Study demonstrates the antimicrobial potential of Linn. plant extract against biofilm-forming pathogens, including MRSA, through interference with quorum sensing. Bioactive compounds quercetin and kaempferol show promise, but drug-like properties need further investigation for potential as novel therapeutics against antimicrobial resistance.
The study found that the methanolic extract of P. foetida leaves (PFLE) showed no toxicity, reduced blood sugar levels, increased body weight, and had anti-hemostasis effects. Deep learning predicted that Cleomiscosins, found in PFLE, have potential as drugs for managing diabetes and thrombophilia.
