Abstract
Abstract: The aim of this study to discover the efficacy of various parts of Cordia sinensis plant against some particular human pathogens which are recognized to cause diseases and to check antioxidant and bioactive compounds from different parts of plant C. sinensis. Plant extracts were examined by quantification of phytochemical compounds and antimicrobial activity. This study reveals that acetone extracts of stems, leaves and roots of the C. sinensis showed excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia and also against fungal species Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Penicillium notatum. Phytochemicals and several secondary metabolites were quantified and also qualitatively analyzed in C. sinensis extracts such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, glycosides and saponins. Alike, biochemical primary metabolites like protein, total sugar and reducing sugar were also estimated in different parts of C. sinensis and these results correlated with antimicrobial activity.
