Phytochemical and Antimicrobial activity of various root extracts of Coleus forskohlii Medicinal plant
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The Phytochemical and antimicrobial activities were studied using ethanol, methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, hexane, hot water, and acetone extracts of Coleus forskohlii, Lamiaceae. Root extracts of Coleus forskohlii were evaluated by agar well diffusion method against six bacterial species and five fungal species. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of the root extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, proteins, amino acids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and terpenoids in the different root extracts was established. The ethanol extract was more effective against Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas acetone extract was more effective against Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The different extracts were also found to be effective against the test fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Cryptococcus neoformans. The results of the present study suggest that Coleus forskohlii roots can be used in treating diseases caused by the tested organisms.
