Abstract

Hydroalcoholic extract of Thunbergia fragrans was investigated for phytochemical as well as Anti-microbial screening. Phytochemical evaluation of the plant extract revealed the presence of Flavonoids, Phenols, Tannins, and other constituents. The extract was prepared by maceration technique, the solvent was used in ratio of 70:30 [ethanol: water]. The obtained hydro alcoholic extract was tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. Whereas the extract showed no significant antimicrobial effects even though Thunbergia Fragrans is believed to be used to treat open wounds in Indian siddha medicine, further studies are required to find out the full potential of the plant.
