Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition having antibiotic qualities is disclosed. The pharmaceutical composition includes a plurality of leaves and stems of the plant Justicia secunda, wherein the plurality of leaves and stems dried and pulverized to form a coarse powder; and an organic solvent, the coarse powder combined with the organic solvent for one to ten days, but preferably seven days, to form an organic solvent extract that yields a powder composition under column chromatography.
Claims15
A pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- a plurality of leaves and stems of the plant Justicia secunda, the plurality of leaves and stems dried and pulverized to form a coarse powder;
- and
- an organic solvent, the coarse powder combined with the organic solvent for at least one day to form an organic solvent extract that yields a powder composition under column chromatography.
A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of leaves and stems of the plant Justicia secunda;
- drying the plurality of leaves and stems;
- pulverizing the plurality of leaves and stems to form a coarse powder;
- providing an organic solvent;
- combining the coarse powder with the organic solvent for at least one day;
- filtering the organic solvent to provide an organic solvent extract;
- and
- separating the organic solvent extract using column chromatography to yield a powder composition.
A method of preparing an antibiotic powder, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of leaves and stems of the plant Justicia secunda;
- drying the plurality of leaves and stems;
- pulverizing the plurality of leaves and stems to form a coarse powder;
- providing a methyl alcohol solution;
- combining the coarse powder with the methyl alcohol solution for at least one day;
- filtering the methyl alcohol solution to provide an organic solvent extract;
- and
- separating the organic solvent extract using column chromatography to yield an antibiotic powder composition, the column chromatography using silica gel as the stationary phase and 20% ethyl acetate in hexane as the mobile phase.
