Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the preliminary phytochemical and antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of (leaf and stem) heliotropium indicum L. (Family: Boraginaceae). Perliminary phytochemcial tests of in this plant leaf and stem confirm various phytohemical like Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Phenols, Terpenoids, Steroids, Saponin and carbohydrates. Antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutants, Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Compare that four microorganisms of methanol extracts of this plant leaves and stem showed antimicrobial activity against rich in Escherichia coli. Maximum clear zone of inhibition was found in Escherichia coli bacteria. In this study give the result of Heliotropium indicum stem and leaf were showed the presence of secondary metabolites like Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Phenols, Terpenoids, Steroids, Saponin and carbohydrates. And also these are against to the antibacterials (Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus mutants, Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus). This plant leaf is essential for prevent the Human Breast cancer.
