Abstract :
Plants have proved to be significant natural resources for medicines; documentation of their use in medicine originates from ancient times. Ethnobotanical and ubiguitous plants provide a rich resource for natural drug research and development. In the present investigation, the phytochemical and DPPH activity were high in Lippia nodiflora (Linn.) while antibacterial activity and H2O2 scavenging activity were maximum in Vitex negundo (Linn.) The methanol extract is best solvent for phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of both selected plant against test pathogens. Both plants have been used because of their antimicrobial traits, which are due to compounds synthesized in the secondary metabolism of the plant; such as phenols, terpenoids, alkaloids and flavonoids. Synergism between plant extract and synthetic antibiotics can develop standardization of herbal medicine for treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.
