Phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity of leaves extracts from the endemic Argania spinosa (l.) skeels from Tindouf (Algerian Sahara)
Journal Title: PhytoChem & BioSub Journal - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Leaves extracts from the endemic Saharan tree Argania spinosa (l.) skeels were subjected to a phytochemical screening and in vitro antibacterial evaluation of petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethanol, and water extracts against three pathogens causing urinary tract infection: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were tested by disc diffusion assay method. As a result, the major phytochemical constituents were found to be present in the leaves of Argania spinosa. The ethanolic extract exhibited broader spectrum of inhibition followed by dichloromethane, petroleum ether and aqueous extracts against the tested pathogens.
