The findings revealed that better activity was noticed in C.serratum at 50 1.,ig concentration. More phytochemical compounds were also detected in Cserratum Even though microgram of the plant extract was used in the present study; further isolation, purification and characterisation of the drug using chromatographic techniques may help us to formulate nanograms of bioactive principle for prophylaxis.
