Phytochemical and Preliminary Antimicrobial Activity of Cyperus Rotundus linn. Extract Against Micrococcus Luteus
View through CrossRef
The plant kingdom is recognized as
the most valued source of medicine for humanity as
herbal/ethno-medicines has fewer side effects as
compared to allopathic medicine due to its complex
nature of bioactive compounds present in the plant. In nature, one of the most tenacious, colony
forming weed having widespread geographical
distribution and being native to Indian subcontinent, the Cyperus rotundus (Linn.) has been
widely used in several pharmacological fields
including antibacterial infections. In the current
study C. rotundus (Linn.), the leaves extract was
qualitatively accessed for its phytochemical
content. Different solvent used to prepare leaves
extract was evaluated against Micrococcus luteus
for its antimicrobial activities using disc diffusion
method. Our result indicated the presence of
phytochemical such as flavonoids, terpenoids etc.
Crude leaf extracts prepared in acetone. methanol
and ethanol exhibited antimicrobial activity.
Interestingly, ratio of acetone and ethanol solvent
exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity against
the tested microorganisms.
