Abstract
Papaya is simply known as Pawpaw, belonging to the family of Caricaceae. Carica papaya leaves exclude a number of essential medicinal compounds. The aim of the study was to investigate the phytochemicals, HPTLC finger printing and antimicrobial activity of chemical compounds of Carica papaya. Antimicrobial activity of Carica papaya leaf extract against yeast, TBC, E. coli, Pseudomonas and Salmonella were examined. Aqueous leaf extract showed more inhibitory actions in vitro. HPTLC profiling of the chemical compounds indicated the presence of papain and chymopapain.
