Antimicrobial, Antioxidant Properties And Phytochemical Analysis Of Opilia Amentaceae
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 5
Abstract
Plants produce thousands of specialized metabolites, many of which have medicinal uses. Over the next few years, the study of medicinal plants as antimicrobial agents should be focused on ascertaining specific information about the plant’s antimicrobial activity. In the present investigation the phytochemical, antimicrobial and DPPH radial scavenging activities were screened by using two plants namely Opilia amentaceaea and Anogeissus latifolia. Different solvent extracts were used in the phytochemical analysis to elucidate the tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids, Catachins and Sugars from these plants. Significantly Anthroquinones are present only in Anogeissus latifolia. Both of these plants inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella entericatyphimurium, Shigella dysentriae, Klebseilla pneumoniae. In DPPH assay maximum inhibition (70.800) was observed at 200 μg/ml concentration of Anogeissus latifolia and maximum percentage of inhibition (66.426) was observed at 500 μg/ml concentration of Opilia amentaceae.
