Plant-derived extracts are a rich source of phytochemicals with documented antibacterial and antioxidant properties. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to investigate and compare the phytochemical profiles, antioxidant capacities, and antibacterial activities of various crude extracts from the leaves of &lt;em&gt;Cissus hastata.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Leaf extracts of &lt;em&gt;C. hastata&lt;/em&gt; were prepared using hexane (Hex), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), 95% ethanol (EtOH), and 50% ethanol (AqE). These extracts were analyzed for preliminary phytochemical constituents, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays), and antibacterial activity against five bacterial strains: Staphylococcus aureus (TISTR 517), methicillin-resistant &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; (MRSA 142)&lt;em&gt;, Bacillus cereus&lt;/em&gt; (ATCC 11778), &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli &lt;/em&gt;(ESBL 182), and &lt;em&gt;Salmonella typhimurium &lt;/em&gt;(TISTR 292). &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Phytochemical screening of different solvent extracts of &lt;em&gt;C. hastata&lt;/em&gt; leaves revealed the presence of diverse bioactive compounds. The EtOAc and AqE extracts exhibited the highest TPC (65.31 ± 1.85 and 61.45 ± 3.34 mg GAE/g extract, respectively) (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05). In contrast, the EtOH extract showed the highest TFC (29.92 ± 3.42 mg QE/g extract) (p &amp;lt; 0.05). The EtOH and AqE extracts also demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activities in the DPPH (IC50: 307.07 ± 7.18 μg/mL and 316.86 ± 11.78 μg/mL), ABTS (IC50: 160.21 ± 5.43 μg/mL and 208.45 ± 3.84 μg/ mL) (p &amp;lt; 0.05), and FRAP (4.69 ± 0.08 and 4.96 ± 0.07 mM FeSO4/mg extract) assays. The antibacterial activity was observed exclusively against Gram-positive bacteria. Among all the extracts, the AqE extract at a concentration of 100 mg/mL exhibited significant antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus, with zones of inhibition measuring 15.43 ± 0.46 mm, 14.76 ± 0.58 mm, and 15.66 ± 1.04 mm, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Ethanol-based extracts of&lt;em&gt; C. hastata&lt;/em&gt; leaves demonstrate high antioxidant and antibacterial activities and represent a promising source of bioactive compounds for developing natural therapeutic agents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Durian (Durio zibethinus) fruit skin contains antibacterial compounds. The antibacterial content in durian skin (Durio zibethinus) such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols and tannins can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhosa and Staphylococcus aureus and act as a disinfection agent. This research aims to determine the secondary metabolite compounds and antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of Soya durian peel against the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This type of research is a laboratory experiment, including making Soya durian peel extract using the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the liquid dilution method to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) value and the solid dilution method to determine the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) value. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on qualitative phytochemical screening, Soya durian peel ethanol extract contains secondary metabolite compounds with an average content of 4.24% alkaloids, 22.95% flavonoids, 1.74% saponins, 57.41% phenols and 2.27% tannins. Soya durian peel extract has an MIC against E. coli ATCC 25922 bacteria of 3.12%, while the MBC value of Soya durian peel extract against E. coli ATCC 25922 bacteria is 6.25%. The results of the One Way ANOVA analysis of the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) data have a significant value of 0.00 &amp;lt; 0.05. The results of the Pearson correlation test (r) showed a significant number of 0.000 (p &amp;lt; 0.05), the Pearson correlation coefficient between concentration and number of bacterial colonies was (r) = 0.812. This means that the higher the concentration of Soya durian peel ethanol extract given, the less the number of E.coli ATCC 2592 bacterial colonies will be reduced. The results of a simple linear regression test showed that the value of Y = 245.618 – 29.016 245,618 colonies and each increase in the concentration of Soya durian peel ethanol extract by 1% will cause a decrease in the number of bacterial colonies to 29,016 colonies. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Soya durian skin extract has antibacterial compounds that can kill pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria in raw drinking water.&lt;/p&gt;

