Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Many number of the plant species including Cocculus hirsutus L. is being used as the sources of herbal medicine. Present work was mainly focused with the identification of the therapeutic properties of Cocculus hirsutus L. leaf extracts. The leaf extracts of methanol, aqueous, chloroform and benzene showed solvent dependent phytochemical present and anti-microbial activity. Whereas the leaf extracts of methanol and chloroform showed significant antimicrobial activity than water and benzene extracts. These extracts were further studied and analyzed for different phytochemical compounds. Leaf extracts possesses more flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides and lignins in methanol, chloroform, benzene extracts than water extracts. The antimicrobial activity of different extracts of Cocculus hirsutus were analyzed and discussed.
