Abstract

The present study deals with the pharmacological studies of ethanolic extract of aerial parts of two Malvaceous plants : Hibiscus micranthus Linn. and Abutilon bidentatum Hochst. The ethanolic extracts of aerial parts of plants were examined for antibacterial and antifungal studies by using Disc diffusion method . Escherichia coli, Klebsiella aerogenes, Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as Gram -ve and Staphylococcus aureus as Gram +ve bacteria were selected for antibacterial efficacy and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium moniliforme and Rhizoctonia bataticola fungi were selected for antifungal efficacy. In case of antibacterial efficacy , the ethanolic extract of H. micrathus did not exhibit any activity against selected bacteria but A. bidentatum exhibited trace activity against S. aureus and in case of antifungal efficacy, extract of both the plants inhibited growth of almost all the test fungi. Out of selected fungi , the growth of F. moniliforme inhibited the most by ethanolic extract (aerial parts) of both the plants.
