Mohamad, Suriyati (2017) Investigating the anti-tuberculosis property of Pluchea indica (beluntas) and Angiopteris evecta (paku gajah) using surrogate organisms. Technical Report. Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Pluchea indica and Angiopteris evecta have been used widely in traditional medicine to treat a variety of illnesses including symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) and thus, could provide alternative sources of anti-TB compounds. Preliminary in vitro anti-mycobacterial screening of solvent partitions of both plant materials, using tetrazolium microdilution assay showed that the leaf n-hexane of P. indica exhibited the highest inhibitory activity with MIC of 200 pg/mL against M. kansasii. The highest activity for A. evecta was also exhibited by its leaf n-hexane partition with MIC of 50 pg/mL against M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
