Abstract
PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON BIOACTIVE CONSTITUENT OF MIMOSA LEAVES FOR URINARY INFECTIONS AND HEMORRHOIDS
Sanjeev Kumar* and Somendra Kumar
ABSTRACT
In last few years, antibiotics resistance against bacteria causing UTIs and hemorrhoids has increased which become a major health issue to mankind and affecting millions of people every year. At this context, this study was aim to identify the phytochemical constituents of Mimosa Pudica Leaves and their antibacterial activity against pathogens causing UTIs and hemorrhoids. Leaves extract was prepared with the solvent ethanol and methanol and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus by agar well diffusion method. Qualitative phytochemical screening of leaves extract was also done by FTIR. The result of the antibacterial activity of Mimosa Pudica leaf extract show that leaves of this plant exert remarkable antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus. The phytochemical analysis indicate the presence of secondary metabolite like tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, Phenolic compound and alkaloids. This study indicate that M. Pudica can be used as an potential agent of antibacterial properties that can be used to formulate novel drugs against bacteria that cause UTIs and hemorrhoids.
