Abstract
The bio-active compound plumbagin is isolated from Chitraka, Plumbago zeylanica Linn. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities of Plumbagin were studied by using the Disc-Assay Method against a series of pathogenic micro-organisms which are
responsible for severe neasopharyngeal, respiratory, cardio-vascular,
dermal, neuromuscular, gastro-intestinal and genito-urinary
tract infections. Plumbagin shows broad spectral antimicrobial activity
against selected pathogenic micro-organisms in vitro and
in vivo.
