ABSTRACT

Lantana camara is considered as a notorious weed and a popular ornamental plant. It has been observed since ancient times because the plants are an excellent source of medicine. Lantana camara has long been considered one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. Lantana camara is used in traditional medicine to treat cuts, swelling, ulcers, cataracts, biliary fever, itching, eczema and rheumatism. Different parts of the Lantana camara plant are used to treat colds, headaches, whooping cough, asthma, chicken pox, bronchitis, eye lesions, and high blood pressure. Lantana camara has been scientifically studied for various therapeutic activities like antibacterial, antioxidant, antipyretic, insecticidal, antimicrobial, wound healing etc. Various literatures have reported the phytoconstituents present in all parts of Lantana camara. In the current study, phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity of leaves and stem of Lantana camara were studied. The phytochemical analysis using chloroform and ethanol extracts for phenolic acids (Gallic acid) and flavonoids (Quercetin, Myricetin) by HPLC method in stem and leaves of Lantana camara. The present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of ethanol and chloroform leaves extract against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi by using agar well diffusion method. This study can be concluded that Lantana camara of steam and leaves are comprised of bioactive compounds which possess antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
