Elemental analysis, phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activities of aqueous and ethanolic leaf extract of Pilostigma reticulatum (dc) Hochst were studied using paper disc diffusion method against Streptococcus pyogen, Escherichia coli and Salmonella thvpi. Elemental analysis of the plant sample revealed the presence of Ca (1.51 ± 0.01μg/g), Mg (0.43 ± 0.02μg/g). P (0.29 ± 0.01 μg/g), Mn (3.01 ± 0.01 μg/g), Fe (1.04 ± 0.01 μg/g), Zn (1.05 ± 0.02  and Cu was below detectable limit(BDL).The results of the antimicrobial studies indicated that the extracts inhibited the growth of one or more tested pathogens.The ethanolic extract showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. Phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, carbohydrates and terpenes. Anthraquinone and saponin were not present. Inhibition zone by the extract ranges from 4.0mm to 30mm.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranges from 8.0 x102 µg/ml to 1x104 µg/ml. Pilostigma reticulatum leaf may be able to produce antimicrobial agents in drug delivery.

In the current study, phytochemical characterization and antibacterial activi-ty of Eclipta alba (L.) L. leaf extract against some dental micro flora have been investigated. Plant species was collected from Chittorgarh district Mewar region of Rajasthan. Dried leaves were subjected to methanol extrac-tion. Phytochemical investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive components in the methanol extract of E. alba leaves using standard methods. All concentrations of the extract exhibited considerable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus. During the study 100 mg/ml extract showed maximum zone of inhibition 13 mm against E. coli, 12 mm against P. aeruginosa and 14 mm zone of inhibition against B. subtilis, 12 mm zone of inhibition against M. luteus.

Otitis externa in dogs and cats is always caused by a combination of yeasts and bacteria, among which the most important are Malassezia pachydermatis, Staphylococcus intermedius and Pseudomonas species. These organisms often develop resistance to classical antimicrobial agents. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activities of an ethyl acetate leaf extract of Harungana madagascariensis against the organisms cited, to carry out the phytochemical investigation of this extract and to determine its bioactive chemical class using dilution techniques, the bioautography method and the standard phytochemical method described by Harborne (1973). Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of saponins, tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids and anthracenic derivatives. The bioassay showed that the antimicrobial properties may be attributed to astilbin, a flavanone derivative identified on the basis of its spectroscopic data. The results suggest that the extract could be used in an antimicrobial preparation effective against the whole range of organisms incriminated in otitis externa in dogs and cats, with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 250 μg/ml.

Coleus forskohlii L. plant Extract is derived from roots and leaves from Coleus forskohlii. Coleus is used in India and China folk medicines and is a traditional digestive remedy. Currently this plants levees and roots are extensively cultivated is Southern and western India. Forskohlii helps to lower blood pressure, dilates the blood vessels. Traditionally claimed to be constructive in the cure of cutaneous affections such as scabies, guinea worm, eczema and herpetic diseases. Conversely, there are no customary scientific reports for its antipsoriatic activity. Hence, the plant Coleus forskohlii has been chosen to establish scientific data for its traditional claim as anti-cancer. In the present study a chemical test performed against the, all the phytochemical constituents for their preliminary screening of each solvent extract of leaf like water, methanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and acetone. From the phytochemical investigation of the leaf extracts; the result is revealed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, triterpenoids, and lipids in all the solvent extracts. But phenols are more retain in methanolic leaf extract remain all the phytochemical constituents

<p>The leaf extract of <em>Berberis orthobotrys </em>Bien. ex Aitch.<em> </em>(B.o.)<em> </em>afforded three compounds viz., β-sitosterol (<strong>1</strong>), sesamin (<strong>2</strong>) and 10-eicosanol (<strong>3</strong>) which were identified by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, GC-MS, IR and comparison of their spectral data with the published data. To the best of our knowledge these three compounds are reported here for the first time to be isolated from <em>Berberis orthobotrys </em>Bien. ex Aitch.<em> </em>(B.o.). Moreover the root extract exhibited good antilieshmanial activity and root and fruit extracts demonstrated minor antifungal activity against <em>Fusarium solani</em>.</p>
