Antibacterial Potential of Rumex Vesicarius: A Phytochemical Perspective
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Known as a rich source of physiologically active metabolites, Rumex vesicarius has had multiple uses in Arabian traditional medicine. Present study focused on phytochemical profiling and antimicrobial effects of methanolic extracts of R. vesicarius leaves and flowers (MRL & MRF). GCMS used for detection of bioactive compounds showed the existence of numerous bioactive compounds such as fatty acids, flavonoids, and steroids. Microbial sensitivity assessed by well diffusion method showed significant activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. To isolate the active ingredients and to further investigate their extensive biological functions, more investigation is required.
