Abstract

The Phytoconstituents of ethanolic/aqueous crude extract of leaves of P. graveolens was, screened qualitatively and quantitatively as well tested against some sorts of pathogenic bacteria. And the revealed results were by the Qualitative detection of those components such as Tannins, Saponins, Terpenoids, Volatile Oils, Flavonoids, Phenols, Aryl-amines, Alkaloids, Reducing Sugars, Glycosides and Amines, are varied in its presence in the extract between abundance, medium and few in existence. As for the Quantitative detection of the extract, the results were for flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids and polysaccharides 63.4, 60.3, 53.2 and 48 %, respectively. Besides, the bioactivity of ethanolic/aqueous crude extract of leaves of P. graveolens was tested against each of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and results revealed 17, 14, 12 and 15 mm respectively.
