Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the phytochemical analysis of different solvent extracts of stem and leaves of Butea monosperma. Phytochemical screening was carried out for six solvent extract revealed the presence of various bioactive compounds include tannin, flavonoid, terpinoids, lipids, acedic compounds, reducing sugar and carbohydrates. The antibacterial activity of Butea monosperma stem extract, was studied by agar well diffusion method against the test organisms, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The extract of stem was used to determine the antibacterial activity of tested organisms and the zone on inhibition were measured. From these analyses of Butea monosperma leaf extracts had the maximum inhibition activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12mm) followed by Escherichia coli (11mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (07 mm). The stem extracts of Butea monosperma had the maximum inhibition activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (09 mm) followed by Escherichia coli (07 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (04 mm).
