In:
International journal of pharmacy and pharmaceutical scienceSummary: Objective
:
Phytochemical is naturally present in the seaweeds which biologically play a
significant role. The intention of this study was designed to
screen the phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial potential of selected seaweed collected from Rameshwaram and Tuticori
n Southern coast
of India.
Method
s:
The present study investigated the presence of phytochemical constituents and
also
total phenol, total carbohydrate and total protein
quantity of the brown seaweed.
Dictyopteris
delicatula
,
Padina gymnospora
,
Acanthophora spicifera
,
Portieria
hornemannii
and
Ulva
faciata
were
extracted with solvents having different polarities like
methanol, ethanol, chloroform and water and screened for the phytochemical constituents,
total phenol, total carbohydrate, total protein and DPPH with standard procedure. The antibacterial activities of the seaweed
s were examined by
agar well diffusion met
hod.
Result
s:
Among the five seaweeds,
U.
faciata
showed the maximum number of active constituents in the methanol extract likewise
P. gymnospora
was found to have a number of diligent compounds in ethanol extract.
A. spicifera
showed minimum compounds in ethanol as well as chloroform
extract. Moreover
A. spicifera
,
P.
hornemannii
have shown
the
superior
quantity of protein and carbohydrate when compared to other species. The
scavenging activity of methanol extracts at 5 mg
/ml
concentration
P. hornemannii
shows 18.2% and
A. spicifera
possess 17.1%. In the antibacterial
activity, methanol extracts of all the seaweed showed
a
potential
inhibitory activity against
B
. c
ereus
and
P. a
eruginosa
compared to other
pathogens.
