云南省4种蕨类植物提取液的抑菌活性

为了合理开发利用蕨类植物资源,本研究利用圆纸片法分析了云南省4种蕨类植物单芽狗脊蕨(Woodwardia unigemmata)、蜈蚣蕨(Pteris vittata)、鸡足山耳蕨(Polystichum jizhushanense)和灰绿耳蕨(Polystic-hum eximium)的提取液对金黄色葡萄球菌(Staphylococus aureus)、大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)和枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)的抑菌活性。抑菌试验结果表明,当4种蕨类植物提取液浓度分别为10%、8%、6%和4%时,对照组无抑菌圈出现,单芽狗脊蕨提取液对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌无抑菌活性,灰绿耳蕨提取液对金黄色葡萄球菌无抑菌活性,其它的蕨类植物提取液对供试微生物都表现出不同程度的抑菌活性;并且这4种蕨类植物提取液至少对一种供试细菌具有抑菌活性,抑菌活性范围为8～14mm,平均抑菌圈直径为11.2mm,4种提取液对枯草芽孢杆菌抗菌活性效果最明显。由此,我们推测本研究中的4种蕨类植物均有抗菌物质存在,并将有望成为筛选抗菌新型药物的种质资源。

Assessment of anti-oxidant activity of plant extracts using microbial test systems

Aims:  To evaluate the anti-oxidant properties of extracts from 20 medicinal herbs growing in western Siberia using microbial test systems and different in vitro methods.
Methods and results:  In vivo anti-oxidant activity of extracts was evaluated for their capacity to protect bacteria, Escherichia coli , against bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of H₂O₂ and menadione, and action on anti-oxidant gene expression. In vitro anti-oxidant activity has been examined by a number of methods including: the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH^•)-scavenging assay, chelating activity and capacity to protect plasmid DNA against oxidative damage. In addition, total polyphenol content was determined. The extracts of Fragaria vesca , Rosa majalis , Pentaphylloides fruticosa , Alchemilla vulgaris and Pulmonaria mollis possessed the highest levels of anti-oxidant activity in vivo and in vitro . The protective properties were more closely related to the DPPH^• radical-scavenging activity, tannin content and action on anti-oxidant gene expression than to other parameters.
Conclusion:  The extracts of medicinal plants may have anti-oxidant effects on bacteria simultaneously through several different pathways, including direct inhibition of reactive oxygen species, iron chelation and anti-oxidant genes induction.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Using microbial test systems, we revealed herbs that may be used as potential sources of natural anti-oxidants.     

Antimicrobial activity of some Hypericum species

The crude methanolic extracts of six species of Hypericum [H. caprifoliatum Cham. & Schlecht., H. carinatum Griseb., H. connatum Lam., H. ternum A. St. Hil., H. myrianthum Cham. & Schlecht. and H. polyanthemum Klotzsch ex Reichardt] growing in southern Brazil were analyzed for antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). The most active plant was H. caprifoliatum, which showed activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Only H. polyanthemum and H. ternum extracts were active against Bacillus subtilis. None of the crude methanolic extracts showed activity against S. epidermidis, Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Extracts from these species were evaluated chemically and tannin, flavonoid and phenolic acids were the prominent compounds. The plants contained quercitrin, hyperoside (except H. connatum) and, less frequently, isoquercitrin and chlorogenic acid. In contrast to H. perforatum, which has high concentrations of rutin, these species do not produce this flavonoid or it appears as traces. The tannin concentration varied between 5.1 and 16.7% in H. myrianthum and H. ternum, respectively.     

Antioxidant, antihypertensive, and antibacterial properties of endophytic Pestalotiopsis species from medicinal plants

Pestalotiopsis species were most dominant endophytic species isolated from four medicinal plants including Terminalia arjuna, Terminalia chebula, Azadirachta indica, and Holarrhena antidysenterica. Thirty Pestalotiopsis species isolated from different parts of the medicinal plants were selected for the study. The antioxidant and antihypertensive properties of Pestalotiopsis isolates were determined by measuring 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl inhibitory activity, lipid peroxidation, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition activity. Pestalotiopsis isolates of T. arjuna origin exhibited maximum radical scavenging activity compared with the others. The IC50 values of Pestalotiopsis extracts for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity ranged from 14 to 27 mug/mL compared with 15 and 6 mug/mL for butylated hydroxytoluene and ascorbic acid, respectively. The DNA damage study was also done for three isolates, TC-315, TA-37, and TA-60; TA-37 gave 80% protection. The IC50 values of Pestalotiopsis extracts for lipid peroxidation ranged between 30 and 35.5 mug/mL, while for the positive control butylated hydroxytoluene, it was 26 mug/mL. Out of 32 fungal extracts screened for antihypertensive assay, five (TA-37, TA-60, TA-102, TA-103, and TC-320) showed >60% inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme. The IC50 values for five extracts ranged from 21 to 37 mug/mL and was 20 mug/mL for captopril used as a positive control. The antibacterial activity was measured by the microplate-based turbidity measurement method. Four Pestalotiopsis extracts (TA-04, TA-37, TA-60, and TA-102) showed >75% inhibition against five bacterial strains including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. malvacearum, and Staphylococcus aureus. The antioxidant, antibacterial, and antihypertensive activities demonstrated the potential of Pestalotiopsis extracts as therapeutic targets.     

九种蕨类植物多糖提取物抗动植物病原菌活性

从9种蕨类植物中提取多糖,以苯酚-硫酸比色法测定其含量,并采用纸片法进行抗动植物病原菌实验。结果表明,9种蕨类多糖含量差别较大,其多糖提取物表现出不同程度的抑制动植物病原菌活性。     

Inhibitory Effects of Some Spice and Herb Extracts Against Arcobacter butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, and A. skirrowii

Seventeen spice and medicinal plant extracts (methanol and chloroform) were assayed for their antimicrobial activity against Arcobacter butzleri, A. cryaerophilus, and A. skirrowii. In general, all of the tested extracts were able, to a different extent, to inhibit the growth of the selected Arcobacter species. Cinnamon, bearberry, chamomile, sage and rosemary extracts showed strong antimicrobial activity toward arcobacter strains tested. Overall, the methanol extracts showed better activity than the chloroform extracts (P < 0.05); however, enhanced antibacterial activity of chloroform extracts of cinnamon and rosemary has been observed in comparison with their methanol counterparts. The inhibitory dose of the most active extracts (the diameter of zone of inhibition ≥ 20 mm) was determined using the disc-diffusion method as well.     

Extraction methods and bioautography for evaluation of medicinal plant antimicrobial activity

A comparative study on the antimicrobial properties of extracts from medicinal plants obtained by two different methods was carried out. The screening of the antimicrobial activity of extracts from six plants was conducted by a disc diffusion test against Gram-positive, -negative and fungal organisms. The most active extracts (inhibition diameter >/=12 mm) were assayed for the minimum inhibitory concentration and submitted to phytochemical screening by thin-layer chromatography and bioautography. The results obtained indicate that the diethyl ether extracts were the most efficient antimicrobial compounds. The activity was more pronounced against Gram-positive and fungal organisms than against Gram-negative bacteria. Bioautography showed that the antimicrobial activity was probably due to flavonoids and terpenes.
