contents of aerial parts of salvia leriifolia benth

In the present study, we have reported the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of aerial parts of salvia leriifolia extracts and fractions. methanolic, nhexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts were screened to analysis their antioxidant activities by four complementary test systems, namely dpph free radical scavenging activity (rsa), total phenolic content (tpc), total flavonoid content (tfc), and ferrous ion cheating (fic). in most cases the leaf extracts and ethyl acetate fraction had more activity. the methanolic extracts of leaf and flower showed considerable antimicrobial activity using disc diffusion method against escherichia coli, streptococcus pneumonia, acinetobacter, serratia, pseudomonas aeruginosa. the extracts showed the highest activity against p. aeruginosa and k. pneumonia .
