Abstract
The plant based bioactive compounds always played a significant role in controlling bacterial and fungal diseases in crop plants and animals. Suppression of microbial growth in plants, vegetables and fruits are also essential to reduce the health risk to man and animal. The present study was designed to evaluate physico-chemical, phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and GC - MS analysis of methanolic extracts of Hemigraphis colorata and Pimenta dioica. The results of the study showed higher ash values in H. colorata than in P. dioica but the extractive values were better in P. dioica. Phytochemicals such as total phenol, flavonoid and alkaloid contents were higher in P. dioica (771.183 ± 0.779 mg GAE/g, 64.266 ± 0.0185 mg QE/g, and 104.64 ± 0.308 mg/gm respectively). H. colorata showed high amount of tannin (162.18 ± 0.328 mg TAE/g). Total antioxidant activity was found high (432.333 ± 0.6466 mg/g) in H. colorata and low (424.49 ± 1.113mg/g) in P. dioica. GC-MS analysis of P. dioica and H. colorata revealed the presence of 11 and 17 major peeks respectively. The present study showed that the selected medicinal plants are the potential source of bioactive compounds and the use of these plants for pharmaceutical purpose is very promising.
