Abstract
The plant Croton bonplandianum Baill. (Euphorbiaceae) commonly known as ‘Bantulasi’ is used to treat liver disorders, skin diseases including ring worm infection, to cure the swelling of body, bronchitis and asthma. Croton bonplandianum Baill extract was investigated for chemical composition by Gas Chromatography-Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) method and antibacterial activity was studied by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method. GC-MS analysis of extract shown presence of four terpenoids constituents. Methanolic fraction obtained from ethanolic extract of C. bonplandianum leaves shown antibacterial activity against various microorganisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
