Figures & data
Table 1. Antimicrobial activity of Disthemonanthus benthamianus ethanol extract against the tested microbial strains.
Table 2. Antimicrobial activity of Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides ethanol extract against the tested microbial strains.
Figure 1. IC50 values of D. benthamianus and Z. zanthoxyloides extracts and standard ascorbic acid. DE, D. benthamianus ethanol extract; DA, D. benthamianus aqueous extract; ZE, Z. zanthoxyloides ethanol extract; ZA, Z. zanthoxyloides aqueous extract. DPPH solution was mixed with an equal volume of the extract and the absorbance was measured at 520 nm. Results are averages ± SD for ≥ 3 determinations.
Figure 2. Ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity values of D. benthamianus and Z. zanthoxyloides extracts. Antioxidant properties of the extracts were expressed as ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity, calculated from at least three different concentrations of extract tested in the assay giving a linear response. DE, D. benthamianus ethanol extract; DA, D. benthamianus aqueous extract; ZE, Z. zanthoxyloides ethanol extract; ZA, Z. zanthoxyloides aqueous extract. Results are averages ± SD for ≥ 3 determinations.
Figure 3. Total antioxidant capacity determined as FRAP (Ferric reducing/antioxidant power) of D. benthamianus, Z. zanthoxyloides extracts and standard ascorbic acid. DE, D. benthamianus ethanol extract; DA, D. benthamianus aqueous extract; ZE, Z. zanthoxyloides ethanol extract; ZA, Z. zanthoxyloides aqueous extract. Results are averages ± SD for ≥ 3 determinations.
