ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to determine the antibacterial properties against Helicobacter pylori and
the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of crude A. krervanh extracts. The minimum inhibitory concentrations
(MICs) of ethanolic and aqueous extracts were measured against standard strain H. pylori standard (ATCC 43504)
and six clinical isolates by disc diffusion and agar dilution. Anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated by measuring
the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages using the Griess assay and
the ELISA measurement of proinflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor ? (TNF-?), and interleukin 6 (IL-6).
Their cytotoxic activities against macrophages were determined by the MTT assay. ABTS and DPPH scavenging assays
measured the antioxidant activities. Only the ethanolic extract showed antibacterial activity with mean inhibition
zones of 9.0?19.3 mm for a corresponding MIC of 250 ?g/ml; the clarithromycin MICs ranged from 0.5?1 ?g/ml.
This extract also inhibited production of NO (mean IC50 98.99?0.39 ?g/ml) and IL-6 (mean IC50 18.68?2.16 ?g/ml)
and exhibited moderate antioxidant activity using DPPH and ABTS scavenging assays: mean IC50s 95.92?1.26 and
90.35?2.25 ?g/ml, respectively. Thus ethanolic extract showed a greater spectrum of activity that could be exploited
further as adjunct treatments of H. pylori related gastrointestinal disease.
