Abstract

Background: In different types of microbes, various defense mechanisms have evolved against the commercially available antimicrobial agents with increased resistance. Natural antimicrobial agents of plant origin are better alternatives when an infectious disease arises due to resistant microbial strains. Here, we have evaluated the efficacy of total phenolics and total flavonoids with antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of Artemisia sieversiana Ehrhl Ex Willd. plant extracted with methanol, ethyl acetate, ethanol, n-hexane, and chloroform using soxhlet extraction procedures.

Methods: The evaluation of TPC was achieved with Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent method and quantitative estimation of TFC was done with the aluminum chloride colorimetric method. The antioxidant activities were estimated using FRSA-DPPH and TAC methods. The inhibitory activities of five solvent extracts of A. sieversiana against 2 gram-positive and 2 gram-negative pathogenic bacterial strains (B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and E. coli) were evaluated using the well diffusion technique.

Results: The highest percentage yields of A. sieversiana extracts were obtained in ethanol (4.8 g, 12.1%) and methanol (4.01 g, 10%), while minimum extract yield was obtained in n-hexane (0.53 g, 1.34%). Both phenolics and flavonoids were higher in ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate extracts while minimal in n-hexane extracts. Ethanol extract has shown maximum (69%) DPPH activity with a lower IC50 value (181 μg/ml), while the highest IC50 values of 330 and 325μg/ml were recorded for n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts. The ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts displayed overall highest TAC values. All the tested extracts of A. sieversiana exhibited variable inhibitory effects in a dose-dependent manner against the tested bacterial strains with minimum 9.08 ± 0.23 to maximum 21.23 ± 7.04 mm inhibition zones. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts at 2 to 4 mg/ml showed greater MIC results against P. aeruginosa in comparison to the B. subtilis strain.

Conclusion: The extracts of A. sieversiana have been found to be rich in TPC and TFC with remarkable antibacterial and antioxidant efficacies, and the plant extracts could be employed as possible alternatives to synthetic drugs in various nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
