Ndukwe, Gloria ihuoma published the artcilePhytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity of Aframomum chrysanthum seed extracts, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Aframomum seed extract antimicrobial microbial pathogen.
Three extracts of Aframomum chrysanthum seeds were investigated for antimicrobial activity using disk diffusion method. Varied concentration-dependent antimicrobial activities were exhibited by n-hexane and ethylacetate extracts against the investigated pathogenic microorganisms especially Staphylococcus aureus. Susceptibility testing conducted on all the extracts showed that n-hexane extract had moderate antimicrobial activity at 200 mg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum. All the isolates were observed to be resistant to the methanol extract n-Hexane extract displayed potent antimicrobial activity against Trichophyton rubrum when compared to the standard antifungal drug (fungisol) used in the investigation. Phytochem. anal. carried out on the n-hexane extract of Aframomum chrysanthum seed, revealed the presence of eighty-one (81) compounds made up of phytosterols, alkaloids, anthraquinone, phospholipids and fatty acids. The presence of these phytochems. is an indication that the plant could be used as antimicrobial agent.
International Journal of Chemical Studies published new progress about Antimicrobial agents. 111-11-5 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl octanoate, and the molecular formula is C9H18O2, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks.
