Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Santalum album Linn is one of the important medicinal plants belonging to the family Santalaceae. Ayurveda and Unani medicinal systems use it for the treatment of several ailments. Santalum album Linn has Anti pyretic, Anti helmintic, Anti-microbial, Hepato protective and Anti-cancer activities. As per World Health Organization many people are suffering from microbial infections. The present study was designed to evaluate the anti-microbial activity of Santalum album Linn. The preliminary phytochemical studies determine the various secondary metabolites like Carbohydrates, Glycosides, Alkaloids, Phenols and Tannins are present. These aqueous extract was screened for their antimicrobial activity against B.Subtilis pathogen bacteria by agar cup-plate method. These aqueous extract shows significant activity against at 10, 20 and 40µgm/ml. The Activity Index is 0.21, 0.45, 0.86 (B. subtilus) and compared with a standard drug Ofloxacin. This study gives the way for further studies to elucidate the other properties of Santalum album. Keywords:Santalum album, Anti-microbial activity, Ofloxacin, phytochemical screening.
