tailieunhanh - Comparative antimicrobial efficacy evaluation of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Ayurvedic vaginal formulation for treatment of vaginitis

This in-vitro study evaluates the antibacterial &antifungal action of aqueous & alcoholic extracts of new herbal vaginal formulation containing equal amounts of Symplocos racemosa Roxb. and Ficus glomerata Roxb. stem barks against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and candid fungus by using the methods of zone of inhibition and minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) to assess its efficacy in treating vaginitis. During phytochemical analysis, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and carbohydrates were found to be present in both extracts. Total phenol content (TPC) determined using the Folin- Ciocalteu reagent was found to be and Gallic acid equivalent/mg in the aqueous and alcoholic extract respectively. The results of minimum inhibition concentration study suggest higher antimicrobial activity by the alcoholic extract than the aqueous extract and more pronounced antibacterial action than the anti-fungal action by both extracts. The MIC values were also higher in case of fungal species as compared to all the bacterial species, while among the bacterial species, MIC was found to be higher in case of gram negative bacteria than gram positive bacteria except Staphylococcus aureus. Determination of the diameter of zone of inhibition during disk diffusion study suggested higher antibacterial action than anti-fungal action, and stronger antibacterial effect upon Gram positive bacteria than Gram negative bacteria by all extracts. The alcoholic extract exhibited higher zones of inhibition than aqueous extract for all antimicrobial categories. Similarly, antimicrobial efficacy of alcoholic extract using 8 mg per disk drug dosage was a little lower but comparable to effect of the standard drugs at 10µg/disc level. The overall antimicrobial effect of the research extracts was significant and comparable but a little lower when compared to the standard drugs. | Comparative antimicrobial efficacy evaluation of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Ayurvedic vaginal formulation for treatment of vaginitis
