Antioxidant/antibacterial activities of a topical phytopharmaceutical formulation containing a standardized extract of Baccharis incarum, an extremophile plant species from Argentine Puna.

The antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of standardized extracts of Baccharis incarum in 60° and 80° ethanol and of a phytopharmaceutical formulation obtained from them were measured. Baccharis tinctures showed antimicrobial activity against clinically isolated antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis, with MIC values of 40-80 µg GAE/mL. Both tinctures exhibited ABTS(●+) scavenging activity with SC(50) values between 1.
