Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Crude Extracts and Essential Oils of Syzygium cumini Leaves

This research highlights the chemical composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of essential oils and various crude extracts (using methanol and methylene chloride) from Syzygium cumini leaves. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The abundant constituents of the oils were: α-pinene (32.32%), β-pinene (12.44%), trans-caryophyllene (11.19%), 1, 3, 6-octatriene (8.41%), delta-3-carene (5.55%), α-caryophyllene (4.36%), and α-limonene (3.42%).The antioxidant activities of all extracts were examined using two complementary methods, namely diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing power (FRAP). In both methods, the methanol extract exhibited a higher activity than methylene chloride and essential oil extracts. A higher content of both total phenolics and flavonoids were found in the methanolic extract compared with other extracts. Furthermore, the methanol extract had higher antibacterial activity compared to methylene chloride and the essential oil extracts. Due to their antioxidant and antibacterial properties, the leaf extracts from S. cumini may be used as natural preservative ingredients in food and/or pharmaceutical industries.     

Antimicrobial activities of eucalyptus leaf extracts and flavonoids from Eucalyptus maculata

AIMS: We investigated the antimicrobial activities of eucalyptus leaf extracts to find effective antibacterial agents. METHODS AND RESULTS: The antimicrobial activities of leaf extracts from 26 species of eucalyptus were measured. Extracts of Eucalyptus globulus, E. maculata and E. viminalis significantly inhibited the growth of six Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, Propionibacterium acnes), and of a fungus (Trichophyton mentagrophytes), but they did not show strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida). 2',6'-dihydroxy-3'-methyl-4'-methoxy-dihydrochalcone, eucalyptin and 8-desmethyl-eucalyptin, isolated from E. maculata extracts, exhibited potent antimicrobial activities against seven micro-organisms with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranging from 1.0 to 31 mg l(-1). CONCLUSIONS: The eucalyptus extracts and three compounds from E. maculata were found to be effective against micro-organisms that cause food poisoning, acne and athlete's foot. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study shows potential uses of extracts from E. globulus, E. maculata and E. viminalis, and antimicrobial compounds isolated from E. maculata.     

Antibacterial activity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Acacia aroma Gill. ex Hook et Arn

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of seven ethanolic extracts and three aqueous extracts from various parts (leaves, stems and flowers) of A. aroma against 163 strains of antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria. The disc diffusion assay was performed to evaluate antibacterial activity of the A. aroma crude extracts, against several Gram-positive bacteria (E. faecalis, S. aureus, coagulase-negative stahylococci, S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. aureus ATCC 29213, E. faecalis ATCC 29212) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli., K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, E. cloacae, S. marcescens, M morganii, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, S. maltophilia, E. coli ATCC 35218, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, E. coli ATCC 25922). All ethanolic extracts showed activity against gram-positive bacteria. Among all obtained extracts, only leaf and flower fluid extracts showed activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Based on this bioassay, leaf fluid extracts tended to be the most potent, followed by flower fluid extracts. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of extracts and antibiotics were comparatively determined by agar and broth dilution methods. Both extracts were active against S. aureus, coagulase-negative stahylococci, E. faecalis and E. faecium and all tested Gram-negative bacteria with MIC values from 0.067 to 0.308 mg/ml. In this study the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were identical or twice as high than the corresponding MIC for leaf extracts and four or eight times higher than MIC values for flower extracts. This may indicate a bactericidal effect. Stored extracts have similar antibacterial activity as recently obtained extracts. The A. aroma extracts of leaves and flowers may be useful as antibacterial agents against Gram- negative and Gram-positive antibiotic multi-resistant microorganisms.

Antimicrobial activity of fatty acid methyl esters of some members of Chenopodiaceae

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of four halophytic plants, viz. Arthrocnemum indicum, Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda maritima and Suaeda monoica belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae, were prepared and their composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The FAME extracts were also screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of more saturated fatty acids than unsaturated fatty acids. Among the fatty acids analyzed, the relative percentage of lauric acid was high in S. brachiata (61.85%). The FAME extract of S. brachiata showed the highest antibacterial and antifungal activities among the extracts tested. The other three extracts showed potent antibacterial and moderate anticandidal activities.     

