| dc.description.abstract | Objective: In currenl era, herbal products are measured to be the symbols of safety in comparison to the synthetic products that are regarded to be hazardous to human life and environment. Although herbs had been priced for their therapeutic importance, their phytochemical and pharmacological activities are conducted on different parts. With this, an attempt has been made to investigate the antimicrobial activity and phytochemical analysis of Terminalia bellerico fruits. Methods: The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using agar well diffusion method against the bacterial [Escherichia culi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Shigella flexneri, and Salmonella typhi) and fungal (Aspergillus niger, Mucor species. Aspergillus fumigatus, Rhizopus species and Aspergillus flavus] isolates using aqueous, petroleum ether and chloi oform extracts of Terminalia beUerica fruits. Phytochemical and FT-IR analysis was earned. ResulLs: It was observed that aqueous extract exhibited significant activity against the tested bacterial and fungal isolates, compared with chloroform and petroleum ether extract respectively. Phytochemical analysis of Terminalia bellenca extracts showed the presence of secondary metabolites like phenolics, alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins. The FT-lR analysis has revealed the presence of phenols, alcohol, amines and carboxylic acid as functional groups in Terminalia bellerica. Conclusion; From this study, it can be concluded that Terminalia bellerica reveal antimicrobial activity against various human pathogenic bacteria. | en_US |
