EVALUATION OF INVITRO ANTI-OXIDANT, TOTAL FLAVONOID CONTENT AND ANTI-MICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SOLANUM SURATTENSE (WILD EGG PLANT) BURN LEAVES

The present research work relates to the preparation of ethanoic extraction of solanum surattense leaves and evaluation of extract for the anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activity The phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extract solanum surattense has revealed the presence of various phytochemical constituents such as Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins, sterols, carbohydrates, glycosides. The Antioxidant activity was analysed using hydrogen peroxide assay method for the ethanolic extracts of solanum in concentrations of 10 - 50µg/Ml. The results revelaed that the ethanolic extract of solanum had showed the 60% activity The prepared extract was evaluated for Antimicrobial activity by using Agar well diffusion by Zone Inhibition method The antimicrobial of ethanolic exract of Solanum surattense leaves against two bacterial species at various concentrations were (20, 40,60,80,and 100µg/mL concentrations were evaluated. The results revealed that the Solanum surattense leaves showed good and better results for Antioxidant and Anti microbial activity. Thus it serves as an encouragement towards development of new drugs for the benefit of mankind. Key words: solanum surattense, Leaves, Ethanolic extract, Anti-oxidant, Anti- microbial activity
