Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Solanum xanthocarpum is a well-known medicinal herb in Asia, belongs to family Solanaceae. The Solanum Xanthocarpum is reported to have good medicinal values in traditional system of medicines. This present study deals with phytochemical investigations of different parts viz., leaf, stem, root, fruit and flowers of Solanum xanthocarpum, which were collected from three different agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh, India. Qualitative phytochemical test indicated that plant contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids and saponins as well as reducing sugars. Antifungal activity of methanol extract of different parts plant of Solanum xnathocarpum were assayed against Aspergillus niger. Screening for Anti-fungal activity is carried out by Agar diffusion method. However, the agar diffusion method can be used for determination of MIC values. Inhibition zones into MIC values were found in 20µg, 60 µg and 90 µg of FT1, ST2 and FL2 respectively. Thus Solanum xanthocarpum could be considered as a potential source of natural antifungal possesses good economic as well as medicinal importance.
