PHARMACOLOGICAL CONSTITUENTS OF BUTEA MONOSPERMA CRUDE LEAVES EXTRACTS AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AGAINST CLINICAL ISOLATESRajendrabhai Daulatbhai VasaitAbstract Nature is full with resources for medical plants and medicinal based on herbs, but some of these sources are still hidden because of a scarcity of knowledge and awareness about their therapeutic capabilities. For the treatment and prevention of numerous infections and disorders, herbal medicines have the potential to be a source of therapeutic treatment. Butea monosperma, a naturally occurring tree from the tribal area of the Baglan Region of India, has been referred as the Palas (Palash). Butea monosperma was assessed for pharmacological constituents and evaluated antibacterial activity against clinical isolates. Ethanolic and acetone leaves extract of Butea monosperma detected with phytoconstituents such as amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, and saponins. Both extracts i.e., ethanol and acetone exhibited the higher diameter of the inhibition zone, i.e., 16 and 17 mm against Salmonella paratyphi B, followed by an ethanol extract with16 mm against Streptococcus pyogenes. Both ethanol and acetone extractpotentially exerted antimicrobial activity against clinical isolates. |
