Abstract : Phytochemical screening, Antimicrobial activities and mineral Determination of aqueous extract of
Stachtarpheta indica were assessed. The result reveal the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, glycosides and
anthraquinones. The disc diffusion of aqueous extract showed Escherichia coli ,13 and antibiotic, 19 mm; Bacillus subtilis,
10 and anti –biotic, 17 mm; Klebsiller pnemuoniae , 14 and anti biotic, 24mm and Pseudmonas aeruginosa, 24 and
antibiotic, 36 mm which are all comparable with the standard antibiotic cyprotomycin. The mineral content determination by
flame photometer revealed that 1.25 (Na
+
), 0.85 (K
+
), 1.75 (Ca
2+
) % which is a clear indication of the safety of the extract
for the hypertensive patients and could be used to lower blood pressure.
Keywords— Microbials, Mineral, Phytochemicals and Stachtarpheta indica extracts.
