Abstract

The extraction of some medicinal plants (Plucheadioscorides aerial part, IPomoeacordofana whole plant, Zaleya pantendra whole plant and Heliotrpium supinum aerial part), are commonly known to treat a variety of diseases in this study. Plants under study were investigated for their antibacterial activity against four standard bacterial strains Bacillus subtilis (NCTC8236), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853), and two standard fungal strains Aspergillius niger (ATCC9763) and Candida albicans (ATCC7596) in vitro. The plants extracts with diversely solvents with increasing in the polarity, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol at a concentration of 100mg/ml were applied using the agar plate well-diffusion method. All the extracts obtained from Zaleya pantendra were showed high activity against all tested bacterial strains, and while have no activity against fungal strains. The methanol extract showed high significantly activity against of all bacterial strains activity in particular at Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and less activity to Gram-negative bacteria was Escherichia coli. The least anti bacterially active plants was IPomoeacordofana. The crude extract from ethyl acetate of Heliotrpium supinum showed high activity against all tested fugal strains of all extracts, and have broader spectrum towards Aspergillius niger (IZ=30mm). The methanol extract of Zaleya pantendra is appropriate candidates for the development of modern antimicrobial compounds.
