“…Rubia tinctorum L. inhibited completely the radial growth of A. dauci and A. rabiei (Table 1) and these results are in accordance with the literature data inherent the antimicrobial activity of root extract of this plant (Manojlovic et al 2005;Kalyoncu et al 2006). A similar case was showed by the extracts from in vitro grown shoots of Quillaja saponaria that proved effectiveness against Botrytis cinerea (Ribera et al 2008).…”

The effect of plant essential oils, Solanum chilense and Aster sedifolius raw saponins, plant-derived colourants and Brassica carinata glucosinolate-containing tissues, for the control of seedborne fungi Alternaria dauci, Alternaria radicina, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Ascochyta rabiei, was evaluated. In vitro assays indicated that oregano essential oil, bark chestnut-derived colourant and B. carinata meals, showed a large spectrum of activity against all pathogens. S. chilense raw saponins were effective against A. dauci and A. radicina, while those from A. sedifolius also inhibited significantly C. lindemuthianum. Screening showed the antifungal potential of natural compounds.

“…The highest MIC and MBC values is an indication that either the plant extracts are less effective on some bacteria or that the organism has the potential of developing antibiotic resistance, while the low MIC and MBC values for other bacteria is an indication to the efficacy of the plant extract. The result of this study was in agreement with other researches which showed antimicrobial activity of ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate and water extract of R. tinctorum by disc diffusion method, from this study it was found that R. tinctorum revealed antimicrobial activity against some gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi and actinomycetes [30]. These MIC values for the different bacteria though relatively high, are definitely demonstrative of the potential clinical use [31].…”

This study provides a scientific information about the aqueous and methanol extracts of Rubia tinctorum based on its antimicrobial potential against gram positive and gram negative bacteria isolated from burns infection using the broth dilution and well diffusion method. Results of this study indicate the presence of many phytochemicals which have antimicrobial activity against broad spectrum of bacteria. The methanol extract of R.tinctorum showed highest activity than aqueous ones. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the aqueous extract on the tested organisms was 25-100mg/ml while in the methanol extract ranged between 25-50mg/ml on the tested organisms and the minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) of the aqueous extract was 25-200 mg/ml while the methanol extract ranged between 25-100 mg/ml. The highest activity of methanol extract demonstrated at 100 C o , 121 C o agai nst S.aureus, K.spp, A.hydrophila, and S.marcescens, while there was low activity against S.dysenteria and E.coli. The activity of plant extract increased at acidic pH5-3 whearus, there are slightly increased of plant extract at alkaline pH 8. R.tinctorum contained. essential element (Pb, Na, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, P, Mn, Co and Cu) at different concertation. The high preformance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) analysis of R. tinctorum showed some chemical compounds that have antimicrobial activity against test isolates. The result of this study demonstrate that HPLC analysis of R.tinctorum constituent revealed that htis plant have antimicrobial activity against test organism and this may be suggest the use at this extract in treatment of infections disease.

“…The results of this study seem to provide a support for the traditional medicine use of Rubia tinctorum as antidiarrhoeal agent. This support is accented by an Antimicrobial activity study which revealed that the aqueous extract of Rubia tinctorum L. roots exhibited an antibacterial activity against a number of pathogenic bacterial strains that cause diarrhoea (Kalyoncu, et al, 2006). …”

“…In Morocco Rubia tinctorum L. roots have been used as antidiarrheic, it has been also used in blood diseases, and reputed as aphrodisiac (Bellakhdar, 1997). The plant is reported to possess antimicrobial (Kalyoncu et al, 2006), antifungal activities (Manojlovic et al, 2005) and endowed with diuretic and stone inhibitory activities (Wijnsma et al, 1986).…”

The Anti-diarrhoeal effect of aqueous extract of Rubia tinctorum L. (Rubiaceae) roots in rodents was examined. At doses 300, 600 and 800 mg/kg aqueous extract protected rats, in a dose-dependent fashion, against castor oil-induced diarrhoeal dropping by 37, 59 and 64% respectively. Furthermore, it has significantly inhibited by 41% the gastrointestinal transit of charcoal in mice at 800 mg/kg dose of extract. These data suggest that Rubia tinctorum showed antidiarrhoeal activity by inhibiting intestinal motility which was concordant with its use in traditional medicine.
