Antibacterial, phytochemical and GC-MS analysis of <i>Thevetia peruviana</i> extracts: An approach in drug formulation

<i>Thevetia peruviana</i> is a large flowering shrub in the Apocynaceae family used medicinally. The current study aims to determine phytochemicals and antimicrobial potential of <i>T. peruviana</i>. GC-MS was screen ethanol n-hexane extracts. Leaf extracts (ethanol hexane) revealed alkaloids, phenols, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, steroid carbohydrates, proteins, terpenoids, terpenoids fixed oils fats. analysis hexane extract 24 bioactive metabolites. leaf inhibited tested pathogens at 50, 100, 200 mg/ml concentrations. A plethora secondary metabolites demonstrated promising pharmacological benefits. chemicals are utilised treat bacterial infections, cancer, diabetes, inflammation. This antibacterial activity several plants traditional medicine.
