Main Article Content
Keywords
piper betle, antibacterial activity, activity indices etc.
Abstract
Plants contain numerous biologically active compounds, many of which have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. Plant-derived medicines have been part of traditional healthcare in most parts of the world for thousands of years and there is increasing interest in plants as sources of agents to fight microbial diseases. Given the alarming incidence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria of medical importance, there is a constant need for new and effective therapeutic agents. The present study investigated the presence of phyto constituents from Piper betle leaves available in the study area and also screened its antimicrobial properties. Antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains were examined by agar well diffusion method(inhibitory zone). The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of Carbohydrate, Flavanoids, Saponins, Tannins, Cardiac glycosides etc. The crude aqueous extracts inhibited the growth of bacterial strains with high susceptibility. Activity indices were also determined and this study will support the local use of the leaf of the plant, Piper betle for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes against bacterial infection. The antibacterial properties and phytochemical profiling of betel leaves firmly support their application in the development of various products, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