These plants can manufacture a wide variety of natural chemicals. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity and antioxidant capacity of ethanolic extract of four plant species (&lt;em&gt;Zizyphus lotus, Lavandula dentata, Ruta graveolens, and Dodonaea viscosa&lt;/em&gt;). Using disc diffusion and serial dilution procedures, the antibacterial abilities of these EtPEs were evaluated. The antioxidant properties were evaluated by the FRAP method and the Folin-Ciocalteu technique was used to measure the total phenolic content. Different plant extracts showed different inhibitory effects on the tested bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. Among the tested plant extracts, &lt;em&gt;D. viscose &lt;/em&gt;exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against&lt;em&gt; P. vulgaris &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; S. aureus,&lt;/em&gt; with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.5 mg/ml. On the other hand, R. graveolens displayed the highest quantity of phenolic compounds and demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity. Notably, there was a positive correlation observed between the antioxidant activity of the plant extracts and their total phenolic content. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that the tested plant extracts hold potential as promising sources of natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents.&lt;/p&gt;

Kurz (RnLK) flower extract as an antioxidant utilizing the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) method; the possibility that it might be used as a treatment for gout by employing the 2,4,6-tribromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (TBHBA) technique, as well as the possibility that it could be used as an antibacterial agent against&lt;em&gt; E. coli &lt;/em&gt;and B. subtilis. Results: The IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value for the extract's ability to serve as an antioxidant is 8.62±0.006 mg/L, indicating that it is quite effective. In addition, the extract of ethanol possesses highly potent anti-gout properties, being capable of bringing about a 81.95±0.1% reduction in uric acid levels. In spite of this, the antibacterial properties of &lt;em&gt;E. coli &lt;/em&gt;as well as &lt;em&gt;B. subtilis&lt;/em&gt; bacteria were not particularly robust. Conclusion: The RnLK flower has the potential to produce alternative chemicals with the ability to reduce blood uric acid levels, but according to the results of the test, the antibacterial activity has little impact on &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; and B. subtilis.&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, the need for phytochemicals in medicinal plants for potentials application in the treatments of these human ailments as alternatives. Drug resistance parasite has rendered most of the drugs used in treating many human diseases ineffective. There is an urgent need and continuous search for new drugs from natural sources because most of the drugs used are either derived from plant or end-product of the natural source. Antibacterial and antiplasmodial activities of &lt;em&gt;Boswellia dalzielii &lt;/em&gt;stem bark chloroform extract against some pathogens and &lt;em&gt;P. bergei&lt;/em&gt; was investigated using the serial dilution method. Phytochemical studies (GC-MS RT profiling) revealed the presence of some secondary metabolites. The extract was tested against thirteen bacterial strains (&lt;em&gt;Styphylococcus epidermidis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Enterococcus faecalis, Styplococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis&lt;/em&gt;) and Gram-negative strains &lt;em&gt;Klebsiella aerugninosa, Proteus vulgaris, K. pneumonia, Klebsiella oxytoca,Entrobacter cloacae, Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis&lt;/em&gt;). Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the extract showed activities against &lt;em&gt;Mycobacterium smegmatis,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella aerugninosa &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Proteus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt;. The extract demonstrated high safety with LD50 value greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight. The extract shows a high potent of antiplasmodial activities with&lt;em&gt; P. bargie&lt;/em&gt; inhibition of 66.95%. The results demonstrated that &lt;em&gt;Boswelliadalzielii &lt;/em&gt;stem bark extract can be used as a source of cheaper, less toxic novel antibiotic and antimalarial substances for drug development.&lt;/p&gt;

Apart from this, the genus also occupies an important constituent of alternative systems of medicine as well as ethnobotany. Among the various species of&lt;em&gt; Tragia&lt;/em&gt;, the most studied and experimented species is T. involucrata. This genus is used for several ethnobotanical uses such as cancer, diarrhea, constipation, scorpion bite, rheumatism, whooping cough and diabetes. Apart from this the genus is also an important constituent of ayurvedic and siddha medicines. Owing to these properties several researches has been conducted to validate the traditional uses, finding out new uses and understanding the phytochemical profile. Alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids and tannin are present in the genus &lt;em&gt;Tragia.&lt;/em&gt; Calcium oxalate and shellsol is responsible for the stinging property. Various species of&lt;em&gt; Tragia&lt;/em&gt; has been validated for its important properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities. All these properties has been related to the occurrence of secondary metabolites. However the exact lead metabolite for the pharmacological properties has to be identified. Based the experimentally proved pharmacological properties, &lt;em&gt;Tragia&lt;/em&gt; possesses significant potential on a medicinal species.&lt;/p&gt;

