   • According to KHAN A (2008)

     Excerpt Results & Major conclusion: The compound showed significant antibacterial activities against four Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus β-haemolyticus) & six Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi). In the present study in vitro antibacterial, antifungal & cytotoxic activities of 3,5-diacetyltambulin which is a flavonoid isolated from Amorphophallus campanulatus was studied.

   • According to KHAN A (2008)

     Excerpt Results: Large zones of inhibition were observed in disc diffusion antibacterial screening against four Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus aureus & Streptococcus pyogenes) & six Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Salmonella typhi). To assess the in vitro antibacterial, antifungal & cytotoxic activities of amblyone, a triterpenoid isolated from Amorphophallus campanulatus (Roxb).

   • According to Kadali VN (2016)

     Excerpt The ethanolic tuber extract of the plant shown inhibitory effect on four bacterial species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli & Streptococcus mutans. The ethanolic extract of peel showed inhibitory effect only on two bacterial species such as Staphylococcus aureus & Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

   • According to MUTHUKAMARAN P (2016)

     Excerpt In antibacterial activity, among four extracts, ethyl acetate extract showed maximum activity f or Bacillus subtilis MTCC 121 (7.5 mm zone of inhibition) & Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 737 (7 mm of zone of inhibition). Ethanolic extracts showed the zone of inhibition of 3.75 mm for Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 737 & 4 mm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 424.

   • According to Peraman M (2017)

     Excerpt In antibacterial activity, among four extracts, ethyl acetate extract showed maximum activity for Bacillus subtilis - MTCC 121 (7.5 mm zone of inhibition) & Staphylococcus aureus - MTCC 737 (7 mm of zone of inhibition). Ethanolic extracts showed the zone of inhibition of 3.75 mm for Staphylococcus aureus - MTCC 737 & methanolic extract showed 4 mm of inhibition for Pseudomonas aeruginosa - MTCC 424.Thus the above studies give basic idea about importance of bioactive compound from these medicinal plants and we can go for further purification & isolation of biologically active molecules from the AP.
