ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were to determine antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of methanolic leaves extracts of Andrographis echioides (L.) Nees. Antimicrobial activity was examined against four gram positive, four gram negative bacterial and two fungal strains. The methanolic leaves extracts was subjected to assess their antioxidant potential using various in vitro methods such as DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and reducing power assay. The methanolic leaves extract of Andrographis echioides (L.) Nees was more effective antioxidant activity compared to standard. Methanolic leaves extracts of Andrographis echioides (L.) Nees found to be potentially effective against Gram positive (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus) gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonia) bacteria and fungi (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans). The present study concludes the medicinal significance of Andrographis echioides (L.) Nees extracts having potential antimicrobial and antioxidant properties which leads to pharmaceutical applications. Keywords: Andrographis echioides (L.) Nees, antimicrobial, antioxidant, methanolic, leaves extracts
