In these last decades, recent pharmacopeia was focused on the search of bioactive molecules, which were extracted from medicinal plants. In this study, our choice related to Moroccan variety Feijoa sellowiana (F. sellowiana). Because, this variety had not been scientifically evaluated yet. Meanwhile, its fruits were ignored by moroccan population, which could economically constitute an exploitable source. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the microbial activities of F. sellowiana. Extraction was carried out by successive exhaustion of plant materials, by using two organic solvents, hexane and acetone. Therefore, the separation of each extract was done using chromatography on column. Thereafter, the screening of secondary metabolites were done by the method of screening. According to the different results obtained during this study. All extracts have showed the presence of secondary metabolites such as saponosids, tannins, steroids and terpens. Thus, they showed antimicrobial activities except acetone extract of fruits, almost all fractions revealed as inactives on Candida albicans. However, more studies are needed to valorize the moroccan variety F. sellowiana and could be used to overcome the microbial aggressions.
Isoflavonic compounds and antioxidants from the leaves of Feijoa sellowiana Berg grown in Casablanca (Morocco) was analyzed by a sensitive and reliable ultra-fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS) method. The identified compounds were rich in phenolics compounds, thus fifteen constituents were found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
