Abstract

Capparis grandis Linn. is a species of the family Capparidaceae. It is commonly known as ‘Pachunda’. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity and phytochemical analysis of an aqueous extract of Capparis grandis Linn. Medicinal plants have an alternative rich source of phytochemicals and antibacterial agents. The phytochemical result showed the presence of carbohydrate, steroid, alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, and glycosides. The antibacterial activity was studied by the agar well diffusion method using an aqueous extract of Capparis grandis Linn. leaves. This extract was tested against five bacterial strains Pseudomonas, Bacillus pasteurii, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutant, and three fungal strains Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, and Dreschlera turcica. This result shows that the leaves of this plant have a potentially broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and phytochemical constituents and these help in the production and development of phytomedicines for antibacterial or antimicrobial properties.
