R. Muthuselvi*, D. Ashok Kumar, P. Senniappan, R. Vijaya Bharathi and
ABSTRACT
Cassia marginata (Caesalpiniaceae) is found in most parts of central and southern India often planted for ornamental purposes and along the roads for shade. It is a small or medium sized, tomentose, deciduous tree, 7.5 to 10.5 m in height. It is commonly called as Red cassia. The bark is deeply cracked, light brown and fibrous. Modern research carried out on the Caesalpiniaceae plants reveals that most of the plants belonging to this family are medicinally important as they contain biologically active compounds. The family has been reported to contain Steroids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids, Alkaloids, Phenol, Saponins, Glycosides and Tannins. Its leaves, seeds, bark and flowers are the medicinally useful parts. The present study was carried out to find out the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the bark extract of Keywords: Cassia marginata, Ethyl acetate extract, Anti-tubercular Activity, Luciferase Reporter Phage (LRP).
