Phytociiemical Screening And Antimicrobial Activities Of Carica Papaya L., Citrus Sinensis L., Citrus Paradisil. And Vernonia Amygdalina Del. Cent:- Onyebinime, Adaeze A.
ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial activity and
phytochemical analysis on the leaves of Caricapapaya, Citrus sinensis. Citrus
paradisi and Vernonia atnygdalina was carried out. The four plant species were
found to contain alkaloid, saponin, tannins, flavonoid and phenols in varying
proportions. The concentration of the phytochemicals are as follows: alkaloid
of paw-paw (1.11 ± 0.02%), saponins (0.53 ± 0.04%) tannin (0.43 ± 0.4%),
flavonoid (0.67 ± 0.01%) and phenols (0.91 ± 0.03%), for grape alkaloid content
was (0.31 ± 0.05%), saponins (0.19 ± 0.01%). tannins (0.25 ± 0.01%), flavonoid
(0.36 ± 0.02%), phenol (0.52 ± 0.04%) In orange, alkaloid was (0.23 ± 0.01%),
saponin (0.23 ± 0.01%), tannin (0.15 ± 0.01%), flavonoid (0.33 ± 0.01), phenol
(0.59 ± 0.07%) For bitter leaf, alkaloid (1.31 ± 0.03%), saponin (1.15 ±
0.01%). flavonoid (0.71 ± 0.02%), tannin (0.43 ± 0.01%), phenol (1.15 ± 0.01%).
The plant contain more alkaloid than other phytochemical. The anti-microbial
activity of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaves of the plants were
tested against four microorganism. Klebsiella pneumonia. Salmonella pullorum,
Enterobacter aerogenes and Proteus vulgaris. The susceptibility of the
microorganisms was determined using the disk diffusion method. The leaf extract
of these plants inhibited the growth of these pathogens. The minimum inhibitory
concentration was analyzed using agar well diffusion method with values ranging
between 50 mg/ml and 200 mg/ml against all the clinical isolates. There were
variations in the lowest concentrations of the different plant extracts that
caused inhibitions against the various microorganisms.
