Abstract EN
In vitro antibacterial potential of the chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol and aqueous extracts of Calotropis gigantia (L.) R.
Br.
was evaluated by using five cariogenic bacteria, Actinomyces viscosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus mutans.
Agar well diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were used for this purpose.
The chloroform extracted fraction of latex showed inhibitory effect against S.
mutans and L.
acidophilus with MIC value of 0.032 and 0.52 mg/mL, respectively.
Qualitative investigation on structure elucidation of bioactive compound using IR, NMR and GC–MS techniques revealed the presence of methyl nonanoate, a saturated fatty acid.
