Studies on phytochemical and anti-microbial activities of natural plants extract

Abstract

A green chemistry approach is employed for the biological studies of the Aegle Marmelos (AM), Alypha Indica (AI), Acacia Arabica (AA), Ocimum Tenuiflorum (OT), Solanum Melongena (SM), Catharanthus Roseus (CR), Mongifera Indica (MI), Phylanthus Emblica (PE), Ficus Glomerata (FG), Acorus Calamus (AC), and AM, AI, AA,OT, SM, CR, MI, PE, FG, AC with lemon using solvent like water. The plant extracts were characterized by UV-VISIBLE, FTIR, XRD, anti-bacterial and anti fungal studies. These extract were tested for anti-microbial activity against human pathogens viz., the result revealed that the plants extract contains phytochemical constitutions. The active compounds were identified by UV-VISIBLE, FT-IR and XRD studies. These biologically active compounds are found to be effective in controlling growth of human pathogens. This study concludes that the extract of AM, AI, AA,OT, SM, CR, MI, PE, FG, AC with lemon contains good anti-bacterial activity and anti fungal activities against tested microorganisms. It also concluded that AM, AI, AA, OT, SM, CR, MI, PE, FG, AC with lemon extract can be explored to discover the bioactive natural products that may serve as leads in the development of new pharmaceuticals.
