ABSTRACT

Plants contain a variety of bioactive chemicals with tremendous uses in the pharma industry. Methanolic leaves extracts of A. malabarica (L.) R. Br was analyzed in order to find a new source of antimicrobial and antioxidant constituents. Four gram positive, four gram negative bacteria and two fungal strains were tested for antimicrobial activity. The antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts was evaluated using the DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and reducing power assays. The antioxidant activities of the leaves extract showed that significantly inhibited all radicals. When compared to the standard, the methanolic leaves extracts of A. malabarica (L.) R. Br showed higher antioxidant activity. This research has found that A. malabarica (L.) R. Br extracts have higher antibacterial activity, which could be beneficial to nutritive and medicinal purposes. Keywords: A. malabarica (L.) R. Br, antimicrobial, antioxidant, methanolic, leaves extracts
