Antimicrobial and antioxidative effects of Ugandan medicinal barks
Original language description
The aim of this study is to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial and total antioxidative activities of barks from five tree species selected using information on their traditional use by Karamojong healers in Uganda. The antimicrobial activity of crudeethanol extracts of Fagaropsis angolensis, Trichilia prieuriana, Turraea floribunda, Warburgia salutaris and Zanthoxylum chalybeum were tested against four bacteria and one yeast species using the broth microdilution method. The total antioxidative activity was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay. It was found that the extract of F. angolensis possess the strongest antimicrobial activity inhibiting growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans with minimum inhibitory concentrationsof 64 and 32 ?g/ml, respectively. Among all plants tested, W. salutaris showed the most promising antioxidative properties (IC50 = 6.59 ?g/ml). Result of this study indicates prospective pharmacological properties of F. angolensis and W.
