TLDR
In this paper, the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of ethanol extract of Myristica dactyloides were evaluated by the agar well diffusion method against E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus sp, and Staphylococcus aureus at different concentrations.Abstract:
In this present investigation we analysed the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of ethanol extract of Myristica dactyloides. The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was evaluated by the agar well diffusion method against of E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus sp, and Staphylococcus aureus at different concentrations. The antibacterial activity showed the result in a dose-dependent manner. The free radical scavenging was evaluated against DPPH, hydroxyl, and nitric oxide radicals. In DPPH, hydroxyl and nitric oxide scavenging assay showed the IC 50 value of the extract was found to be 20 μg/ml, 48.25 and 30 μg/ml, respectively. The plant can be considered as promising antioxidant properties with high potential value for drug development for various diseases.read more

TL;DR: The results show that the majority of the in vivo forms derive from cleavage products of the action of colonic bacterial enzymes and subsequent metabolism in the liver, and suggest that consideration should be given to the cleavage Products as having a putative role as physiologically relevant bioactive components in vivo.
