Extraction of glycoside compound from salicorinia europeae L. and evaluation of its chemical properties and antibacterial activity

Abstract EN

Saponin glycoside compound isolated from Salicorinia europeae L.

(Salicornioideae : Chenopodiaceae), that proved by using specific test (haemolysis test, foam test and libermann bruchard test).TLC was used to detect the purity of this compound which give one spot, also IR-spectrum, UV-spectrum, Melting point, solubility were also used to detect the chemical properties of this compound.

The antibacterial activity of extracted glycoside was examined against two clinical isolates[Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus] using disk diffusion method.

Cork Poorer method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for the extracted glycoside.

The study showed that the MIC values of the compound was 35, 35, 55 V / V %, against clinical isolates Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively.
