PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF GMELINA ARBOREA ROXB.
Abstract
- Gmelina arborea Roxb. (White Teak) is a deciduous plant which belongs to the family Lamiaceae. This family is observed in Kyaing Tong University Campus area, Kyaing Tong Township. White teak is detected the morphological and organoleptic characters, medicinal uses, physicochemical properties, phytochemical constituents, elemental analysis and antimicrobial activity. Firstly, the morphological and organoleptic characters were presented. Medicinal and other uses were described from local people and practitioners. Secondly, the physicochemical properties showed that the solubility of the powdered samples was more soluble in ethanol, distilled water and methanol than other solvents. Phytochemical analysis of the powdered samples of leaves revealed the absence of steroid and others are presence in the different extract of the species. In the elemental analysis, percentage of calcium, silicon and potassium are higher than other elements. The antimicrobial activity against the tests organisms was founded. Especially pet ether, water extract and methanol extract were more effective than other solvent but possess the highest against on Xanthomones oryzae, Pseumonous fluorescens and Aspergillus flavous. These investigations may be helpful in development of herbal formulations.
