Abstract: Natural plant products are the source of most active ingredients of the medicine. The extract of many plants uses in traditional medicine contain a wide range of curative agents that are used in many modern medicines. The present investigation is on phytochemical analysis and in vitro antimicrobial activities of dried leaves were done with the sample extracted with n-butanol and methanol extracts of Soymida febrifuga and Saraca asoca. From the phytochemical screening of the leaf extracts revealed the presence of carbohydrate, tannins, glycosides, flavonoids, phenols and steroidal compounds in the two plants. TLC profiles of both leaves extracts gives an idea about the presence of various phytochemicals. In vitro antimicrobial activity of both extracts was evaluated by disc diffusion method using some microbial species such as staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus substilis, klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa, candida albicans. The results of antimicrobial activity revealed that the extracts showed excellent inhibitory activity against all the tested pathogens and the both extracts showed comparatively better activity than zitromax.
