Abstract
The plant Apamarg (Achyranthes aspera L.) was tested for antibacterial (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), antifungal (Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum) activities. For extraction, methanol extract was chosen. The DPPH Radical Scavenging activity was used to test the antioxidant action. The current study reveals a link between indigenous Achyranthes aspera L. treatment and in vitro antibacterial and antifungal responses. Ascorbic acid had the lowest DPPH scavenging activity than methanolic extracts of Achyranthes aspera L., which exhibited antioxidant activity. The effects of DPPH radical scavenging are dose-dependent. The stems and roots of Achyranthes aspera L. are high in antioxidants that could be utilized as a natural supplier of antioxidants and antimicrobial components.
