Isolation and Identification of therapeutic compounds from Moringa oleifera and its antimicrobial activity
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
Moringa oleifera, is commonly known as ‘drumstick tree’ or ‘horseradish tree’. Every part of the plant has high nutritive value. In this study the leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera was prepared using 7 different solvents and phytochemically analysed in which methanol leaf extract showed presence of many compounds. Quantification of leaf extract showed presence of high amount tannins. Palmitic acid was isolated from the extract and antimicrobial activity of palmitic acid was studied at different concentration for both bacteria and fungi. The results revealed that though both Gram negative and positive bacterial species were inhibited the gram negative were resistant particularly P. aeruginosa and high zone of inhibition was observed with K. pneumonia. The plant has many pharmacological properties and need the scientific values from the researcher for commercialization
