  • Abstract:
  • Acalypha indica is an erect annual herb with numerous long branches covered with soft hairs. According to the Siddha text, ‘Pathartha Guna Chinthamani’ (Page no: 179), In the present study the plant was subjected to phytochemical evaluation and anti-microbial activities against some Gram +ve and –ve microorganism. The total phenolic and flavonoid content indicates that these compounds are likely to be the main nociceptive and inflammatory contributing to the observed activities. Maximum phenolic 37.1 ± 1.34a(mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (39.91 ± 1.06 QE/g) contents were also found in the methanol extract. results showed that the highest antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 0.051 and 4.18 mg/mL for DPPH and ABTS, respectively.
