A Comparative Study on Antimicrobial Activity of Clerodendrum Infortunatum, Simarouba Glauca and Psoralea Corylifolia

Abstract

Ethanolic extracts of leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn, Simarouba Glauca and Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial activity. All ethanolic extracts exhibited significant anti-microbial activity comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. Ethanolic extract of Clerodendrum infortunatum shows more inhibitory zone as compared to ethanolic extracts Simarouba Glauca of and Psoralea corylifolia .The mixture of all three extracts together in equal concentration shows more inhibitory zone as compared to other extracts.
