EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF AERVA LANATA ALONG WITH PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial properties and phytochemical evaluation of of Aerva lanata. The organic solvent ( Ethanol, Methanol, Hexane) and water extracts from the whole plant of Aerva lanata (Amaranthaceae) were tested against, Salmonella typhimurium, Proteus vulagaris, Shigella dysenteriae and a fungal pathogen Candida albicans by Agar disc diffusion method. The results showed prominent antimicrobial activity against the tested microbial pathogens. Of all those, Methanol extract was found to give a strong antimicrobial effect when compared to the other extracts (Ethanol, Hexane and water). Phytochemicals like tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, antraquinones, saponins and terpenoids are found in the tested samples.
