Article Synopsis
- Dioscorea bulbifera, a plant used for wound care in Thailand, was studied for its antibacterial properties against skin-associated bacteria, focusing on isolating and characterizing the active compound flavanthrinin.
- The ethyl acetate extract showed the strongest antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.78-1.56 mg/mL, and flavanthrinin exhibited even higher potency, with MICs of 0.02-0.78 mg/mL against bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA.
- Analysis confirmed that the flavanthrinin-containing fraction had low cytotoxic effects on Vero cells, indicating its potential for safe therapeutic applications.
