Antifungal and Antibacterial Activities of an Alcoholic Extract of Senna alata Leaves
Methanolic, ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Senna alata
leaves were screened for phytochemicals, antibacterial and antifungal
activities. Out of the three crude extracts, the methanolic extract
showed the highest activity than the ethanolic and petroleum ether
extracts. The unidentified active components purified from preparative
thin layer chromatography exhibited low activities against Mucor,
Rhizopus and Aspergillus niger at 70\u3bcg/ml while higher activity
was exhibited against all the test organisms at 860\u3bcg/ml. @JASE