Comparative activity against pathogenic bacteria of the root,stem, and leaf of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Raphanus sativus</Emphasis> grown in India

Aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate, and chloroform extracts of the root, stem, and leaf of Raphanus sativus were studied for antibacterial activity against food-borne and resistant pathogens. All extracts except the aqueous extracts had significant broad-spectrum inhibitory activity. The ethyl acetate extract of the root had the potent antibacterial activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.016–0.064 mg/ml and a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 0.016–0.512 mg/ml against health-damaging bacteria. This was followed by the ethyl acetate extracts of the leaf and stem with MICs of 0.064–0.256 and 0.128–0.256 mg/ml, respectively and MBCs of 0.128–2.05 and 0.256–2.05 mg/ml, respectively. The ethyl acetate extracts of the different parts of R. sativus retained their antibacterial activity after heat treatment at 100°C for 30 min, and their antibacterial activity was enhanced when pH was maintained in the acidic range. Hence this study, for the first time, demonstrated that the root, stem, and leaf of R. sativus had significant bactericidal effects against human pathogenic bacteria, justifying their traditional use as anti-infective agents in herbal medicines.     

Biochemical and in silico study of leaf and bark extracts from Aphanamixis polystachya against common pathogenic bacteria

Aphanamixis polystachya may be a natural, renewable resource against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The antibacterial activity of A. polystachya leaf and bark extracts was investigated against three antibiotic-resistant bacterial species and one fungus. Methanolic leaf extract showed only limited antibacterial activity but both methanolic and aqueous bark extract showed high antimicrobial activity. In an antioxidant activity test, leaf and bark extracts exhibited 50% free radical scavenging at a concentration of 107.14 ± 3.14 μg/mL and 97.13 ± 3.05 μg/mL, respectively, indicating that bark extracts offer more antioxidative activity than leaf extracts. Bark extracts also showed lower toxicity than leaf extracts. This suggests that bark extracts may offer greater development potential than leaf extracts. The molecular dynamics were also investigated through the simulated exploration of multiple potential interactions to understand the interaction dynamics (root-mean-square deviation, solvent-accessible surface area, radius of gyration, and the hydrogen bonding of chosen compounds to protein targets) and possible mechanisms of inhibition. This molecular modeling of compounds derived from A. polystachya revealed that inhibition may occur by binding to the active sites of the target proteins of the tested bacterial strains. A. polystachya bark extract may be used as a natural source of drugs to control antibiotic-resistant bacteria.     

Isolation and Identification of a Novel Inducible Antibacterial Peptide from the Skin Mucus of Japanese Eel, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anguilla japonica</Emphasis>

In this study, acetone extracts and acidic extracts were prepared from skin mucus, gill, kidney, liver and spleen of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, and they exhibited different levels of antibacterial activities against three strains of Gram-negative bacteria, Edwardsiella tarda, Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas sp. and one Gram-positive bacterium Micrococcus leteus. The mucus was chosen as the source of antibacterial peptide for further purification of antibacterial peptides. Following the intraperitoneal injection of A. hydrophila, one of the main pathogenic bacteria of Japanese eel and many other fish, a peptide was purified from acetic acid extraction of the skin mucus, by using cationic exchange liquid chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The isolated antibacterial peptide, named as AJN-10, exhibited antibacterial activity against A. hydrophila. The AJN-10 is a heat-tolerant and hydrophilic peptide. The molecular weight of this peptide is 6,044.28 Da, as determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time of flight mass spectrometry. The 20 N-terminal amino acid sequences were clarified by Edman degradation, and based on results of homology search by BLAST analysis of the 20 N-terminal sequences, the AJN-10 showed little similarity to other proteins in databases.
