| Abstract:
|
Plant metabolites have been the target of researchers from a long time in the preparation of herbal formulations. One of the
important aspects of folkloric remedies is to find out the compounds effective against microbial pathogens and lowering the
free radical induced lipid peroxidation levels. Bauhinia variegata is used in many Ayurvedic preparations and has been
observed to show many medicinal properties. The aim of the present study was to find out the antibacterial and antioxidant
potential of Bauhinia variegate. A qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed for the detection of alkaloids, fixed oil,
phenolic compounds, proteins, carbohydrates, glycosides and flavonoids. The results obtained from this study reveals that
Bauhinia variegata possess high antibacterial and antioxidant compounds. It was further observed that the enhanced
protection from oxidative damage could be correlated with the high contents of phenolics, proline and ascorbate levels.
