A review of the ethnomedicinal uses, chemistry, and pharmacological properties of the genus Acanthus (Acanthaceae)
2022, Journal of EthnopharmacologyCitation Excerpt :In another study of different leaf extracts, seven methicillin-resistant microorganisms responsible for skin infection were evaluated, namely, C. albicans, Lactobacillus plantarum, P. aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermis S. aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Trichophyton rubrum. Chloroform extract showed the highest activity against all microorganisms, except for the S. epidermis and L. plantarum, to which acetone and methanol were the most active (Govindasamy and Arulpriya, 2013). Ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts from leaf, stem, and root of the same plant were assessed by the cub-plate method to detect the efficiency against nine bacterial strains: Bacillus megaterium, Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella paratyphi B, Shigella dycentreae, Staphylococcus albus, and Streptococcus mutans, and the fungus Aspergillus flavus and C. albicans.
Evaluation of biological activity and in silico molecular docking studies of Acanthus ilicifolius leaf extract against four multidrug-resistant bacteria
2022, Informatics in Medicine UnlockedCitation Excerpt :The plant's root is used as a traditional medicine for cough, asthma, leucorrhea, and paralysis. [18]. According to phytochemical investigations, Acanthus ilicifolius contains a number of significant chemical substances, including triterpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, phenols, flavonoids, steroids, etc. [19–21]. Active compounds found in the Acanthus ilicifolius have the potential to be employed as antibacterial medicines [22].

Comments Skin infection is a worldwide health problem. So this is a good study in which the authors work in the pathogens which are antibiotic resistance. The final results are interesting and the extracts are having the potential compounds for its activity.
