AN IN-VITRO STUDY ON ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITIES OF ETHYL ACETATE EXTRACT FROM THE LEAVES OF CYCLEA PELTATA

The present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity and their inhibitions way were investigated by Ethyl acetate extract of Cyclea peltata. Initially the phytochemical analysis was performed to identify the bioactive compounds responsible for the inflammatory activity. These plant possessed alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid and polyphenols, glycosides. Among the phytochemicals identified flavonoid extract found to have higher antiinflammatory activity against inflammatory enzymes like cycloxygenase and lipoxygenase. The strategies of in-vitro cycloxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitory activity were used to evaluate the efficacy of these compounds as antiinflammatory properties. The Ethyl acetate extracts of Cyclea peltata was studied, effective antibacterial activity by using the disc diffusion method. The Bacteria used for the determination of antibacterial activities were Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Key words: Cyclea peltata, flavonoid, Staphylococcus, Ethyl acetate, cycloxygenase, anti-inflammatory
