“…Furthermore, the major constituents of E. prostrata are phytosterol, beta-amyrin, polyacetylene, caffeic acid, stigmasterol, and daucosterol [ 63 ]. Similarly, the major constituents of P. persica are vesveratrol, silymarin, quercetin, curcumin, β-sitosterol, and prunasin [ 64 ]. The IC 50 and the MIC/MBC values of extracts were weaker than the positive control (ciprofloxacin), and significantly different ( P < 0.05).…”

Background A biofilm is an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) composed of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids that impede antibiotics and immune cells, thus providing a shielded environment for bacterial growth. Due to biofilm formation, some microbes can show up to 1000 fold increased resistance towards the antibiotics than the normal planktonic forms. The study was conducted to screen the crude extracts of medicinal plants used in Nepal for their in vitro antibiofilm activities. Methods Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined by using a Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and aluminium trichloride method, respectively. Resazurin assay was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The initial antibiofilm activities and their inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were determined by the microtiter based modified crystal violet staining method. Results Out of 25 different plant extracts were used for the study, methanolic extracts of 20 plants showed a biofilm inhibition activity against five different strong biofilm producing Escherichia coli strains. Calotropis gigantea exhibited inhibition against all five different E. coli strains with IC50 values ranging from 299.7 ± 20.5 to 427.4 ± 2.7 μg/mL. Apart from that, Eclipta prostrata also showed biofilm formation inhibition, followed by Eupatorium adenophorum, Moringa oleifera, Ocimum tenuifolium, Oxalis lantifolia, Prunus persica, and Urtica parviflora. The extracts of C. gigantea, E. prostrata, Mangifera indica, O. tenuifolium, P. persica, and U. parviflora exhibited a moderate to poor MIC value ranging from 625 to 2500 μg/mL. The highest amount of phenolic content (TPC) was found in Acacia catechu followed by Morus alba, which was 38.9 and 25.1 mg gallic acid equivalents, respectively. The highest amount of flavonoid content was found in A. catechu followed by M. indica, which was 27.1 and 20.8 mg quercetin equivalents, respectively. Conclusion Extracts of C. gigantea, E. prostrata, P. persica, U. parviflora, and O. tenuifolium showed antibacterial as well as antibiofilm activity against pathogenic and strong biofilm producing E. coli. Thus, extracts or the pure compound from these medicinal plants could be used as antibiotics in the future.

“…For about 1000-2000 m above sea level, Prunus persica 12 has a wide range of biologically active compounds that are rich in Phenolic acids, flavonoids, vitamins (significantly C and A), organic acids, antholyanim, antioxidants, dietary fibers and natural sugars. 10,13,14 Prunus persica was chosen because it has many anti-disease properties like anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and antiinflammatory. 14 Moreover, the usage of natural, renewable and also low cost material, viz.…”

The Plant mediated green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted more attention among the researchers due to their physicochemical and biological properties and their immense applications in environmental, biomedical, agriculture, textile, and energy storage. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles using plants provides more advantages such as easy operation, eco-friendly, utilization of non-hazardous chemicals, less temperature or energy usage, etc. when compared to physical and chemical synthesis methods. In the present study, we propose aqueous extracts from the endemic-medicinal fruit Prunus persica L. as an efficient bioproduct for the green synthesis of silver-nanoparticles (AgNPs). The biosynthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transforms Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) High-Resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). HR-TEM gives the formation of monodispersed spherical shape with a mean diameter of 12.6 ± 3.8 nm. The SAED pattern of the nanoparticles showed that the particles were highly crystalline in nature. The purity of the synthesized AgNPs samples was studied by EDS and confirmed the presence of Ag elements corresponding to TEM images. The 2D and 3D structure images of the nanoparticle were studied and the average particle size calculation has been performed using NOVA-TX software in AFM. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the particles were crystalline in nature with face-centered cubic structure. The antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated using the resazurin assay against both Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis bacteria. The antimicrobial assay of the silver nanoparticles showed higher activity against Bacillus subtilis than Escherichia coli. Results confirmed this protocol as rapid, simple, eco-friendly and alternative to conventional physical, and chemical methods.

Bacteria are unique prokaryotic agents which carry genetic information in double stranded DNA matrix and even reside in the normal flora of human. Such bacteria sometime become the cause of human infection and disease by evading bodies protective mechanisms. Antibacterial agents are the group of materials that fight against such pathogenic bacteria, killing or reducing their metabolic activity. Meanwhile, naturally occurring plant phytochemicals are being used as antimicrobial and antibacterial agents by various group of indigenous and ethnic populations. This study was carried out to extra plot the safety, efficacy and therapeutic potency of the selected medicinal plants which are used traditionally as a source of antimicrobial, anti-bacterial and free radical scavenger. Quantitative phytochemical screening revealed that methanolic extract of Crassocephalum cripidiodes showed maximum Total Phenolic Content (TPC) of 322.16±0.01 μg GAE/mg of extract and acetone extract of Ficus semicordata showed maximum Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) of 500.35±0.045 μg QE/mg of extract. Among the selected plant extracts, the most potent antioxidant activity was revealed by methanolic extract of Crassocephalum crepidiodes with IC50 of 6.95µg which is close to that of standard ascorbic acid having IC50 4.21µg. Bacterial susceptibility assay was carried out against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the selected plants, greater zone of inhibition was shown by acetone extract of Ficus semicordata against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In conclusion, the study revealed that Ficus semicordata, Cirsium argyracanthum and Ficus hispida have anti-bacterial property against the selected bacterial strain which provide evidencebased scientific proof towards the traditional use of these plant samples in curing bacterial diseases.
