Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Essential oils have proved to possess valuable antimicrobial and antimicrobial activity. The present work aims at finding out potential of essential oils whose antimicrobial activities have not been fully explored. The review of literature suggests that the essential oil of Zanthoxylum has good antimicrobial potential. It was considered to procure essential oil from the market and evaluate the same for chemical consistency and antimicrobial activity. This strengthens the belief that we should also undertake studies which should be of commercial significance and not only screening of medicinal plants. It is therefore, imperative to search alternative drugs for the treatment of microbial diseases to replace the existing drugs of doubtful efficacy and safety. The present research paper reveals the evaluation of seed oil of Zanthoxylum armatum for Antimicrobial Activity.
