Abstract
The Western Ghats of India is well known for its biodiversity. The Pteridophytes are important but much ignored group from this region. This paper deals with qualitative analysis of secondary metabolites from Angiopteris evecta (G.Forst) Hoffm, The qualitative analysis of powdered extracts was carried out with reference to saponins, phenols, tannins, phytosterols, triterpens, alkaloids terpenoids., etc. Plants contain numerous biologically active compounds, many of which have exhibited antimicrobial properties. Over the past few years, strains of many pathogenic species resistant to all widely available antibiotics have emerged and proliferated. The antibiotics are sometimes associated with adverse effects on hosts, which include hypersensitivity, immunosuppression, allergic reactions and depletion of beneficial gut and mucosal microbes. As in human, reports of antibiotic resistant bacteria emerging in animal populations are appearing with increasing frequency. In many parts of the world plants are used for antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral medicine. The extracts were used as a source of medicinal agents to cure urinary tract infections, cervicitis, vaginitis and gastrointestinal disorders. In this study the Angiopteris evecta was collected from the mid-western Ghats of Hosanagra and Thirthalli, Shivamogga District, Karnataka State, India. 80% ethanol extracts of collected plants.