Essential oil was isolated by hydro-distillation, analysed using GC-MS, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and other established biochemical assays were used for the study. The GC-MS analysis of the aerial essential oil of&lt;em&gt; L. crispata&lt;/em&gt; showed the presence of 35 medicinal organic compounds making up 84.4% of the oil. The most abundant component was a phenolic compound called 2-tert-Butyl&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;,4-dimethoxybenzene (54.5%). The other major terpenoids present in the oil were α-humulene (6.9%) and (+)-sabinene (5.9%). The TPC, TFC, TAA and TAC values of the aerial essential oil of &lt;em&gt;L. crispata &lt;/em&gt;were 172.75±0.00 μgmg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; GAE, 48.69±0.00 μgmg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; QE, 61.85±0.00 μgmg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; AAE and 726.92±0.00 μgmg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; AAE respectively. DPPH IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;and AAI values of the essential oil were 1.5 μgml&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and 26.7. The essential oil displayed varying inhibitory activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with zones of inhibition ranging from 08-30 mm. The&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; pharmacological activities added scientific support to the use of &lt;em&gt;L. crispata&lt;/em&gt; in alternative and complementary medicine. The essential oil of &lt;em&gt;L. crispata&lt;/em&gt; grown in Nigeria will play beneficial roles in human and animal health and therefore a research on this plant might be of great value in drug industries.&lt;/p&gt;

Antibacterial activity of the extract was investigated against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 25923), &lt;em&gt;Bacillus cereus&lt;/em&gt; (ATCC 10102), &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 25922) and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (ATCC 27853) using the broth dilution method. The standard 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2.2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) methods were used to evaluate the scavenging activities of the extract. Anti-quorum sensing activity was assessed against biosensor strain- &lt;em&gt;Chromobacterium violaceum &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 12472). Cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells was investigated using the tetrazolium-based colorimetric (MTT) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The extract revealed eight volatile compounds with cis-Vaccenic acid (87.06%) and 9-Octadecenoic acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester (5.21%) as the major components. Antibacterial activity against all tested strains with minimum inhibitory concentration range of 1.56 - 12.5 mg/mL was observed. The DPPH and ABTS assays demonstrated scavenging activities with the median inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) values of 0.09 mg/mL and 0.003 mg/mL, respectively. The extract also displayed strong anti-quorum sensing activity with 93% inhibition of violacein production at 25 mg/mL. A half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) of 5370 μg/mL was computed in HepG2 cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract has potential to be used as a source of therapeutic compounds in pharmaceutical applications.&lt;/p&gt;

Limited report is available on their antidiabetic and antibacterial properties. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Methanol (ME) and Ethyl acetate extracts (EAE) were studied for their inhibition activities on α-glucosidase &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;, including combination of ME with acarbose and inhibition mechanism. Antibacterial activity was tested by well diffusion and microdilution methods. The extracts were evaluated for their &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant property by DPPH assay, as well as their phenolic and flavonoid contents. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; ME exhibited a strong α-glucosidase inhibition activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 271.97 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;g/ml) compared to EAE and acarbose (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 1745.05 and 823.99 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;g/ml, respectively). A low dose of ME gave an additive inhibition on α-glucosidase when combined with acarbose. By a kinetic analysis, ME was found to inhibit α-glucosidase in a mixed-type inhibition. Both ME and EAE showed strong antibacterial activities against gram negative and positive bacteria. The strongest inhibition was observed against &lt;em&gt;C. violaceum&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;S. mutans&lt;/em&gt; for ME (MIC of both 0.387 mg/ml) and &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; for EAE (MIC 2.938 mg/ml). Both extracts showed weaker antioxidant activities than standards; IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 664.73 and 4225.40 μg/ml, respectively. ME was rich in phenolics (277.54 mg GAE/100 g DW), unlike EAE (1.86 mg GAE/100 g DW). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study can recommend &lt;em&gt;B. javanica&lt;/em&gt; seeds as a source for antidiabetic and antibacterial agents. Combination with acarbose may have important role for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.&lt;/p&gt;

