Pharmacological And Phytochemical Evaluation Of Urtica Dioica Against Staphylococcus -Aureus, Bacillus Cereus (Gram Positive And Gram Negative) Curing Dental Problem

Abstract

Aim: - Pharmacological and phytochemical evaluations of Urtica dioica against (gram positive and gram negative) Curing dental problem.

Method: - Shade dried Urtica dioica plant and stored leaves in this extraction plant leaves a coarse powder formed then aqueous done from 50 gm to obtain leaves powder using 500ml of ethanol and aqueous using Soxhlet Apparatus.

Result and conclusion: - Urtica dioica leaves have shown great anti-bacterial activity toward both bacteria (staphylococcus Aureus and bacillus cereus). As an extract of Urtica dioica of leaves (Ethanolic and Aqueous) were used among be to, ethanolic extract has highly percentage in comparison to aqueous extract.  Due to high percentage, ethanolic extract was used for the phytochemical screening and show positive result for percentage of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and Resins but shown slight negative result for Iodine test.during measurement of zone of inhibition, both the extract (ethanolic and aqueous) has shown grater activity toward Bacillus cereus and among the both extract, ethanolic extract was found to be more effective.
