Variability in Biological Activities of Satureja montana Subsp. montana and Subsp. variegata Based on Different Extraction Methods

Milica Acimovic et al.

Summary: Winter savory is a plant with wide-ranging activities and applications. Different extracts obtained through various extraction methods showed antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Among them, essential oil and subcritical water displayed the highest antimicrobial activity, while extracts obtained through ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction did not show antimicrobial activity. The use of green extraction methods can provide ecologically and economically better solutions for future applications.

Antibacterial activity and mechanism of plant flavonoids to gram-positive bacteria predicted from their lipophilicities

Ganjun Yuan et al.

Summary: This study established regression equations between physicochemical parameters of flavonoids and their antibacterial activities, indicating that lipophilicity is a key factor for their effectiveness against gram-positive bacteria. Results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentrations of most flavonoids against gram-positive bacteria could be roughly calculated from their lipophilicity, and suggested that the cell membrane is the main target of flavonoids in exerting antibacterial effects.
