Abstract
The secondary metabolites available in the plants have been targeted as the lead compounds to develop new drug in the recent times. Testing the plants for their medicinal properties can give the glimpses of their potentiality to be used as the resource for the new drugs. For this purpose, many such plants which have been used as the constituents in many medicinal formulations have been scientifically analysed for their medicinal properties. One of such medicinal plants which has been used traditionally is Euphorbia prostrata Ait., This plant was analysed for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The plants were shade dried and extracted with ethanol using fine powder of the plant. The analysis showed the presence of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity with the ethanolic extracts of the leaves. Further studies on the biological activity of these compounds may shed more light on the medicinal importance of this plant
