AQUATIC EXTRACT OF ACACIA CONCINA LINN HAS ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTHELMINTIC PROPERTIES.

Abstract

Herbal shampoo made from shikakai fruit is used to heal skin conditions including jaundice and constipation. Research quality is
low, as seen by this plant's literature review, making it difficult to find novel therapeutics. Acacia concinna leaf aqueous extract
showed considerable antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in an antibacterial screening.
Greatest inhibition was shown with the gram-positive bacterium Micrococcus luteus, while maximum antibacterial activity was
shown against E. coli. When compared to piperazine citrate at a dosage of 5mg/ml, the aqueous extract of Acacia concinna
demonstrated considerable anthelimentic action. The plant extract, in addition to having inert chemical elements, also has multiple
of active therapeutically active ingredients accountable for more therapeutic action than the single active constituent of synthetic
medication in the event of resistant microbial strains.
