Abstract

Solvent leaf extracts of Blepharis maderaspatensis and Maesa indica were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GCMS) and their antimicrobial potential evaluated. Ethyl acetate extract of B. maderaspatensis showed highest activity against Escherichia coli (20 mm) in well method, while its acetone extract showed high antibacterial potential against E. faecalis (18 mm) by the disc diffusion method. The GCMS profile of B. maderaspatensis (ethyl acetate extract) and M. indica (acetone extract) tested positive for the presence of bioactive constituents that revealed the presence of saponin, phenols, tannin, glycoside, flavonoid, steroid, alkaloid, and oils when analyzed.
