Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction The present study was designed to compare phytochemicals, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different extracts of leaves of Azardirachtaindica from Himachal Pradesh. In this study, different extracts of Azadirachtaindica leaves are screened for the occurrence of bioactive compounds. Objectives Analysis of Phytochemicals in various extracts of Azadirachtaindicaleaves. Comparative evaluation of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of various extracts of Azadirachtaindicaleaves againstE.coliandS.aureus.usingDPPH radical scavenging assay. Material & Methods The disc diffusion method was used to detect antibacterial activity of different extracts of Azadirachtaindicaleaves against gram positive and gram negative bacteria such as S. aureus, and E. coli respectively. The methanolic extract showed the more antibacterial and antioxidant activity as compared to that of other extracts. DPPH free radical scavenging assay was performed to check antioxidant potential of A. indiaca. Phytochemical screening of different extracts showed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenols, alkaloid, protein/amino acid, carbohydrates and steroids in different extracts of the A. indica leaves. Results The findings suggested that phytochemicals present in A. indica leavesare potentially beneficial as therapeutic and antioxidative agents in pharmaceuticals, medicinal and food industries.
