Antibacterial Properties of Methanolic Leaf Extracts of L. against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Pathogenic Bacteria.

L., a family tree, is widely used in traditional folkloric medicine for its pharmaceutical properties. In the present study, we investigated the phytochemical composition of four methanolic leaf extracts of of various origins (Algeria and Tunisia) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Chemical Composition of (Mill.) Swingle Methanolic Leaf Extracts and Assessment of Their Antibacterial Activity through Oxidative Stress Induction.

The present study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of (Mill.) Swingle methanolic leaf extracts from geographically distinct regions and to assess their antimicrobial properties along with their ability to induce oxidative stress. The HPLC-DAD analysis revealed the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids including chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, synapic acid, p-coumaric acid, apigenin, hyperoside, isoamnétine-3-O-beta-D-glucotrioside, quercetin, and isoquercetin in various amounts depending on the origin of tested extracts.
