ABSTRACT
Kazemipour N, Nikbin M, Valizadeh J, Ghaderi F., Sepehrimanesh M.,
Antimicrobial and chemical properties of
Calotropis procera
extracts, Onl J Vet Res., 18(11):
869-874 2014. Disc-diffusion tests using ethanol,
chloroform and water extracted flowers and leaves of C. procera against Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis,
Bacillus pumilus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Salmonella typhi are described. Gas chromatography/mass
spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis was used to analyze essential leaf oil of C. procera. C Procera leaf extract contained Phytol
(38.2 %), Caryophyllene oxide (26.9 %) and 1,5,5,8-Tetramethyl-12-oxabicyclo[9.1.0]dodeca-3,7-diene
(12.278 %), n-Hexadecanoic acid (4.224 %) and Pentadecanal (2.112 %). C. Procera had greatest activity against Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus
epidermidis and
least activity against Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus subtilis
Key words: Calotropis
procera, Antimicrobial activity, Essential oil, Klebsiella pneumonia.
