ABSTRACT

The Phyto nutrients present in the leaves of Solanum muricatum herb was extracted using hydro alcohol as a solvent. Preliminary phytochemical analysis was carried out for extracts and leaf extracts reveal the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponin, phenols, terepnoids, tannins, carbohydrates. The susceptibilities of these test bacteria on the extracts was determined using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Zone of Inhibition Test (ZIT) methods. These antioxidant properties was usefully exploited for medicinal purposes.
