In phytochemical studies with ethanolic extract of
Praxelis clematidea was isolated six flavonoids15. This
class is increasingly becoming an object of investigation,
and many studies have isolated and identified flavonoids
that possess antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial
activities. In addition, various studies have demonstrated
synergy between active flavonoids, and between
flavonoids and conventional chemotherapeutic agents16,17
.
Based on promising source of antimicrobial effects
provided by species of the family Asteraceae, in
particular those containing species flavonoid as secondary
metabolites. The aimed of the present study were to
investigate the antimicrobial effects of Chloroform Phase
of the aerial parts of Praxelis clematidea R.M. King &
