“…From ages, In Asia plants were used as medicine with the human involvement. The herbal medicine contains the different types of unique substance to treat infectious and chronic disease (7). According to the ancient recorded data around 5000-year-old records were founded that describes the usage of medicinal plants to prepare the medicines.…”

Plant's extract, essential oil and numerous kinds of secondary compounds had antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidants activities with the less or no toxic effects that are essential in the management of many diseases (7). Actually, secondary compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, carotenoids and other phenolic compounds are known as phytochemicals.…”

Since the ancient time medicinal plants and spices are used as herbal medicine because of their medicinal values. They are the valuable resources of the natural antimicrobial compounds used to treat the infectious disease caused by bacteria and other pathogens. Plant’s extract, essential oil and numerous kinds of secondary compounds had antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidants activities with less or no toxic effects; that are essential to cure many diseases. The compounds isolated from the medicinal spice plants show antimicrobial activity against some bacterial strains that has the ability to affect the food quality and shelf life of the food. These plants have various medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory action, tonic, expectorants, diuretics, astringents, digestives, carminative, antibiotics and stimulants etc. The spectrum of compounds present in medicinal spice plants, and the structure of major compounds discussed in this review, are responsible for all of their medicinal properties. Therefore, plants are used in the form of maceration, fluid extracts, oil, syrup, juice, decoction, powder, tea and ointments. In the terms of the frequencies and configuration of various radicals both medicinal plants and antibiotics are different. Since plant-based products have no toxicity, also less costly than conventional drugs, research on the compounds found in medicinal plants and their action against harmful microbial species should be conducted in order to improve human health and expand the use of medicinal plants. Plants also have the ability to inhibit or alter protein-protein interactions, making them a powerful modulator of signal transduction, apoptosis, mitosis and immune response.

“…e fully powdered plant taken for the successive extraction process in hot continuous process for Soxhlet [18] was 20 g plant in porous bag manually prepared from the sterilized filter paper. In the round bottom flask of Soxhlet was taken 250 mL of ethanol, and a manually prepared cellulose bag was placed in the thimble chamber of Soxhlet.…”

Over the centuries, humans use different types of therapeutic plants to treat several diseases. Cyperaceae family has a significant number of monocotyledon plants, and Schoenoplectus is one of the genera that belong to this family; about forty-nine compounds are isolated. Our current study was evaluated on Schoenoplectus triqueter L. Palla to show the potential of its antioxidants and confirm the phytochemical constituents in this plant species. Fully powdered plant taken for successive extraction process in hot continuous process for Soxhlet was 20 g plant in porous bag manually prepared; the constant temperature provided was 40–50°C. In the maceration extraction method, 30 g plant was taken in a closed jar and the solvent placed for extraction was 300 mL of ethanol; the extract gets filtered and fractioned to different solvents such as water, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fraction. Important types of phytochemicals found in this species are alkaloids, proteins, amino acids, flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, and carbohydrates. All the entire extracted fractions which are water, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane possess noticeable activity at various concentrations of 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 µg/mL by the dilution method. The ethyl acetate extract holds greater median inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 3.52 ± 0.01), and water showed IC50 = 3.61 ± 0.01 percent potential as compared to the standard ascorbic acid which possesses IC50 = 2.27 ± 0.01. Their potential may be enhanced or lowered with the purification of extracts which might be useful in biological activities.

“…The media is prepared in Moller Hinton agar (MHA) for growing the bacterial strain, 9.5 grams of MH agar was taken in 250 ml of distilled water [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The media and the empty Petri dishes wereautoclaved at 121 0 c for about one hour to sterilize the media and Petri dishes.…”

Our present investigation aims to test the antibacterial action of Scheonoplectus triqueter (L) palla against the gram negative bacteria i.e. Escherichia coli and gram positive bacteria i.e staphylococcus aureus. The crude extract is taken in ethanol which is then fractionated into a different fraction in n-hexane, ethyl acetate, di-chloro methane (DCM) and water.The fractions are then separately applied to E.coli and s.aureus bacterial strains. Ampicillin (10 micro gram), Clindamycin (2 microgram) and Kanamycin sulfate (30 microgram) are used as a positive control while di-methyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as negative control. The result of antibacterial activity of Scheonoplectus triqueter (L) palla revealed to us that n-hexane section of the crude extractdisplayed relatively highest activity for E.coli (gram negative bacteria) and ethyl acetate fraction displayed relatively high activity for S.aureus (gram positive bacteria).
