Abstract

In present study, we examined the presence of phytochemical constituents in the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of 6 medicinal plants of north east India. The methanol extracts of all the 6 plants were further analyzed for antibacterial activity by following standard agar well method against four bacterial strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis as Gram-positive bacteria and bacterial strains of Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris as Gram-negative bacteria and were assessed by the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values. The results revealed the presence of alkaloid, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids and carbohydrates in all the 6 plant species.
