INTRODUCTION
1. India has one of the oldest, richest and most diverse cultural traditions
called folk traditions associated with the use of medicinal herbs and it is
still a living tradition in India.
2. Various herbal medicines derived from plant extracts are being used in
the treatment of a wide variety of clinical diseases
3. Plant secondary metabolites have provided an important source of drugs
since ancient times and now around half of the practical drugs used are
derived from natural sources
4. There is a need for research and developmental work in herbal medicine
because apart from the social and economic benefits, it has become a
persistent aspect of present day health care in developing countries
MUNTINGIA CALABURA
1. It is also called as Singapore cherry, Jamaica Cherry, Strawberry tree & Jam tree
2. Fast growing fruit tree, Height: 7 to 12 m tall & Evergreen tree3. Leaves are evergreen, ovate, long pointed at the apex, oblique at the
base and covered with tiny sticky hairs4. It contain Small flowers with 5 green sepals and 5 white petals and
many prominent yellow stamens and slightly malodorous5. Fruits are round 1-1.25 cm wide, with red or sometimes yellow,
smooth, thin, tender skin Light-brown, soft, juicy pulp, with very sweet, musky, fig-like, fruits are edible
6. Fruits contain hundreds of tiny seeds which are minute, yellowish too fine to be noticed in eating
7. Tree yields fruits all over the year

3. ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
• Various antioxidant activity methods have been used in food and natural
products to monitor and compare.
• In the present research program , in vitro antioxidant activity was determined
using following methods.
Total phenolic assay
1, 1-Diphenyl 2-Picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity
Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay
Reducing power assay
Preparation of Stock Solutions of extracts and ascorbic acid
A.Total phenolic assay
The phenolic content in the extract was estimated by Folin-Ciocalteu method
20μl extract+ 1.58ml water + 100μl of FC reagent
mix
Incubate for 8min at room temprature
Add 300μl of sodium carbonate solution mix
solution was maintained at 200C for 2hours
Read the absorbance of each solution at 725nm
Plot a graph absorbance versus concentration.
B. 1, 1-Diphenyl 2-picryl Hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay
• Ascorbic acid was used as the standard control
1ml extract + 4ml of methanolic solution of DPPH
incubation at room temperature for 30minutes
record the absorbance at 517nm
• inhibition ratio was calculated using the formula,
• Plot a graph inhibition ratio verses concentration
C. Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay
The scavenging activity for hydroxyl radical was measured by fenton
reaction.
1mM FeCl3 + 1mM 1,10-phenanthroline + 0.2M-phosphate
buffer (pH 7.8) + 0.17M H2O2 + extract at various conc.
Incubation at room temp for 5min
The absorbance was measured at 560nm.
The hydroxy radical scavenging assay activity was calculate by the equation
i.e. % Inhibition = [ (A0-A) / A0 ] × 100
where, A0 = absorbance of the control (without samples)
A = absorbance of test samples.
mix
D. Reducing power assay
The reducing power of the extract was determined by the method of
Oyaizu with slight modification.
The extract at various conc + 0.2M-phosphate buffer (pH 6.6)
+ 1% potassium hexacyanoferrate (k3 Fe(CN)6)
in water bath for 20min.
Then the reaction stopped by adding 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soln.
The supernatant was mixed with distl water and 1% ferric chloride soln.
The absorbance of the reducing power assay was measured at 700nm.
Left for 10min
Centrifuge at 800rpm for 10min
Mix and Incubate at 50◦c
Antibacterial activities of plant extracts are tested by agar well diffusion
method.
The microorganisms used are Escherichia coIi, Bacillus subtillus,
Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Bacillus cereus. [15]
4. ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
Procedure :Molten nutrient agar media is poured into sterile Petri plates.
kept for solidification
bacterial culture swab inoculated on to the surface medium using sterile
cotton swab.
Using a sterile cork-borer of 6 mm diameter, four holes were made
in to the set agar in Petri dishes containing the bacterial culture.
The wells are filled with varied concentrations of extract
Standard antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (5 mg/ml) was used as reference
or positive control.
Incubated for 24hrs at 370C of after loading of the extracts.
The plates are observed for clear zone formation around the well.
Antimicrobial activities are expressed in millimetre
Antifungal activities of plant extracts are tested by potato dextrose agar well
diffusion method. [15]
The microorganisms used are T viride, cladospora, candida, and A.niger.
Preparation of different concentration of fruit and leaf extract of Muntingia
calabura for antifungal screening in DMSO solution.
ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY
Procedure :Media is poured into sterile Petri plates
fungal culture swab inoculated on to the surface medium using sterile cotton swab.
Using a sterile cork-borer of 6 mm diameter, four holes were made
in to the set agar in Petri dishes containing the fungal culture.
The wells is filled with varied concentrations of extract
Standard antibiotic Fluconazole (5 mg/ml) was used as reference
or positive control.
Incubated for 72hrs at 370C of after loading of the extracts.
The plates are observed for clear zone formation around the well.
Antimicrobial activities are expressed in millimetre.
5. ANTHELMINTHIC ACTIVITY
• Five serial suspensions of extracts are prepared in soluble solvent ranging
from 2% to 10 % (20mg/ml to 100mg/ml).
• The standard reference drug Albendazole is prepared at 2%.
• Thus a total of twelve groups comprising five tests for each extract (leaf and
fruit extract of Muntingia calabura) and one negative control (Solvent) and
one positive control (Albendazole) are subjected to evaluation of
anthelmintic property.
• Each group consists of four approximately equal sized earthworms, which
are released in to a large Petri plate containing 50ml of each suspension.
• Observations are made for the time taken to paralyze, and death of
individual worms. [16]

CONCLUSION
The clinical efficacy of many existing antibiotics is being treatened by
the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. Plants due to their
medicinal values could be suitably exploited for preventing and curing
the diseases. The present study indicates the potential usefulness of
methanol extract Muntingia calabura in the treatment of pathogenic
diseases, helminthiasis and various other disesases. The plant extact
shows anthelminthic activity, antifungal activity and antibacterial
activity. The present work on invitro antibacterial, antifungal and
antihelmentic evaluation of muntingia extract forms a primary
platform for further pharmological studies and research.
