Phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity of alkaloids and flavonoids of different parts of aegle marmelos linn. Against pathogenic bacteria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: Present study aims to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of flavonoids and alkaloids from different parts of Aegle marmelos Linn. against selected pathogens. Method: Different parts (Leaf, Stem and Fruit) of Aegle marmelos were collected and air dried and soxhlet extracted by using standard methods for flavonoid and alkaloid extraction. Antibacterial activity of selected extracts was tested by Disc Diffusion Assay and MIC, MBC were calculated by Broth Dilution Assay respectively. Result: MIC and MBC values of the extracts were also in desired range i.e. from 1.25mg/ml to 0.0195mg/ml which ensure their use as an alternative to existing antibiotics against selected pathogens Conclusion: the study reveals that flavonoids and alkaloids of different parts (leaf, stem and fruit) of Aegle marmelos has considerable antibacterial activity.
