Author(s): S. Surabi and V. Krishnan

Abstract: Medicinal plants are proving as an important source of potentially therapeutic drugs which are curing all kinds of infectious diseases throughout the world since the tradition of mankind, are still broadly used and have considerable importance in international trade. The present study deals with the phytochemical screening and biological activities of methanol extract of Cadaba fruticosa L. (Capparidaceae family). Varying amount of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids and phytosterols were detected. Methanol extracts were showed excellent antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities. Based on the results this can take it further research to identify the active principles of above activities.
