INVESTIGATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS AGAINST ISOLATED WOUND PATHOGENS

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of the present study is to investigate the antimicrobial activity and phytochemical analysis of different extracts of Catharanthus roseus leaves against the wound isolates. Two different solvents such as ethanol and methanol were used to extract the bioactive compounds from the leaves of Catharanthus roseus and screened for their antimicrobial activity against the isolated wound pathogens under well diffusion method. The maximum antibacterial activity was observed in crude Ethanolic extract of Catharanthus roseus against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (29mm). Qualitative analysis of phytochemical screening reveals the presence of Tannin, Flavonoids, alkaloids and Terpenoids.
