Antibacterial activity of solanum esculentum and solanum trilobatum and isolation of bioactive compounds

Humans have gathered food and medicinal herbs ever since their arrival on earth and were guided then by instinct, followed by experience and also by rational thought. For millions of years, mankind has fared quite well using this approach, but after the development of science and technology, people felt that the current state of affairs was quite satisfactory and hence, they failed to support research and education adequately. Therefore, it is time to examine more closely what we are eating, how diseases can be treated more efficiently, and how we can effectively conserve our natural resources. One of our natural resources is the plants in remote forests, some of which may contain compounds of potential medical use. The aim of this work is to determine the antibacterial activity of Solanum esculentum and Solanum trilobatum, to isolate the bioactive compounds from Solanum esculentum and Solanum trilobatum and to identify the isolated bioactive compounds from Solanum esculentum.
