Paper Title:
Evaluation of antibacterial, antioxidant, and phytochemical properties of leaf, stem and root extracts of Annona squamosa in relation to pathogenic bacteria
In India, Annona squamosa is widely utilized as a traditional remedy for various ailments. The antibacterial properties of extracts derived from the leaves, stems and roots of Annona squamosa were examined against two strains of gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two strains of gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The antibacterial compounds were extracted sequentially using solvents including hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. The antimicrobial efficacy of the extracts was assessed through the agar well diffusion method. It was observed that the root extracts of A. squamosa demonstrated greater antibacterial activity in comparison to the extracts from the leaves and stems. Notably, the chloroform extracts of A. squamosa roots were effective against E. coli and B. subtilis. Additionally, this study evaluated the antioxidant capacity of the leaf, stem, and root extracts of A. squamosa using the DPPH free radical scavenging method. The objective of this research is to present a detailed overview of the chemical constituents found in the leaf, stem, and root extracts of A. squamosa, along with the diverse range of phytochemicals identified in the study. Given the rising incidence of multi-drug resistant pathogens, these results bolster the therapeutic potential of this plant in traditional medicine, thereby enhancing its medicinal significance.
