Qualitative and quantitative analysis of teucrium polium l. and the relation with antibacterial activity

Abstract EN

The research was involve preparation two aqueous extracts (hot and cold) and ethanolic extract (70 %) from Iraqi Al-jihadi plant (Teucrium polium) which cultivated in Also door / Diayla city, for qualitative and quantitative study of active components.

This study provided that hot extract contained higher amount of active component (such as flavonoids) than another extracts.

This is may be due to the role of heat in extraction some of active components which cannot extract by cold water or by alcohol.

The biological activity (antimicrobial) of these extracts was studied with E.coli, staphylococcus and streptococcus, in comparison with some antibiotics such as Gentamycin, Tetracycline and Chloramphenicol.

This study proved that biological effect of these extracts on the bacteria used may be due to present the active compounds.
