Abstract
Medicinal plants have been used for centuries as remedies for human diseases because they contain components of therapeutic value. Herbs are now very popular in developing countries on account of improved knowledge about the safety, efficacy and quality assurance of ethno medicine. In recent years, secondary plant metabolites (phytochemicals) have been extensively investigated as a source of medicinal agents. In the present investigation preliminary phytochemical and antimicrobial investigation of Elytraria acaulis was carried out. The plant material was powdered and successively extracted with different solvents based on their polarity. The methanolic extracts of the plant shows the presence of many secondary metabolites compared to other solvents. The different parts of the plant extracts showed broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against some human pathogens.
