A Review Antimicrobial Mechanisms of Polyherbal Extracts: Role of Phenolics, Flavonoids, and Alkaloids
Abstract
Indian medicinal plants have been considered as the best natural resources since they contain highly effective compounds such as polyphenols and alkaloids that are capable of killing the germs in a stronger way since the plants can directly attack and kill these microorganisms and also they can hinder the processes of forming protection in the form of biofilm against bacteria and fungi infections. The twin problems of the germs becoming resistant to our drugs and the damage that some synthetic antimicrobial agents do to the environment, then it becomes necessary to devote more research to the development of new ecologically friendly drugs, even more so the pharmaceuticals industry is enjoying the rising trend of using plants as excipients the non active constituents of a drug which are creating new innovative approaches of dealing with and solving existing problems of getting medicines effectively into the human body
