Phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial, antioxidant and urease inhibitory potential of <i>Cyphostemma digitatum</i> Lam.

Abstract

<div><p>In this paper we report the antimicrobial, antiradical and urease inhibitory potential along with photochemical investigation of the crude extracts of <i>Cyphostemma digitatum</i> Lam. Phytochemical screening of both the crude (hot/cold) alcoholic and aqueous extracts of <i>C. digitatum</i> showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, coumarins, steroids, terpenoids and tannins. The crude methanolic extract (hot/cold) exhibited good antioxidant activity, while the aqueous extract was a weak antioxidant. The crude methanolic extract was found to be more active against <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>, while both the extracts showed moderate antifungal potential, the methanolic crude extract showed good urease inhibitory activity compared with the aqueous crude extract.</p></div