Periodontal flora plays the important role in initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. There are various conservative and surgical procedures to treat and prevent periodontal diseases. Local drug delivery agents reduce microbial burden, blocks collagenase activity and inhibits bone loss; out of which tetracycline is common in use. Unwanted side effects and resistance of microorganisms towards antibiotics due to their widespread use have modified the general prescription about their efficacy. Various researches elucidate that herbal extracts exhibit wide range of antibacterial activity. In recent years, Lemongrass essential oil gains scientific interest as it targets even the periodontal pathogens. The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate the antibacterial activity of lemongrass essential oil with that of tetracycline. &lt;strong&gt;Aim and objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To comparatively evaluate the antibacterial activity of lemongrass essential oil with tetracycline against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Lactobacillus and to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of lemongrass essential oil. &lt;strong&gt;Study design:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; In vitro&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; It is an&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; study done to demonstrate the antimicrobial activity of lemongrass against the oral microbes. Based on their involvement in various clinical conditions Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Lactobacillus were selected for the study. These organisms were inoculated to a solid media and incubated overnight aerobically at 37°C to obtain a pure culture. The culture was made as a suspension in sterile saline with the turbidity matching 0.5 Macfarland standard. This is used to make a lawn culture on the Mueller Hinton Agar. Antimicrobial effect of tetracycline was tested using standard disc of doxycycline 30 mcg (Himedia, SD012) and sterile disc was used to prepare lemongrass essential oil which contained 10 μl, 15 μl and 20μl. In each category 5 discs were tested to get a mean zone of inhibition. After 24 hours of incubation the zone of inhibition was measure in mm using a scale. The measured zone size was tabulated and compared among the groups. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The minimal inhibitory concentration of lemon grass essential oil was estimated to be 10μl. Statistically significant zone of inhibition and antibacterial zone was greater in lemongrass essential oil than tetracycline for Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus epidermis. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Lemongrass essential oil showed higher antibacterial activity than tetracycline. Hence, it can be used as a good alternative to tetracycline or adjunctive in the treatment of periodontitis.&lt;/p&gt;

The plant is included in the Official List of Brazilian Medicinal Plants of interest to the Brazilian Unified Health System. The study aimed to perfom microbiological studies with extracts of &lt;em&gt;Momordica charanthia&lt;/em&gt; L. including chemical characterization of the active extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The antimicrobial activity was evaluated with the hydroalcoholic and acetone extracts of&lt;em&gt; M. charantia&lt;/em&gt; leaves, fruits and seeds from northeastern Brazil using microdilution broth technique on the selected clinical bacterial and fungal strains. Extracts that presented antimicrobial were subjected to ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QToF-ESI-MS). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;antimicrobial assays demonstrated that the leaves extracts presented good antibacterial effect against four &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus &lt;/em&gt;strains, and a weak antifungal activity agaist &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt;. Fourteen compounds were identified in the hydroalcoholic extract, while 12 were found in the acetone extract. The most important compounds were kaempferol, quercertin and triterpenoids like cucurbitacins. &lt;strong&gt;Conclussion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study demonstrated the potential antibacterial activity of &lt;em&gt;M. charantia&lt;/em&gt; L. from northeastern part of Brazil, in addition to important phytochemical metabolites known to possess antibacterial activities, particularly against microrganisms of clinical importance. The UPLC phytochemical profile of the Brazilian variety is reported here for the first time. The phytochemical profile of the LHE and FAE demonstrated the presence of biologically and pharmacologically active compounds. There is lack of biological and pharmacological studies to support the medicinal uses of this important plant. The Brazilian variety of &lt;em&gt;M. Charantia &lt;/em&gt;could be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of infections.&lt;/p&gt;

Its stem bark, leaves and fruits were studied biologically, but so far its root has not been studied.&lt;strong&gt; Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of the present study is to standardize the root of &lt;em&gt;Careya arborea &lt;/em&gt;and its extracts pharmacognostically and also to screen its extracts for their antimicrobial activities against several bacteria and fungi using standard procedures.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Loss on drying, extractive and ash values, fluorescence and phytochemical analysis of the root and its extracts were studied using standard procedures. Antimicrobial activity was carried out by determining minimum inhibitory concentration. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Among all the extracts, the successive ethyl acetate extract was found to be the most active with lowest MIC values against &lt;em&gt;L. acidophilius, S. aureus, C. freundii, P. aeruginosa and M. luteus.&lt;/em&gt; The successive chloroform extract was also found to be highly active against &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa and fungi, M. furfur and C. albicans&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results are helpful in standardizing the root of the plant and since several of the root extracts possess antimicrobial properties, there is a need to isolate its constituents.&lt;/p&gt;

The determination of antibacterial activity was performed by well agar diffusion method against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; while the cytotoxic activity was determined by MTT methods on human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human colon colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), followed by determination of the apoptosis mechanism by Annexin V-FTIC assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp showed strong inhibition against S.aureus and E.coli with the diameter of inhibition of 14.21 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm and 14.36 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm, and 10.01 &amp;plusmn; 2.65 mm and 12.07 &amp;plusmn; 1.54 mm, respectively. Moreover, they also exhibited potent cytotoxicity on HCT-116 with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 0.002 and 8.518 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, on MCF-7, only M. sarasinorum showed moderate inhibition with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 87.35 &amp;mu;g/mL. Annexin V-FTIC assay clearly showed that the cytotoxic mechanism of &lt;em&gt;M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp on HCT-116 and MCF-7 was via apoptosis induction. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The sponges of &lt;em&gt;M.

