Abstract

Pinda concanensis is annual herb belongs to the family apiaceae. The phytochemical constituents, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), saponins, tannins and alkaloids were quantified. Antifungal, antioxidant properties of the plant extracts (methanol, ethanol and acetone) of Pinda concanensis were evaluated. All the phytochemicals which were analyzed are present in the extract. The methanolic extract showed the highest quercetin content (4.42 ppm-parts per million) analyzed by Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) and also it showed greatest DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity. In antimicrobial activity the screened fungi Aspergillus niger, Fuasarium oxysporium, and Alternaria alternata exhibit significant activity against methanolic extract of P. concanensis. The result inthis report is methanolic extract has high quality of phytochemicals and excellent Antifungal, antioxidant potential.
