J K. Alphonsa Juliet Helina*, G. Dayana Jeya Leela, V. AlexRamani, T. Francis Xavier and A. Auxilia
ABSTRACT The Flueggea leucopyrus is a species of Euphorbiaceae family. It is understood from the literature that less work has been done on this plant. This fact prompted us to undertake a study on this much less explored plant. The present work is based on phytochemical screening and antimicrobial studies of the hydro-alcoholic leaf extract of Flueggea leucopyrus. And thus the medicinal plant is found to possess significant phyto-constituents. The presence of such a variety of phytochemicals may be attributed to the medicinal characteristics of this plant Flueggea leucopyrus. It is a disinfectant and it is useful in vitiated conditions of burning sensations, seminal weakness and general debility. Keywords: Flueggea leucopyrus, phyto-chemical screening, antibacterial, antifungal. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
