The antibiotic activity of some Brazilian medicinal plants

Abstract: Chemical analysis revealed that the crude extracts contained tannins, steroids, phenols, fl avonoids, triterpenes and saponins: the activities were suffi ciently high to present the possibility of future identifi cation of the active components by bioassay-guided fractionation and purifi cation.

“…These substances have been shown to inhibit mainly Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium phei, Serratia marcescens, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella and Streptococcus. According to GALLÃO et al 16, , moringa seeds consist of mostly proteins (approximately 40%), The lack of bactericidal effects in our ethanol-based soursop extracts matches findings published by LIMA et al 27 , who reported S. aureus, E. coli and Salmonella to be resistant to all soursop extracts based on 95% ethanol. On the other hand, bioactivity of water-based soursop extracts against S. aureus and V. cholerae may be related to the chemical structure of the active substances.…”

“…Arg. (batata-de-tiú) apresentou atividade antibacteriana (Lima et al, 2006) e moluscicida (Santos & Sant'Ana, 1999). Jatropha gossypiifolia reduziu significativamente a pressão sanguínea sistólica em ratos (Abreu et al, 2003).…”

“…Como controle positivo utilizou-se ciprofloxacina (5µg) para bactérias gram-positivas (S. aureus e S. epidermidis) e amoxicilina (10µg) para bactérias gram-negativas (E. coli e P. aeruginosa) e como controle negativo 50µl de álcool 70°GL. Os resultados foram obtidos através da mensuração do diâmetro dos halos de inibição ao redor dos poços, com o auxílio de paquímetro e expressos em milímetros, de acordo a metodologia descrita por Lima et al (2006). A presença de zonas de inibição de crescimento de ≥9,0mm ao redor dos poços foi considerada como indicativo de atividade antibacteriana.…”
