7. Bioactivity in plants: the link between phytochemistry and medicine
TL;DR: The development of medicinal plant research over the last 30 years is reviewed with reference to the search for new active principles, and difficulties inherent to activity guided isolation and the specific requirements of bioassays are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traditional medicine in north Côte-d'Ivoire: screening of 50 medicinal plants for antibacterial activity.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that some of the studied plants might indeed be potential sources of new antibacterial agents, also against some antibiotic-resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rapid TLC bioautographic method for the detection of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors in plants
TL;DR: A simple and rapid bioautographic enzyme assay on TLC plates has been developed for the screening of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholiersterase inhibition by plant extracts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential of African Plants as a Source of Drugs
TL;DR: An outline is presented here covering the results obtained by the Institute of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry of the University of Lausanne during 15 years' work on African plants, covering all aspects from the selection of plant material to the isolation of pure natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bioautographic agar overlay method for the detection of antifungal compounds from higher plants
TL;DR: A simple bioautographic agar overlay assay using Candida albicans as the indicator organism for the detection and activity-guided fractionation of antifungal compounds by thin layer chromatography has been developed andhibition of fungal growth was assessed.
