Phytochemicals And Antimicrobial Activity Of Phyllanthus Amarus (Schum)
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to
investigate the phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of phyllanthus amarus
(schum). The composition of the phytochemicals in terms of their quantity are
alkaloid 0.57 ±0.06, flavonoids 0.45± 0.02, saponin 0.99±0.03, phenol 0.38 ±
0.002, HCN3.64 ± 0.03, phytate 2.25 ±0.56. similarly the antimicrobial activity
of the water and ethanolic extract of phyllanthus amarus (schum) are
respectively as E.coii 12.50± 0.50, S.aureus 9.67± 0.58, Pseudomonas 8.50± 0.50
and E.coil 16.33 ± 2.25 S. aureus 17.50± 2.18, Pseudomonas 15.83±0.76. The
minimum inhibitory concentration of the water and ethanol extract of P. amarus
are E.coil 100mg/ml, siella 50mg.ml, Pseudomonas 50mg/ml, S.aureus 20mg/ml.
these values indicates the diameter where ethanol extract is more effective
than that of water, p. amarus is a potent inhibitor of antibacterial activity
at very minimum concentrations.
