چکیده
The phytochemical, antimicrobial activity against gram negative and positive bacteria and fungi, DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assay antioxidant activities of aqueous and organic crude extracts of Millingtonia hortensis, Andrographis paniculata, Aegle marmelos, Coccinia grandis, Tinospora cordifolia, Achyranthus aspera was studied invitro. The phytochemical screening of crude plant extracts revealed the presence of bioactive compounds such as phenols, flavanoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides, phytosterols and proteins. All the extracts exhibited antibacterial and antioxidant activities and the activities varied from solvent to solvent. The results showed that methanlolic extracts exhibited significant antimicrobial and antioxidant activities when compared to other organic solvent and aqueous extracts. Further, the crude methanolic extract of Millingtonia hortensis exhibited significant activities when compared to the crude methanolic extracts of other plants.

متن کاملPhytochemical Analysis and Anti-microbial Activity of Some Important Medicinal Plants from North-west Iran
Due to the increase of microbial resistance to antibiotics and the occurrence of side effects, use of medicinal plants with anti-microbial properties seems to be rational. Hence, in this study, some plants of the Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, and Cucurbitaceae families were evaluated for antimicrobial effects. The aerial parts of the plants were extracted by different solvents using a Sox...
