Abstract

Synthetic polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was utilised as a blend with hydrogel and natural plant leaf extract Ormocarpum cochinchinense (OC). Its biodegradability and biocompatibility, have received more attention with regard to the wound dressing applications. In the present work synthesized bio composite film containing Ormocarpum cochinchinense (OC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was characterized using Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Swelling studies and antimicrobial activities were also carried out to ascertain the credibility of the blended mixture. As a result, they offer a promising source of information for studies on wound dressings.

Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Potential of Ormocarpum cochinchinense (Lour.) Merr. Leaf: An Integrated In vitro and In silico Approach

“…[18,19] The Leaf of O. cochinchinense is rich in phenols, flavonoids phytosterols, alkaloids, and terpenoids, it may exhibit antidiabetic activity. [16] Similarly, Julfikar et al, 2017, reported extract with high phenol and flavonoid exhibited antioxidant potential in diabetic rats. [20] As far as our current knowledge extends, the potential antidiabetic properties of O. cochinchinense have not been explored or studied.…”
