Psychotria is a plant genus in the family Rubiaceae. Members of the genus are low trees in tropical forests. The distinction between Psychotria and the genus Cephaelis are not well known and many species were formerly placed there.
Many species produce important chemicals, such Psychotria ipecacuanha or the number of DMT-containing taxa, namely Psychotria viridis. Others are rare or even nearly extinct due to deforestation, mainly species of central Africa and the Pacific.
The methanol extracts of leaves, root and stem barks of Psychotria microlabastra showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity, that was increased on fractionation (petrol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate), particularly in the ethyl acetate fractions. None of the extractives showed activity against the tested moulds.
