Abstract

The crude extract of indigenous herbal Potentilla reptans L. habitat wild belonging to Rosaceae family, has been explored in search of therapeutic compounds that amalgamate as associative phytochemical and phyto mineral constituents. A number of novel bioactive organic compounds viz. antioxidant (30.8 μg/mL), saponin (30 mg/g), flavonoid (10.39 mg/g), alkaloid (30 mg/g), phenol (4.33 mg/g,) tannin (30.74 mg/g) and minerals like magnesium (4.55 mg/g), iron (1.12 mg/g), sulfur (1.85 mg/g), potassium (1.26 mg/g), manganese (0.10 mg/g), calcium (5.16 mg/g), phosphorous (0.14 mg/g), zinc (0.12 mg/g) and copper (0.06 mg/g), an indispensable sources of precious chemo-diversity, the only means for survivability of species forever on earth have depicted. In an antimicrobial test with crude extracts, a strong positive effect against Staphylococcus aureus in bacteria and Candida albicans, Microsporum gypseum in fungi by all extracts of MeOH, EtOAc and CHCl3 was authenticated to the aged old traditional health care system of herbals and novel to unique in home remedy prescriptions.
