Abstract
In this study, extracts from 50 Taiwanese folk medicinal plants were examined and screened for anti- Helicobacter pylori activity. Ninety-five percent ethanol was used for herbal extraction. Paederia scandens (Lour.) Merr. (PSM), Plumbago zeylanica L. (PZL), Anisomeles indica (L.) O. Kuntze (AIOK), Bombax malabaricum DC. (BMDC) and Alpinia speciosa (J. C. Wendl.) K. Schum. (ASKS) and Bombax malabaricum DC. (BMDC) all demonstrated strong anti- H. pylori activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration values of the anti- H. pylori activity given by the five ethanol herb extracts ranged from 0.64 to 10.24 mg ml −1. Twenty-six herbs, including Artemisia argvi Levl. et Vant (AALEV), Phyla nodiflora (Linn.) Greene (PNG) and others, showed moderate anti- H. pylori activity. The additional 19 herbs, including Areca catechu Linn. (ACL), Euphorbia hirta Linn. (EHL) and Gnaphalium adnatum Wall. ex DC. (GAWEDC), possessed lower anti- H. pylori effects. About half of the Taiwanese folk medicinal plants tested, demonstrated to possess higher anti- H. pylori activity.
