ABSTRACT

The present study was aimed at detecting the phytochemicals and evaluating antimicrobial activities of Holoptelea integrifolia known for their medicinal properties in folk medicine. Phytochemical screening was carried out on the leaves of Holoptelea integrifolia.. Phytochemical studies reveal that methanol extract was the richest extract for phytoconstituents, except flavonoids. The chloroform extract contains fats and fixed oil.while Petroleum ether extract contains protein and amino acids,fat ,fixed oils.next is water extract that contain glycosides, tannins, phenolic compound, flavonoids,titerpenoids and sterols, carbohydrate, fats and saponins.again acetone extract contain glycosides, protein and amino acids and carbohydrate. among all the extract methanol extract showed the highest activity against all microorganism except B.cereus.in case of B.cereus benzene extract showed higher activity than methanol and against M.luteus also benzene extract showed the similar activity as methanol.Anti bacterial activity of benzene and methanol extract against B.cereus was higher than the standard drugs.in case of antifungal activity benzene extract showed highest antifungal activity against P.chrysogenum and R.arrhijus.
