In vitro screening of antibacterial potentials

The present investigation was undertaken for in vitro screening of antibacterial activities of different extracts (ethyl acetate, methanol and benzene) of various plant parts of Achyranthes aspera, Azolla pinnata, Cissus quadrangularis. In vitro antibacterial efficacy of plants selected was assessed by well diffusion method against pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The ethyl acetate extract of Cissus quadrangularis exhibited highest zone of inhibition against S. aureus (25±1.3mm) followed by Achyranthes aspera (20.0±0.

Recent times copper nanoparticles (CuN) has gained attention due to its multifaceted action against several microbes. However, its impact on beneficial plant microbes has not much studied. To fill these knowledge gaps, copper nanoparticles were tested for antibacterial ability against well-known two plant biocontrol agents Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis by an in vitro bioassay using disk diffusion methodology.

Prodrugs, the inert derivatives of existing drugs have successfully contributed to the modification of their physicochemical properties. The improved antimicrobial potential due to enhanced lipophilicity of some of the synthesized prodrugs of antibacterial agents by various schemes has already been reported. In the current study, synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of some more lipid based prodrugs/- compounds of ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin has been carried out.
