Author(s): Panshu Pratik and Md. Athar Shadique

Phytochemical analysis of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the leaves of Tilkor was carried out. These extracts exhibited satisfactory inhibitory activities against bacteria and fungi strains, which include; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum and Rhizopus stolonifer. Methanol extract of Tilkor possesses antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH free radical with IC50 of 187.58 μg/mL, using DPPH antioxidant assay. GC-MS analysis of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the plant principally revealed the presence of phytol, ethyl hexadecanoate and clionasterol with their corresponding percentage abundance of 57.76%, 18.34% and 9.78%, respectively.
