Abstract EN
In traditional folklore, medicinal herbs play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of microbial diseases.
In the present study, the phenolic profiles of the medicinal plants Asparagus aethiopicus L., Citrullus colocynthis L., Senna alexandrina L., Kalanchoe delagoensis L., Gasteria pillansii L., Cymbopogon citratus, Brassica juncea, and Curcuma longa L.
were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detector method.
The results revealed rich sources of important compounds such as robinin in the fruits and leaves of A.
aethiopicus; caffeic acid in the tubers of A.
aethiopicus and quercitrin in the leaves of G.
pillansii.
Further, relatively high antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities were observed in C.
colocynthis fruit coat, S.
alexandrina pods, and A.
aethiopicus leaves, respectively.
The relatively higher the bioactivities of plants extracts associated with the phenols in these plants, in particular, the more abundant the phenols.
Therefore, it was concluded that the fruit coat of C.
colocynthis, pods of S.
alexandrina, and leaves of A.
aethiopicus might be excellent sources of natural products.
These plant extracts also have a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activities that could be used in the pharmaceutical industries and to control diseases.
