Abstract

Plants, their extracts, and plant essential oils are considered prominent sources of new therapeutic substances. Nowadays, medicinal plants like herbs attain the keen interest of consumers and researchers. The present study evaluated Piper betle ( P. betle ) and Persicaria odorata ( P. odorata ) leaf extracts for qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening. The phytochemical analysis of P. betle and P. odorata leaf extracts presented the occurrence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, phenols, glycosides, and volatile oils . The higher total phenolic content and total tannins were quantified from P. betle methanolic leaf extract. Additionally, it showed increased antioxidant activity compared to P. odorata leaf extracts. The in vitro antibacterial potential of both herbs was estimated against Salmonella enterica, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Aspergillus brasiliensis. The methanolic leaf extract of Piper betle showed antibacterial and antifungal activity against these selected strains.

植物化学分析、抗氧化活性及抑菌潜力研究

植物及其提取物和植物精油被认为是新型治疗物质的重要来源。如今，草药等药用植物引起了消费者和研究人员的浓厚兴趣。本研究对花椒(P. betle)和桃香(P. odorata)叶提取物进行了定性和定量的植物化学筛选。通过植物化学分析，发现贝叶和香叶提取物中含有单宁、黄酮类、皂苷、酚类、苷类和挥发油。测定了甲醇叶提取物中总酚和总单宁含量较高。此外，其抗氧化活性也明显提高。对两种草药的体外抑菌潜力进行了评估，包括对肠沙门氏菌、铜绿假单胞菌、大肠杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、白色念珠菌和巴西曲霉的抑菌潜力。菟丝子叶甲醇提取物对所选菌株具有抑菌和抗真菌活性。
