In an ethnopharmacological screening of selected medicinal plants used in Nepal, methanol extracts from 21 plant species were assayed for activity against 8 strains of bacteria and 5 strains of fungi. Duplicate assays were conducted with and without exposure to UV-A radiation to test for light-activated or light-enhanced activity. All 21 of the extracts showed activity against at least 2 bacterial strains, and 20 showed activity against at least 2 fungi. Six extracts were active only when exposed to UV-A light, and the antibiotic or antifungal effect of 14 extracts was enhanced upon exposure to light.
在对尼泊尔使用的选定药用植物进行的民族药理学筛选中,对21种植物的甲醇提取物进行了针对8种细菌菌株和5种真菌菌株的活性测定。在有和没有暴露于UV-A辐射的情况下进行了重复测定,以测试光激活或光增强活性。所有21种提取物均显示出对至少2种细菌菌株有活性,20种提取物显示出对至少2种真菌有活性。6种提取物仅在暴露于UV-A光时才有活性,14种提取物在暴露于光后其抗生素或抗真菌作用增强。
