Abstract
ABSTRACT The metabolites present in the crude methanolic extract of Leucas biflora were identified and characterized to obtain new leads for compounds with antibacterial effects. The plant extract showed antibacterial effects against both the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in disc-diffusion assay. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results revealed nine types of high and low molecular weight chemical entities with varying quantities in the extract. An in silico target-fishing approach identified two compounds with multi-target-directed activities. Two metabolites, 3-Oxo-18-Nor-ent-ros-4-ene-15.alpha.,16-acetonide and 4-Dehydroxy-N-(4,5-methylenedioxy-2-nitrobenzylidene)-tyramine, inhibited two promising bacterial targets, FabH and DNA gyrase B.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
