(Euphorbiaceae), Faujasiopsis flexuosa (Lam.) C. Jeffrey (Asteraceae), Toddalia asiatica (L.) Lam. and Vepris lanceolata (Lam.) G. Don (Rutaceae), were screened for antimicrobial activity. Our results showed that twenty out of twenty-eight tested extracts possessed antibacterial activity against at least one of the four test bacteria, while 17 extracts showed antifungal activity against at least one of the two test fungi. Furthermore, eight extracts obtained from these plants were found to elicit contractile responses in isolated rat smooth muscles in-vitro. Attempts were also made towards the validation of three herbal teas prescribed by traditional healers.

Sonuçlara göre denenen 28 ekstreden 20 sinin denenen dört bakteriden en az birine karfl› antibakteriyel aktivite gösterdi¤i, di¤er taraftan 17 ekstrenin denenen iki mantardan en az birine karfl› antifungal aktivite gösterdi¤i saptand›. Ayr›ca bu bitkilerden elde edilen sekiz ekstrenin, in vitro da izole edilen s›çan düz kaslar›nda kas›lmaya sebep oldu¤u belirlendi. Ayr›ca geleneksel yöntemlerle tedavi yapanlar›n reçetelerine yazmalar› için üç bitki çay›n›n yürürlü¤e girmesi girifliminde bulunuldu.
