Abstract

Screening of antibacterial and antitumour activities of 33 different extracts prepared with three types of solvents (water, ethanol and methanol) was conducted. The extracts were obtained from 11 different plant species grown in Turkey: L., (Buser) Rothm., Scop., L., Boiss., Wahlenb., L., C. C. Gmelin, Hoffm., L. and Boiss. Antibacterial activity against six bacteria was evaluated: , , , , and by using disc diffusion and well diffusion methods. and were most sensitive to the methanolic extract from . was vulnerable to all used extracts of . In addition, ethanolic or methanolic extracts of , , , , , and displayed strong antibacterial activity against at least one of the tested gram-negative bacteria. The methanolic extract from showed a broad-spectrum activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Antitumour activity was evaluated with -induced potato disc tumour assay. Best antitumour activity was obtained with the aqueous extract from and methanolic extract from (100% and 86% tumour inhibition, respectively).
