Wild medicinal plants are considered one of the richest plants with active chemical substances, which were considered therapeutic alternatives for most diseases from antiquity until now, and western Iraq spreads many plants that have not been chemically studied to know their components and pharmacological effectiveness, so the chemical content of the most important active substances in the Ammi majus plant growing in the West Iraq, which belongs to the Apiaceae, which is rich in effective and therapeutic compounds, as the qualitative and quantitative determination of some active ingredients such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins and tannins, and the determination of flavonoids, whose quantity was 8,87%, from the aerial part of the plant using a thermal separation device Soxhlex extractor using ethanol alcohol 75% and testing their bioactivity The bacteria that were isolated from oral inflammatory diseases, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which were isolated from oral infections, the size of 100ml concentration (1 gm : 5 ml) of flavonide showed the effect of flavonoid inhibition (size 100 ml). Highest inhibitory effect on bacterial growth By the method of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, it found good inhibitory efficacy on Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 6.3 ml, and it was compared with some antibiotics, namely Erythromycin, Ciprofloxacin, and Amoxicillin.
