Table 1 Plant species investigated in vitro for their activity against M. smegmatis and M. aurum.

From: Investigation of the antimycobacterial activity of African medicinal plants combined with chemometric analysis to identify potential leads

  1. 1 to 7 are fractions F1 to F7. Green shaded boxes indicate active fractions (MIC ≤ 200 µg/mL). Red shaded boxes indicate inactive fractions (MIC > 200 µg/mL). The extraction and SPE fractionation process led to the realisation of 36 extracts and their 252 SPE fractions. Two different parts of the plants H. flavescens, C. mackenii, T. simleri, C. jagus and C. asiactum were used in the study.
  2. L leaves, B bulbs, WP whole plant, R roots, S stem, F flower, LF leaf and flowers, and T tuber.
  3. aEriocephalus africanus var. paniculatus. Plant species names and families were verified on the World Flora Online database (http://www.worldfloraonline.org/).
