Abstract
Clerodendrum chinense a plant native to south Asia is a perennial shrub with triangular ovate shaped leaves. Present study involves the study of secondary metabolites and antibacterial activity of Clerodendrum chinense. Phytochemical analysis of plant extract shows the presence of active phyto-constituents like protein, carbohydrate, sterols, alkaloids, tannins, saponins. TLC analysis revealed the presence of β-sitosterol in the extract, which is an important phytosterol. Antibacterial activity shows characteristic inhibition against two different strain i.e. E. coli and Pseudomonas, which suggests the plant might show promising results in the field of antibiotics.
