Investigation on Phytochemical Constituents and Antimicrobial Activity of Methanolic Extract of Sonneratia apetala Buch-Ham. Areal Parts | Chapter 14 |Technological Innovation in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 3

 The purpose of this work was to investigate the phytochemical contents and antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of Sonneratia apetala arial sections. The phytochemical contents of methanolic extracts of S. apetal included terpenoid, steroid, alkaloid, flavonoid, tannins, saponins, and polysaccharide. The antibacterial properties of plant extracts were evaluated using the well diffusion method. In varied degrees, the extract tested demonstrated antibacterial action against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. These findings suggest that the plant material possesses antibacterial capabilities. The anti-microbial activity of the methanolic extract of S. apetala at 10 mg/ml was shown to be dosage dependent and meaningful when compared to standard anti-microbial agents ciprofloxacin and clotrimazol at 10 g/disc.
