Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are prevalent in hospitals and often lead to significant health complications. This study aimed to explore the chemical composition of the aerial part of Crotalaria madurensis and evaluate its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The impact of gamma irradiation on the antibacterial properties of the plant extract and metabolite 1 against MRSA was also examined.

Four assays were used to determine the antioxidant activity, including radical scavenging abilities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), radical cation, and ferric-reducing power. Additionally, vincristine was used as a reference medication to examine the anticancer activity on Ehrlich aesthete carcinoma cells (EACC).
