UPLC-MS profiling, antimicrobial and antipyretic activities of Deverra scoparia Coss. & Dur. extracts

This study aimed to evaluate antimicrobial and antipyretic activities of infusion
and ethereal extracts. The antimicrobial activity was tested using disk diffusion method against bacterial and fungal
strains. While the antipyretic activity was assessed by yeast induced pyrexia in rats at doses of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg for
each extract. Results showed a strong antimicrobial activity range by the extracts; the infusion extract has an
increased inhibition from 45 ±0.004 mm and 52±0.003 mm with bactericidal effect against all bacterial strains tested.
The ethereal extract presented a strong antimicrobial activity about 32 ±0.001 mm and 48±0.001 mm with bacteriostatic
effect with a value equal to 8 for all strains. The administration of infusion and ethereal extracts produced significant
