PHARMACOGNOSTIC PHYTO-CHEMICAL AND EVALUATION OF ANTI-MICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SOME SELECTED INDIGENOUS MEDICINAL PLANTS Authors: K.Sudheer Kumar , MAYA SHARMA, N. RAVINDRA AND JAYESH DWIVEDI
ABSTRACT
Plants contain a diverse group of highly valuable and readily available resource of bioactive
metabolites viz. Alkaloids, tannins, essential oils and flavonoids. According to World Health
Organization has estimated that about 80% of the population in developing countries are
unable to afford drugs and rely on traditional medicines especially those that are plan based
such as India, Srilanka, Bangladesh, China and Japan. Exploration of the chemical
constituents of the plants and pharmacological screening may provide us the basis for
developing the lead for development of novel agents. Herbs have provided us some of the
very important life savings drugs used in armamentarium of modern medicine, present study
helps to know that poly herbal formulations are safe and effective and show synergetic
actions. There is a much research is in need for future prospects in drug development and
dosage design from natural sources having Antimicrobial activity.
