Studies on Antimicrobial Activity and Phytochemical Profile of Mangifera Indica Leaf Extract

Abstract

The present study deals with Studies on antimicrobial activity and photochemical profiles of Mangifera Indica (kottukonamvarika) leaf extract. The leaf of mangifera indica; studies with the aim of determined the following photochemical parameters for these species microscopial characters. Leaf contents, photochemical content, about 6 extract (methanol, acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate, hexane-ethyl acetate, aqueous extraction) from the leaves of Mangifera indica was extracted. Hexane-ethyl acetate was characterized by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of different extract was tested against human and plant pathogenic bacteria. Hexane-ethyl acetate extract showed significant role on inhibiting almost all tested pathogenic organisms. I. Introduction: The plant materials were collected from the village dihiya (District Rewa m.p.). In the month of January 2013. The plant was identified by local people of that village; A herbarium specimen of the plant was preserved in the Department of Environmental biology in Biotechnology Lab from APS University Rewa m.p. of our Institute for reference. The leaves use of medicinal plants as herbal remedies to prevent and cure several ailments differs from community to community Traditionally used medicinal plants have recently attracted the attention of the biological scientific communities. This has involved the isolation and identification of secondary metabolites produced by plants and their use as active principles in medicinal preparations plants have limitless ability to synthesize aromatic secondary metabolites, most of which are phenols or their oxygen-substituted derivatives. Extraction methods involve separation of medicinally active fractions of plant tissue from inactive/inert components by using selective solvents and extraction technology. Solvents diffuse into the solid plant tissues and solubilize compounds of similar polarity. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important tropical plants in the world. It grows in the tropical and subtropical regions and its parts are commonly used in folk medicine for a wide variety of remedies. Many phenolic compounds have been detected in mango peels mango bark 8, mango puree concentrate mango pulps and seed kernels. Several pharmacological activities of mango extracts have been reported including anti-inflammatory 6, antioxidant antiallergic and antihelmintic and antiamoebic. In the present study, certain works such as phyto-chemical characterization, antimicrobial activity of extract, histochemical studies, and cytotoxic effects of hexane-ethyl acetate extract against cell lines.
