Discussion

Research reveals antimicrobial, antidiarrheal, and analgesic properties of Moringa oleifera leaves, suggesting valuable medicinal potential.

The extract of Moringa oleifera shows broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi, with inhibition rates up to 19 mm.
In antidiarrheal testing, a 400 mg/kg dose reduced diarrheal episodes by 58.06%, indicating significant efficacy compared to control.
Molecular docking analysis identified strong binding affinities for key compounds with therapeutic targets, underscoring their potential utility.
ADME/T analysis indicates selected bioactive compounds have optimal drug-likeness, suggesting promising avenues for clinical applications.

Taher et al. (2025) studied this question.
