Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the leaves extract of traditional medicinal plant T. cordifolia for qualitative estimation of phytoconsituents and subsequently determine its antibacterial and antioxidant activity to authenticate its use in traditional medicines. The leaf extracts of T. cordifolia expressed the presence of several phytochemicals viz., alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins and sugars. The methanolic extract displayed the presence of highest phytochemical compounds. It may be due to the higher solubility of active components in this solvent as compared to other solvents. Results suggest that the methanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate extract have substantial antibacterial activity against tested bacterial species. Methanolic extract showed noteworthy antioxidant potential compared to other solvents. The investigation further propose that the metabolites present in leaf tissue of T. cordifolia can be potential source of novel natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents and has prospective applications in food industry as an antioxidant.
