Evaluation of Antibacterial Properties of Neem Seed Oil

Abstract

Neem is a potent blood purifier, detoxifier, and fever reducer according to Ayurvedic scriptures. Neem's astringent properties aid in the promotion of healing even further. Medicated neem oil is considered one of the best for treating skin conditions. Neem works well as an anti-inflammatory for discomfort in the muscles and joints. Diterpenesuginol, nimbiol (bark), triterpenes, beta-sitosterol, stigmastrol (leaf), Limonoids, Malliantriol (seed oil), Nimbendiol (seed oil), and azardiractin (seed) are among the groups of substances that have been isolated from the plant in good amounts. These compounds are sulphurous. In summary, this investigation unequivocally demonstrated the antibacterial efficacy of neem oil against bacterial strains isolated from various environments. Today, more research on antimicrobials originating from plants is required. To identify the antibacterial chemicals found in these plants and to ascertain the full range of their activity, more investigation is required. Nonetheless, the current investigation into the in vitro antibacterial assessment of specific plants serves as a foundation for future phytochemical and pharmacological research aimed at finding novel antibacterial medications.
