Abstract

This project work was focused on “in vitro screening of Icacinaceous plants indigenous to Kerala”. From phytochemical analysis of ethyl acetate extract of leaves of Sarcostigma kleinii it was found that carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids,tannins, phenols, glycosides are present and saponins,proteins & amino acids are absent. From phytochemical analysis of ethyl acetate extract of leaves of Pyrenacantha volubilis it was found that carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, flavonoids,alkaloids, glycosides, tannins and phenolic compounds are present. Sarcostigma kleinii leaves are used to treat helminthiasis, ulcers, leprosy and skin conditions traditionally. Pyrenacantha volubilisleaves are mainly used to treat cancer. The present study deals with the anti-inflammatory activity and antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate extracts of leaves of Sarcostigma kleinii and Pyrenacantha volubilis of Icacinaceae family. The results suggest that ethyl acetate extract of leaves of these two Icacinaceous plants may serve as a anti - inflammatory and antibacterial agents which may be due to the chemical constituents like alkaloids, phenols, tannins or flavonoids present in these plants.

Keywords: Screening, in-vitro screening, antibacterial activity, anti-inflammatory, biochemical activity, laboratory models
