IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL COMPONENTS IN LEAF EXTRACTS OF GLOBE ARTICHOKE (CYNARA SCOLYMUS L.)

A.J. Mossi, S. Echeverrigaray
The antibacterial activity of the dichloromethanic and ethanolic extracts of Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) was investigated. Dichloromethanic extracts, in concentrations of 5mg/ml, completely inhibited the growth with a bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis. Five different components with antimicrobial activity were identified.