(Euphorbiaceae) leaves are widely used to cure asthma, bronchitis pleurisy, exudation, sores in mouth and genital cancers. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate antibacterial activity of the leaf calli methanol extract (LCME). &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Mass production of leaf calli was established on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BAP and 0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D. Methanol extract of the dried calli was subjected to HR-LCMS analysis, antibacterial screening of the extract was carried out against human pathogenic clinical isolates. Molecular docking study of HR-LCMS identified compounds was performed by docking with bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; HR-LCMS analysis of LCME shows that the compounds azaperone bifonazole, fusidic acid, lasalocid and quinine as the major constituents. The antibacterial screening of LCME against clinical pathogens showed significant bactericidal activity against the strains Staphylococcus aureus (17.67&amp;plusmn;0.88 mm.d.), &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus pneumonia&lt;/em&gt; (13.67&amp;plusmn;0.33), &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (16.33&amp;plusmn;0.67), &lt;em&gt;Salmonella typhi&lt;/em&gt; (17.67&amp;plusmn;0.33), and Vibrio cholera (15.33&amp;plusmn;0.33) as compared to the standard drug ciprofloxacin. The molecular docking of lasalocid against the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase exhibited good binding affinity of -4.9 kcal/mol, good drug likeness (2.5589), 2 hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction with 7 amino acid residues, so that lasalocid processes good inhibitor as compared to other 4 compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; LCME of &lt;em&gt;Bridelia scandens&lt;/em&gt; showed significant antibacterial activity against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Salmonella typhi&lt;/em&gt;. Lasalocid is the major phytocomponent of LCME which exhibited good inhibitory activity against bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase.

Medicinal plants are now considered as an alternative treatment because of their secure choice in several diseases. Among them, &lt;em&gt;Nigella sativa&lt;/em&gt; is a promising traditional herb having rich medical background. The aim of the study is to perform phytochemical analysis of &lt;em&gt;Nigella sativa&lt;/em&gt; L. Utilizing Gas chromatographic&amp;ndash;mass spectrometric (GC/MS) exploring its antioxidant and antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant (MDR) gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Total phenolic, tannin, and flavonoid content of &lt;em&gt;N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; seed extracts and its commercially available oil were determined. Their radical scavenging activity using DPPH was also tested. The antibacterial activity of &lt;em&gt;N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; seed extracts and its oil against MDR gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains was studied using disc diffusion test and the biofilm formation assay. GC-MS studies were also performed. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Among the different preparations used,&lt;em&gt; N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; oil showed the highest antioxidant and antibacterial activity against highly resistant gram-positive bacteria with the greatest suppression of biofilm formation, which was attributed to its high bioactive contents. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study indicates that &lt;em&gt;N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; extracts and its oils can be used as natural antibacterial agents to treat infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fatima A.

Rationale of pharmacological potentials of these plants are still unclear, even if few preliminary studies are available in literature for individual plants. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study was conducted for comparative assessment of antioxidant, antibacterial, and antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The rhizome of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and leaf of &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were extracted in methanol, ethanol and water. Phytochemicals of each extracts of &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were analyzed. The antioxidant potential of all the extracts was assessed by measuring total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and free radical scavenging potential was assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, antibacterial activity was assessed against various pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; by Kirby-Bauer agar well diffusion method and antidiabetic activity was assessed by &amp;alpha;-amylase inhibition. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Both the plant showed presence of all the tested phytochemicals. It was observed that methanolic extracts of both the plants have higher phenolic content than ethanolic and aqueous extracts, however ethanolic extracts &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; shows higher flavonoid contents. Both the plant shows similar DPPH scavenging and metal chelating activity. It was also observed that the antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;is greater than &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. The methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the plants shows quite similar and good antibacterial potential than the aqueous extracts.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study suggests that both &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; plants of Manipur could be used as herbal remedies for the treatment of diabetes mellitus as well as managing oxidative stress and oxidative stress related disorders.&lt;/p&gt;
