Abstract
Vaginal infections are mainly caused by various microorganisms that infect the vaginal tract and are a more common condition in women that can lead to various diseases such as vaginitis, urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, etc. Cassia tora (family Leguminosae/ Fabaceae), is a plant with tremendous medicinal properties, possessing many pharmacological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The chloroform and aqueous extract of leaves of Cassia tora exhibited antibacterial activity (50-250 mg/ml) against six bacterial strains respectively out of 56 various bacterial strains. The MIC values range from (12.5-100 mg/ml) against those bacterial strains. Phytochemical studies have shown that the leaf extract contains flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, tannins, oils, and reducing sugars, as well as antioxidant activity was performed using a DPPH assay against chloroform and an aqueous extract of Cassia tora leaves. The traditional medicinal properties of leaves of Cassia tora were evaluated to determine an antibacterial property of leaf extracts against vaginal microflora which cause vaginal infection, to analyse the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant properties of this plant, as in future, the plant extracts of this plant will be incorporated with the commercial intimate washes and in cosmetics products.
