The Antibiotic Principle of Seeds of Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala
Abstract
4(α-L-Rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate was identified as an active antimicrobial agent form seeds of Moringa oleifera and M. stenopetala . Roots of M. oleifera only contain this compound and benzyl isothiocyanate, but not pterygospermin as previously suggested. Defatted and shell free seeds of both species contain about 8-10% of 4(α-L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate, but this amount is produced from M. oleifera only when asorbic acid is added during water extraction. The compound acts on several bacteria and fungi. The minimal bactericidal concentration in vitro is 40 µmol/l for Mycobacterium phlei and 56 µmol/l for Bacillus subtilis . Key Word Index Moringa oleifera - Moringa stenopetala - Moringaceae - Antimicrobial Activity - Mustard Oil - 4 (α-L-rhamnosyloxy)benzyl isothiocyanate 1 Part of the projected dissertation of U. E ILERT , also presented as a poster during the Intern. Res. Congress on Natural Products as Medicinal Agents, Strasbourg, July 1980 [Planta Medica, 39 , 235 (1980)]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
