Bioprotective properties of three Malaysia Phyllanthus species: an investigation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities

The aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial of Phyllanthus amarus, Phyllanthus niruri and Phyllanthus urinaria. P. niruri was found to possess the highest antioxidant activity, the activity decreased in the order P. niruri > P. amarus > P. urinaria for water ext...
