IN VITRO SCREENING FOR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF VARIOUS EXTRACT OF CENTRATHERUM ANTHELMINTICUM SEEDS
Journal Title: Asian J of Pharm Sci & Tech - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT The antibacterial effect of various extracts of Kalijiri (Centratherum Anthelminticum) seeds was studied. Kalijiri seeds extracts were obtained by soxhlet extraction method solvent using solvents ethanol, petroleum ether, hexane, chloroform, diethyl ether. The extracts were assayed for antimicrobial activity and bacterial growth inhibition activity by agar well diffusion method. The results showed that ehtanolic extract has good antibacterial activity with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against Pesudomonas aurigenousa and K.pneumoniae of 2 mg/ml and 2.5 mg/ml of seed extract respectively with compare to standard antibiotic while other extracts did not show any antibacterial activity against all tested bacterial species. Key words: Kalijiri, Antimicrobial Activity, Agar well diffusion method.
