COMPARATIVE STUDY OF IN VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF <i>FOENICULUM VULGARE</i> MILL. (UMBELLIFERAE) EXTRACT

Abstract

The importance to push scientifically the investigations on the organic extracts of the plants aromatic as potential source of new antimicrobial compounds comes from the traditional use of the plants. However, the consumption of these natural products requires à thorough research in this field. The antimicrobial effect of organic and aqueous leaves extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., However, which makes difficult this antimicrobial activity, is the insolubility of organic extracts in water. The standard M27-T technique is basically used to cure this problem. The microorganisms under examination were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus hirea, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The M27-T technique allowed us to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of different extracts. Therefore, the test's results showed that the all samples were clearly different in terms of antimicrobial activities. All extracts of Foeniculum vulgare showed the most activity on all the microorganisms tested. The most significant and active extract under study were methanol and ethyl acetate on all the bacteria tested in comparaison to the hexane and aqueous extracts. On the other hand, the results of antimicrobial activity of aqueous extract were more compelling than the hexane and dichloromethane extracts when used on Candida albicans (ATCC and CBS) (MIC = 0,78 mg mL −1 ). It then appear that C. albicans ATCC is the least susceptible microorganisms to the ethyl acetate extract. The chloramphenicol, amoxicillin and amphotericin B were used as standard antibiotics to carry this study.

“…Fennel also has anti-fungal activity. Fennel essential oil also has antifungal activity against all C. albicans isolates (MIC value: 0.06 mg / ml -0.23 mg / ml) [37,38] .…”

“…The in vitro antifungal activity of the essential oil Foeniculum vulgare was investigated for three strains of Candida albicans from different places using disks, the well diffusion method, microdilution, and compared with standard antimycotics drugs namely Nystatine and Fluconazole. The results showed that the essential oils studied showed antifungal activity against all C. albicans isolates (MIC value: 0.06 mg / ml -0.23 mg / ml) [38] .…”

The effect of herbal extract Foeniculum vulgare Mill. solution on the mechanical and wetting properties of heat polymerized denture base resin

“…has been extensively studied for various health applications because of its antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Moreover, it has been shown that both an essential oil and extracts of seeds and fruits of fennel are effective against Candida which is the most often cause of denture stomatitis 14,15 . Fennel leaves' extracts have antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects due to high content of polyphenols, such as quinic acid, caffeoyl quinic acids, heterosides of quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin 14 .…”

“…se na primer intenzivno proučava za različite primene u medicini zbog svojih antibakterijskih, antigljivičnih, antioksidansnih i antiinflamatornih svojstava. Povrh toga, pokazano je da su i eterska ulja i ekstrakti ploda morača efikasni u borbi protiv gljiva roda Candida koje su najčešći uzrok proteznog stomatitisa 14,15 . Ekstrakti lista morača ispoljavaju antibakterijska, antigljivična, antioksidativna i antiinflamatorna svojstva usled visokog sadržaja polifenola kao što su hina kiselina, kafeoil, heterozidi kvercetina, kemferola i izoramnetina 14 .…”

“…MIC ini dianggap sebagai konsentrasi obat terendah agen antijamur atau antibakteri menghambat total pertumbuhan mikroorganisme. MIC terdeteksi oleh berkurangnya kekeruhan secara visual (pembandingan kontrol pertumbuhan negatif) (Dahak dan Taourirte, 2013 . Menurut Edberg (1986), konsentrasi penghambatan minimum merupakan konsentrasi antibiotika terendah yang akan menghambat pertumbuhan mikroorganisme mikroskopik.…”
