PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL OF BOERHAVIA ERECTA: A PROMISING SOURCE FOR HERBAL DRUG DEVELOPMENT
*Komal G. Kanade, Dr. Vishal C. Kedari
ABSTRACT This study explores the phytochemical composition and antimicrobial efficacy of aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts of Boerhavia erecta. Preliminary screening revealed the presence of key primary and secondary metabolites, including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolics compounds, and saponins. Both extracts exhibited notable antimicrobial activity, with significant minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against common bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The findings highlight the therapeutic potential of Boerhavia erecta as a valuable source for the development of novel herbal formulations in the field of natural medicine. Keywords: Boerhavia erecta, Phytochemicals, Antimicrobial activity, Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
