筛选了伊拉克本土植物(327种)的抗菌活性和生物碱含量。这些植物属于49科221属。用Mayer和Dragendorff试剂检测乙醇提取物中生物碱的存在。其中32科109属146种,两种试剂的生物碱检测均呈阳性。其中,26属以前未报道含有生物碱植物。用琼脂稀释条纹法测定了提取物对6种经济上重要的微生物的体外抗菌活性。5种具有高活性,90种对1种或1种以上微生物表现弱活性。
Indigenous Iraqi plant species (327) were screened for their antimicrobial activities and for the presence of alkaloids. The plants represent 221 genera and 49 families. Ethanolic extracts were tested for the presence of alkaloids with both Mayer''s and Dragendorff''s reagents. Of these, 146 spp. belonging to 109 genera distributed among 32 families showed positive alkaloid tests to both reagents. Of these, 26 genera have not been previously reported as containing alkaloid-bearing plants. The extracts were also tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity by an agar dilution-streak method against 6 economically significant microbes. Five species were highly active, while another 90 spp. showed weak activity against 1 or more microorganisms.
