Abstract
Antimicrobial, Antifungal and HRBC Membrane Hemolysis and Membrane Stabilization Properties of Various Extracts of Justicia gendarussa
Highlights
Justicia gendarussa known as Gendarussa is an evergreen febrifuge, emetic, emmenogauge and diaphoretic shrub, found in all parts of India and Andaman Islands and is used for the treatment of lunacy, debility, snakebite, and amenorrhea and stomach troubles
The results indicated that the ethanol extract was found to be the most effective as it inhibited the growth of all the test bacteria, i.e., Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, B. pumilus, B.cereus, B. lecheniformis Salmonella typhi, and Streptococcus mutans (Table 1)
The aqueous extract inhibited the growth of all the bacteria, with maximum inhibition against Bacillus pumilus followed by Streptococcus mutans
Summary
Justicia gendarussa known as Gendarussa is an evergreen febrifuge, emetic, emmenogauge and diaphoretic shrub, found in all parts of India and Andaman Islands and is used for the treatment of lunacy, debility, snakebite, and amenorrhea and stomach troubles. Inflammation is a response by living tissue to any kind of injury and is characterized by pain, redness, heat and swelling.[6] Vasoactive chemicals increase the permeability of the arterioles which allows blood cells, chemical substances, blood proteins and fluids to accumulate in that region, and that fluid accumulation causes swelling.[6] The study investigated the HRBC membrane hemolysis and membrane stabilization, antifungal and antibacterial potentials of various extracts of the leaves of Justicia gendarussa
