Antibacterial activities of ethanolic extract of four species of Rutaceae family

Abstract: In this study, the antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract from the leaves of four Rutaceae species, including Acronychia pedunculata, Clausena excavata, Glycosmis pentaphylla and Luvunga scandens, were performed using the agar disk diffusion method for the first time. The ethanolic extracts from the leaves of A. pedunculata and G. pentaphylla were able to resist against all six bacterial strains with zones of inhibition for Bacillus cereus (17.3±2.1 mm, 20.8±1.0 mm) Staphylococcus aureus (8.5±0.5 mm, 17.6… Show more

“…Rutaceae is another family distributed primarily in tropical and sub-tropical regions (Kubitzki et al 2011) and having vast economic value. Members of the family are traditionally used as food, appetizer, immunity enhancer, and as medicine for treating bronchitis, rheumatism, snakebites, stomatitis, toothache, and other diseases (Aldona et al 2016;Bhatia et al 2018;Van et al 2020).…”

“…Studies on several species of the genus Luvunga have been carried out. The stem and leave extract of Luvunga scandens has a cytotoxic activity (Al-Zikri et al 2016), antibacterial activity (Van et al 2020), and an aphrodisiac (Fauzi and Widodo 2019). The phytochemical content of several species of the genus Luvunga has been reported.…”
