“…The antibacterial mechanism of phytol is not fully established. It is also suggested that protein and enzyme inactivation are representative of the inhibition of microbial growth [ 11 ]. Ghaneian et al documented that phytol showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli ( E coli ), Candida albicans , and Aspergillus niger , and the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) was 62.5 μg/mL.…”

We evaluated the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of hexnane, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, ethanol, and water extracts of the Quercus acuta leaf. The antioxidant properties were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and total phenolic content. Antibacterial activity was assessed against general infectious pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates. The methanolic extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content, while the reducing power was the highest in the water extract. The ethyl acetate extract showed the best antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Additionally, it displayed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus KCTC1928, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341, Salmonella typhimurium KCTC 1925, Escherichia coli KCTC 1923, and eight MRSA strains. These results present basic information for the possible uses of the ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts from Q. acuta leaf in the treatment of diseases that are caused by oxidative imbalance and antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Six active compounds, including vitamin E, which are known to possess antioxidant and antibacterial activity, were identified from the extracts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that reports the chemical profiling and antibacterial effects of the various QA leaf extracts, suggesting their potential use in food therapy or alternative medicine.

“…This was the first time to produce efficient callus from the nodal parts of plant . In vitro shoot multiplication was performed by (Dagla et al, 2012) by using cotyledonary nodes of explant of L. pyrotechnica. The shoots were firstly planted in nursery and then in the natural habitat successfully.…”

“…The phytol is the compound which inactivates the protein and enzymes present in the microorganisms. In addition, the compound has no remarkable toxicity and possess high stability (Alqasoumi et al, 2012;Khasawneh et al, 2011;Dagla et al, 2012). Thus, it is evident from the present findings that phytol along with other phytoconstituents plays a major role in the inhibition of the growth of drug resistant E. coli.…”
