The purpose of this study was to antibacterial effect of solanum nigrum extra in candida albicans. In this study, the antibacterial effects of 70% methanol extract and solanum nigraum were investigated. The content of flavonoids and polyphenol contents in solanum nigrum extraction. The antimicrobial activity was determined by spectrophotometric growth inhibition assay(optical density) and colony forming untis (CFU) for the candida albicans. Total contents were flavonoids and polyphenols of solanum nigrum, the result was $8.23{\pm}0.13mg/g$ and $14.97{\pm}1.58mg/g$, respectively. The CFU results showed lower CFU counts in the experimental groups compared to the control group. And the result of the bacterial viability was decreased in the experimental group. Therefore the extracts of solanum nigrum were found to have antimicrobial activity in candida albicans. From the these results, solanum nigrum extracts have a possibility to be a candidate for natural antibacterial components in dental products.

Dried leaves of Raphanus sativus L. and Angelica keiskei L. extracts have strong antioxidant potential and in consequence profound effects on ulcerative colitis. Present study was conducted to explore the effect of diet mixtures containing dried leaves of Raphanus sativus and Angelica keiskei powder on ulcerative colitis in mice and antioxidant potential of radish green and Angelica extracts as well. Both dried leaves of Raphanus sativus and Angelica keiskei extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity due to the presence of polyphenols, favonoids and antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD). Analyzed data indicate that Angelica keiskei extract had higher polyphenol and flavonoid contents compared with radish green, while maximum SOD activity was noted in dried leaves of Raphanus sativus extract Likewise, higher antioxidant ($348.72{\pm}31.65{\mu}g/mL$) and $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging (17%) activities were noted in dried leaves of Raphanus sativus extract compared with Angelica keiskei.
