In Vitro Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activity of Different Extracts of Mimosa Pudica L.

Mimosa pudica L is highly medicinal plants. It commonly known as sensitive plant, shame plant, prayer plant, touch me not. Antibacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria were procured collection from Microbial Type Culture Collection (MTCC), Chandigarh, Punjob, India. Escherichia coli, (MTCC 433) Bacillus subtilis, (MTCC109), Streptococcus pyogensis, (MTCC 899) and Klebsilla pneumonia (MTCC 424) was determined by an agar well diffusion method. The root and leaf extract of the plants were extracted with four different solvents extracts, as ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol and n- butanol. The results of this antibacterial screening showed that root and leaf of ethyl acetate extract (EtOAc) was displayed good activity for pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity results were obtained for roots EtOAc MIC value between 18 ± 0.67, concentration 100 µl / MIC. These results may help to improve these natural antibacterial substances that could identified as bacterial disease. Antioxidant activity was analysed by the DPPH radical scavenging activity mechanism. The results showed that ethanol, ethyl acetate, n- butanol and methanol extract of M. pudica root and leaf. The most antioxidant activities against DPPH were displayed by the ethyl acetate extracts of M. pudica roots exhibiting 81.79 ± 4.77 and inhibition 81% respectively. The present results potential medicinal plants used by antioxidant, antibacterial and various properties were also present.
