Phytochemical and antibacterial screening of leaves and latex of Calotropis procera: A comparison

View through CrossRef
The objective is to compare and investigate the antibacterial and phytochemical screening of leaves and latex extract of Calotropis procera. Extract of petroleum ether, ethanol, chloroform and water was made and all the mentioned extract were then evaluated for the phytochemical and the antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of leaf and latex extract has been reported with three bacteria namely Escheria coli, S. aureus, B. cereus. The results revealed that the best extraction solvent for antibacterial activity of leaf and latex extract is of alcohol followed by chloroform and water. The results revealed that the latex extract of Calotropis procera has better antibacterial effect as compare to the leaf extract of Calotropis procera.
