In-vitro studies on the primitive pharmacological activities of Andrographis paniculata and Centella asiatica
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
From ancient times, Medicinal plants were used for the treatment of various deadly diseases. Especially Asian countries like India, srilanka, Indonesia etc., were used medicinal plants as a potential curing agent for various diseases and used in their different medicinal system named ayurvedic, siddha etc.,. Andrographis paniculata from Acanthaceae and Centella asiatica from Apiaceae were make a mile stone in the traditional medicine. Both of these plants contain phytochemicals such as flavonoids, flavones, and diterpenoides etc., They have various pharmacological activities whereas in the present study we clearly investigate their antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities in their leaves extracts. Our research reveals that the aqueous extract shows maximum inhibitory effect against the tested bacteria and fungi when compared to others. In addition to that we evidenced that these extracts also have antioxidant activity.
