Abstract

Objective : Coptis rhizoma is traditional herb in Korean medicine, and Pelargonium sidoides extract has been used for relief of acute bronchitis in Western medicine. The present study examined the antibacterial effect of fusion formulation of Coptis rhizoma extract and Pelargonium sidoides extract against bronchial diseases bacteria. Methods : Test sample, fusion formulation of Korean and Western medicine, was prepared by mixing Coptis rhizoma extract and Pelargonium sidoides extract at a ratio of 1:2 (w/w). Antimicrobial properties of test sample were determined by agar diffusion assay and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against bronchus diseases bacteria. Results : In agar diffusion assay, the highest amount of test sample (4 mg/disk) exhibited antibacterial activity against all microorganisms tested. Test sample showed the high activity for S. aureus (19.5 mm), C. diptheriae (16.5 mm), A. fumigatus (19.3 mm), F. nucleatum (22.7 mm) and Mycobactrium sp. (17.3 mm), whereas it showed a low activity for K. pneumonia (9.7 mm). The MIC value was determined as $250{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against C. diptheriae. Test sample showed better growth inhibitory effects against S. aureus and A. fumigatus with the MIC valus of $125{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Conclusion : These results suggest the possibility of application to chronic respiratory diseases of fusion formulation of Korean and Western medicine, which was prepared with Coptis rhizoma extract and Pelargonium sidoides extract.
