Ethnomedicinal and antimicrobial potential of Tylophora asthamatica Wight & Arn. with special reference to respiratory disorders
Keywords:
Antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, Tylophora asthamatica, zone of inhibition, PhytochemicalsAbstract
The present study attempt to evaluate the antifungal, antibacterial activity and also to screen phytochemicals present in the Tylophora asthamatica. Disk diffusion method was used to study the antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pharyngitis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bordetella pertussis antifungal activity against Candida albicans, and Aspergillus niger. In this study, we observed that the samples in different solvent extract had antibacterial and antifungal activities by formation of inhibitory zone. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of samples in different solvent extract confirms the presence of various phytochemicals like Carbohydrates, Saponins, Tannins, Flavonoid, Alkaloids, Glycosides, Phytosterol & Steroids, Phenols, and Terpenoids. The solvent Petroleum ether, Chloroform and Ethyl acetate extract gave good results. In this study we concluded that different solvent extract of Tylophora asthamatica leaves showed good antibacterial activity and it may be attributed due to the presence of phytochemicals and may be used as antimicrobial agents.
