Abstract EN
Six different extracts of Canarium patentinervium Miq.
(Burseraceae) leaves and barks were screened for their phytochemical composition, and antimicrobial and free radical scavenging activities.
Among the different extracts tested, the ethanol extract of leaves showed significant antimicrobial and radical scavenging activities.
The most susceptible micro-organisms were found to be Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
Phytochemical analysis of the extracts revealed that the antimicrobial and the radical scavenging activities are mainly due to the presence of tannins and flavonoids.
The results obtained suggest that Canarium patentinervium Miq.
could be exploited in the management of various infectious diseases.
