Abstract
Present study deals with the qualitative phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of leaves of Homonoia ripariaLour using various extracts (Aqueous, Ethyl Acetate, n- Hexane). Aqueous extract contains more number of secondary metabolites whereas ethyl acetate extract contains a least number. Antimicrobial activity of Homonoia riparia leaf extract was tested against Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium; Bacillus cereus by agar well diffusion methods. The n-hexane extracts does not show inhibition against any organism while ethyl acetate extract shows a significant range of inhibitory effect against Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus.
