Evaluation of Antimicrobial, Antifungal, and Cytotoxic Properties of Abroma augusta Linn (original) (raw)

2017, Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences

Objective: This present study has been undertaken to evaluate the antimicrobial, antifungal and cytotoxic properties of four different fractionates such as petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and dia-ion resin adsorbed fractions of Abroma augusta leaf extract. Methodology: The antimicrobial and antifungal properties have been characterized by disc diffusion method. The cytotoxicity property was determined against brine shrimp nauplii. Results and Conclusion: Among the four fractionates, the dia-ion resin adsorbed fraction showed the highest activity towards the S. aureus, E. coli bacteria and the fungus C. albicans with the zone inhibition of 12∼13 mm which was comparable with that of the standard Kanamycin. The chloroform, petroleum ether, and ethyl acetate fraction was exhibited least activity toward the bacteria and Original Research Article
