ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND HPLC ANALYSIS OF THEVETIA PERUVIANA LEAF EXTRACTS
Thevetia Peruviana (or Cascabela thevetia) belongs to the family Apocynaceae and commonly called as Yellow Oleander. The leaves of this significant medicinal plant were subjected to antibacterial investigation and HPLC analysis. Hexane, acetone, and methanol were used as organic solvents. Four different concentrations (200 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml and 25 mg/ml) of each extract i.e. hexane, aceto...
