Abstract :
Bioactive chemicals found in medicinal plants
are used to treat a variety of illnesses. The medicinal herb
Achyranthus aspera is the subject of the current inquiry.
The aim of the current investigation was screening of
phytochemicals and antibiotic activity of whole plant
methanol extract against a few pathogenic fungi and
bacteria. seven distinct solvents such as water, acetone,
methanol, ethanol, diethyl ether, benzene, and chloroform
were used for phytochemical screening of the plant's root,
stem, and leaf. Using a conventional technique, the extracts
were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening.
Alkaloids, Saponins, Tannins, Steroids, Glycosides, and
Flavonoids are all detected by phytochemical screening.
Achyranthus aspera demonstrated antimicrobial properties
against microorganism. According to this investigation, the
methanolic extract had the strongest antibacterial efficacy
against practically all test microorganisms. The extract
exhibited a maximum of 15 mm zone of inhibition when
tested against Total Coliform, and a minimum of 8 mm zone
of inhibition when tested against Salmonela aureginosa.
