摘要：A part of our scientific research and exploration program is tantamount to discover newpharmaceutical raw materials from wild plants in the Egyptian desert plants. We areseeking to discover the areas where these plants grow. The wild plants were investigatedin terms of the chemical content of the active chemical groups, as well as studying theeffect of water and alcoholic extracts on microorganisms. This work focused on sevendifferent plant families containing eleven plants that collected from the eastern Egyptiandesert areas. These plants are Rhus abyssinica, Rhus tripartite, Solenostemma arghel,Periploca aphylla. Heliotropium zeylanicum, Euphorbia cuneata, Euphorbia scordifolia,Ricinus commzrnis. Cullen plicata (Delile), Flueggea virosa and finally Ziziphus spina.Plant extracts of the examined plants have both phytochemical and antimicrobialproperties. They were tested against ten strains of microorganisms, including four grampositive and four gram negative bacteria, one yeast and one fungus. Phytochemicalscreening of the alcoholic extracts of the plants, in question showed different profiles oftheir contents. The antimicrobial activity has been corroborated by the selected plantspecies, and the results indicated that the plant extracts differed in their effectivenessagainst the antimicrobial activity. The present study indicates that the extracts of theEgyptian wild plants are a significant source of compounds such as tannins, flavonoids,steroids , phenols and coumarins with antimicrobial activities which could be developedto agents of great clinical significance and useful in treating many diseases.
