Phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and antibacterial efficacy of methanol and hexane extract of Centella asiatica

Centella asiatica is well known for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, analgesic, diuretic properties. Its hexane and methanol extracts were screened the presence of phytoconstituents as their antibacterial antioxidant activity. The phytochemical screening showed carbohydrate, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic compound, alkaloids, saponin. extract more effective activity against salmonella typhi. Antioxidant was evaluated by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging potent activities with IC50 value 3.74 μg/mL slightly higher than standard ascorbic acid (IC50 = 2.576 μg/mL). present study indicates that tested plant can be an important source agents recommends active isolated, identified, individually also subjected further in vivo toxicological studies.
