Anti-bacterial, Anti-oxidant and other Phytochemical Properties of Datura innoxia leaves

To investigate the phytochemicals present in leaves of Datura innoxia and to assess its antioxidant antibacterial properties different organic solvents, leaf extracts were exposed standardized techniques. Folin–Ciocalteu method Aluminium chloride proved that ethanolic extract has maximum phenolic content (72.35± 0.52 mg GAE/g) flavonoid (29.21± 1.25 EQ/g) respectively. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value 91.398 µg/ml also was as compared methanol, hexane chloroform extracts. Free property observed sequence ethanol>methanol>hexane>chloroform. There a strong correlation between total (DPPH, R2 = 0.41; PPM, 0.25) contents 0.39; R2=0.23). Ethanolic methanolic showed potential against tested pathogenic strains; Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli zone inhibition ranging 16± 0.9 27.5±0.8 mm. This study D. bacterial activities this herb can be assessed therapeutic species.
