摘要: Abstract Warburgia salutaris is one of the most popular trees used in traditional medicine throughout tropical southeast Africa, because its ability to treat a wide variety illnesses caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses and insects. The aim study was test antimicrobial activity W. isolated compounds against selected skin respiratory pathogens. Furthermore, investigate main chemical this species compare their activities with previously published studies. Crude extracts, essential oils from bark salutaris, showed pathogens (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 743971 Staphylococcus aureus 25923) tract (Klebsiella pneumoniae 13883 Moraxella catarrhalis 23246). Bioassay guided fractionation dichloromethane extract (muthi market sample) oil (from cultivated tree) yielded six compounds, which included two major components drimenol (1) E-nerolidol (2) less volatile drimane sesquiterpenes muthi bark: 12α-acetal-polygodial (3), polygodial (4), ugandensidial (5) warburganal (6). Noteworthy M. observed 2 minimum inhibitory concentration 31 μg/ml 4 an MIC 25 μg/ml K. pneumoniae. This first report 1,2 3 identification these could explain use as inhalation therapy ailments. Despite numerous studies, composition biological leaves are not yet fully explored.
