Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the constituents of Terminalia laxiflora oil and to evaluate its antimicrobial potency. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 54 components. Main constituents are: 9-Z-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (17.65%%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (16.16%), 9, 12-Z, Z-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester (15.32%), methyl stearate (8.10%).
The antimicrobial activity of the oil was assessed against five standard human pathogens (Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis; Gram negative: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the yeast Candida albicans. The oil showed good activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. However, It exhibited partial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. It seems that the oil is a lead for further optimization.
