PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS, ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF PHYLLANTUS LAWII

The phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity were evaluated by methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether and
water extract of phyllantus lawii leaves and fruit. The antimicrobial activity was carried out by Minimum inhibitory concentration
method(MIC) of methanol extract of phyllantus lawii were found to have potent antimicrobial activity against bacillus subtilis and
moderate activity against K.neumonia and candida albican . In case of MIC methanol extract of phyllantus lawii exhibited MIC value
at 5mg/ml and antioxidant activity carried out by Reducing power method, Ferric thiocynate method (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid
method (TBAR). The methanol extract of phyllantus lawii shown more reducing power compare to chloroform and water extract. The
percentage of inhibition of lipid peroxidation in linolenic acid in the test of methanol, chloroform and water extract shown
72.1,41.37and 39.5 respectively compare to with standard antioxidants like Tochoferol (vitamin E) and Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
with the percentage of inhibition were 75.52 and 54.46. by TBAR method
