Phytochemical Analysis and Antibacterial Activity of Dipterocarpus turbinatus Leaf Extracts against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstract
Introduction: In this research, Dipterocarpus turbinatus leaf extracts in aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, hexane, and methanol were examined for their phytochemical components and antimicrobial activity.
Methods: Bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (a gram-positive bacterium) and Klebsiella pneumonia (a gram-negative bacterium) were tested for antimicrobial action. The extracts from the leaves demonstrated broad-spectrum anti-bacterial action against these microbes.
Result: Acids, proteins, phenols, carbohydrates, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, cardiac glycosides, steroids, tannins, starch, triterpenoids, and terpenoids were among the frequently found phytochemical components in D. turbinatus leaf extracts.
Conclusion: Traditional herbal medicines, which are widely used in developed countries as well as in the developing world, can benefit greatly from the antimicrobial properties of these plants, which have been used by humans for centuries without showing any signs of toxicity.
