Comparative Analysis of Natural Bioactive Metabolites of the Indigenous Host Plants of Muga Silkworm for Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties against Swine Diseases

The present study explores the natural bioactive metabolites, antioxidant and antibacterial activities in host plants of Antheraea assamensis (muga silkworm) viz. Machilus bombycina (som), Litsea polyantha (sualu), salicifolia (dighloti) citrata (mejankari). methanolic extracts leaves these were screened for their phytochemical analysis free radical scavenging activity using 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl as radical. Phytochemical revealed presence flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, saponins, coumarins, terpenoids, tanins, cardiac glucosides xanthoproteins said plants. results 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl to exhibit stronger efficiency compared rest. Besides these, plant investigated assessment against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus suis Gram-negative Pasteurella multocida Escherichia coli bacteria found pig. All validated possess with variable potency. was most effective extract retarding microbial growth both bacteria, followed by salicifolia, bombycina. findings underscore fact that indigenous food muga silkworm are fortified efficiency, which might pave development novel herbal pharmacological compounds medication pig diseases.
