ABSTRACT

In the present examine of the biological activities and characterization of Aerial part of Boerhaavia diffusa from Govulapuram village, Villupuram District. The plant samples were extracted and polarity for screening radical scavenging activity by using DPPH assays method. In the qualitative analysis of phytochemical profile revealed the presence of highest amount of phenolic compounds from the three extract of Boerhaavia diffusa. From that the highest radical scavenging capacity followed by n-hexane (BDHE) and methanol (BDEA) extracts. The antibacterial activity has evidenced average zone of inhibition ranging from 3-7 mm, Ethyl acetate extract presented highest inhibition with a zone size of 7mm for E. fecalis, while E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus showing average zone sizes. According to the GC-MS results, ethanol extract of Boerhaavia diffusa was subjected to study of medicinal properties were presence in the phytocomponents in the plants material. So the present study, concluded to expose that the plant has quite a number of chemical constituents, which may be responsible for many pharmacological actions and have protective or disease preventive properties.
