“…However, the spectrum of antimicrobial activity depends on several factors such as plant species, part of plant (underground vs. aerial), methods of extraction (acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol, buffered methanol or water extract) or geographic region, e.g. North/South America or Asia [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

This study was designed primarily to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the extracts from fruits of six Rumex L. species: R. acetosa L., R. acetosella L., R. confertus Willd., R. crispus L., R. hydrolapathum Huds. and R. obtusifolius L. The 7 Grampositive and 7 Gram-negative bacteria strains and 5 fungal ones were tested by agar and broth dilution method. Determination of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) revealed that the extracts from R. confertus, R. crispus, R. hydrolapathum and R. obtusifolius exerted differential inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-positive bacteria — staphylococci (MIC=62.5–125 µg/mL) and Gramnegative bacteria — Escherichia coli ATCC 3521, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC=125→500 µg/mL); MIC values determined by agar dilution method were somewhat higher. The same extracts inhibited also the growth of fungi — Candida spp. or Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 9533 (MIC=250–500 µg/mL), as found by agar dilution method. The total content of polyphenols (11.66–78.36 mg/g), anthracene derivatives (0.26–12.93 mg/g) and tannins (4.00–11.16%) was also determined.

“…Applications of this species to treat scorpion and snake bites, hemorrhoids, stomachache, jaundice, infl ammatory diseases, such as gout and joint pains, and common colds have also been well documented (Zargari, 1997;Ulukanli et al, 2005;Israili & Lyoussi, 2009;Naghibi et al, 2009). Antimicrobial, antiviral and antifeedant and cytotoxic properties of various extracts of this plant have been reported (Kutas & Nadasy, 2005;Akçin et al, 2006;Orhan et al, 2009;Turkoglu et al, 2010).…”

“…This species, which has been mentioned as the name of "Kamaphytus" in the old texts of traditional medicine, is one of the species of the Lamiaceae that has been used in the Iranian traditional medicine for centuries (Naghibi et al, 2009). This plant has long been used as a diuretic, tonic, emmenagogue agent and menser remover, and for wound-healing and perspiration (Ulukanli et al, 2005).…”

Abstract:From the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Ajuga chamaepitys (L.) Schreb., Lamiaceae, one of the Iranian medicinal plants, the phenylethanoid glycoside, acteoside, and two flavone glycosides, chrysoeriol 7-Oglucopyranoside (3'-methoxy-luteolin 7-O-glucopyranoside) and apigenin 7-Orhamnopyranoside, were isolated by a combination of solid-phase extraction (SPE) and preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-RP-HPLC) methods. Structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means. The free-radical-scavenging properties of the extracts, fractions and isolated compounds were determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. While among the extracts, the MeOH extract showed the highest level of free-radical-scavenging activity (RC50 1.15 × 10 -¹ mg/mL), chrysoeriol 7-O-glucopyranoside was the most active (RC50 3.00 × 10 -³ mg/mL) among the isolated compounds. The GC-MS and the GC-FID analyses revealed α-pinene (23.66%), β-pinene (9.33%), 1-octen-3-ol (9.72%), β-phellandrene (8.70%) and germacrene-D (7.92%) as the major components of the essential oils derived from the aerial parts of this plant. The presence of phenolic glycosides and the α-and β-pinene-rich essential oils in A. chamaepitys may provide some rationale for the traditional medicinal uses of this species in Iran.

“…Though the antimicrobial activity of some Rumex species has been previously reported (Getie et al, 2003;Ulukanli et al, 2005), the activity of Rumex alpinus and Rumex caucasicus against food-borne bacteria has not been studied so far. Hence, the current study is aimed at evaluating the antibacterial effect of the aqueous and methanol extracts of this herbal plant on foodborne bacteria and comparing the efficiency against conventional antibiotic drug.…”

“…Rumex alpinus and Rumex caucasicus are perennial plants distributed in middle and eastern Anatolia at an altitude of 1000-3000 m (Cullen, 1972). The genus has been used extensively in traditional medicine in Turkey to treat a variety of disorders such as constipation, diarrhea, and eczema (Ulukanli et al, 2005). The genus also possesses laxative, diuretic, antipyretic, wound healing, and anti-inflammatory properties (Baytop, 1996;Suleyman et al, 1999).…”

This study was designed to examine the in vitro antibacterial activities of Rumex alpinus L. and Rumex caucasicus L. (Polygonacea), both known as ''kivircik labada '' or ''evelik'' in Turkey, and used to treat constipation, diarrhea, and eczema. Aerial parts of Rumex alpinus and Rumex caucasicus, extracted with water and methanol, were screened for in vitro activity by using disk diffusion assays against 121 strains belonging to 52 bacterial species. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of single compounds were determined by the microbroth dilution method. The aqueous extract of each species had no antibacterial effect against the test microorganisms, whereas the methanol extract of both species had an inhibitory effect on the growth of microorganisms. Rumex caucasicus was found to be more effective than Rumex alpinus on the tested microorganisms. This is the first report of the antibacterial potency of Rumex alpinus and Rumex caucasicus on a range of foodborne bacteria. The results provide evidence that Rumex alpinus and Rumex caucasicus might be potential sources of new antibacterial agents.
