ANTI BACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CLERODENDRUM INEREME

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to investigate the antimicrobial activity, anticancer and phytochemical analysis of different extracts in Clerodendrum inereme. The solvents chloroform and hexane were used to extract the bioactive compounds from the leaves for their antimicrobial activity against different strains of bacteria by disc diffusion method. The maximum antibacterial activity was observed in crude choloroform extract of Clerodendrum inereme and analysis of phytochemical screening reveals the presence of Alkaloids, Sapopnins, Tannins, Steroids, Glycosides and Flavanoids.
