Proximate Composition, Antibacterial and Anthelmintic Activity of Capsicum frutescens (L.) Var. Longa (Solanaceae) Leaves

Chemical composition, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, andin vitroantimicrobial and antioxidant activities of crude extracts from red chilli seeds (Capsicum frutescensL.)

“…In previous studies, the antimicrobial activity of highly polar ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts of C. frutescens pepper has already been reported against a number of microorganisms [31][32][33]. Even the methanolic extract of C. frutescens leaves showed dose-dependent antibacterial activity against S. aureus, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa [34]. Aqueous extracts of the leaf and fruit of C. frutescens exhibited potential to prevent growth of seed-borne fungi [35], while chilli juice and oleoresins inhibited the growth of wood discolouring fungi [36].…”

Protective effect of (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate on capsaicin-induced DNA damage and oxidative stress in human erythrocyes and leucocytes in vitro

“…While some studies demonstrated a marked mutagenic and genotoxic activity of the compound in the presence or absence of an external metabolic activation system, others failed to provide an evidence for its genotoxic potential (Surh and Lee 1996). Capsaicin has been tested for its effects on experimental carcinogenesis and mutagenesis (Vinayaka et al 2010). Carcinogenicity studies in mice demonstrated that CAP can induce duodenal adenocarcinomas (Toth et al 1984) and it acts as a promoter of stomach and liver tumors (Agarwal et al 1986).…”

Antibacterial Compound Identification of Cayenne Pepper Leaf Extract (Capsicum frutescens L.) against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Cell Leakage Mechanism

“…sebesar 7,25±0,25 mm (Tabel 1). Vinayaka (2010) membuktikan bahwa ekstrak metanol daun cabai rawit mulai menimbulkan penghambatan terhadap S. aureus, dan K. pneumoniae pada konsentrasi 25%, dan mulai menghambat pertumbuhan P. aeruginosa pada konsentrasi 50%. Ekstrak etanolik daun cabai rawit terhadap menunjukkan penghambatan terhadap S. aureus pada konsentrasi 60% (Rahim et al, 2014).…”

“…Ekstrak etanol daun cabai rawit terbukti menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Steptococus Aureus (Rahim et al, 2014). Penelitian Vinayaka (2010) membuktikan bahwa ekstrak metanol daun cabai rawit menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri S. aureus, K. pneumoniae dan Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ekstrak daun cabai rawit juga terbukti aktif menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri E. coli (Lestari et al, 2016).…”
