Description
Nava-Solis and co-authors test a plant extract against harmful bacteria in a 2025 study. The plant, Neltuma laevigata, is a dry-land tree used in folk care for eye, stomach, and skin infections. The team drew the alkaloid part from its flower clusters, gathered in Puebla, Mexico. Tests ran against staph and cholera bacteria in dishes and broth.
The extract fought both germs well. Leakage tests and glowing dye views pointed to damage at the cell membrane. Sorting the mix yielded a known compound, julifloridine, found in this species for the first time. The authors back the folk use and flag the extract for deeper study.
