IDENTIFICATION AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SAPONIN FRACTION FROM THE LEAVES OF BARLERIA CRISTATA L.
AbstractA simple HPTLC method was used to determine the saponin profile of Barleria cristata L. crude leaf extract. The antimicrobial activity of saponin fraction from the leaves of Barleria cristata L. was studied in-vitro against four bacterial species and four fungal species by agar disc diffusion method. Klebsiella Pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Aspergillus parasites were the most inhibited microorganism. The present study suggests that the saponin fraction possess significant antimicrobial activity and can be used to develop a potential antimicrobial agent.
