The bio-constituents extracted from Silybum marianum L plant and its effects as antimicrobial

Medicinal plants contain various phytochemicals that provide their beneficial properties.These phytochemicals contribute to the healing and therapeutic effects of the plants.The aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic extracts of Silybum marianum L were thoroughly examined to determine the presence of various metabolites.The analysis results revealed various components, including triterpenoids, steroids, tannins, proteins, glycosides, reducing sugars, alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, sugars, fats, fixed oils, and saponins.The yields obtained from leaves, seeds, and flowers were as follows: 58.71, 66.32, 63.34, 47.23, 51.39, 60.22, 42.37, 41.23, and 39.71%, respectively.The results of the quantitative evaluation demonstrated an impressive presence of tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids, with percentages of 48.21, 53.67, 72.38, and 68.41%, respectively.In addition, these extractions were carried out in order to evaluate their effectiveness against harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermis, as well as the fungal strain Candida albicans.The findings demonstrated significant potential for effectively inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria.
