Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
To know the in vitro antibacterial activities of benzene, chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts of the leaves of Albizzia lebbek(L) Benth. (Shirish), Family: Mimosaceae, present study was conducted. All the extracts were used at 3mg/ml and 6mg/ml concentrations. Against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, antibacterial activities of the different extracts were studied. Considering the overall antibacterial activity pattern, it can be mentioned that both the chloroform and ethanol extracts possessed antibacterial activities against all the strains used. Out of these two extracts, chloroform extract was more potent than the ethanol extract as far as their antibacterial activities were concerned. The extracts, which displayed antibacterial activity, produced such activity in a dose dependent manner. For the study Tetracycline (25µg/ml) was used as positive control, while DMSO was the negative control.
