 ABSTRACT

Natural products from medicinal plants crude extracts provide fortuity for a new agent of medication because of the increasing failure of synthesised drug against resistance diseases and ailment as while as increasing demand for chemical diversity in screening programs, as well as seeking for therapeutic cure from natural product. Medicinal plants product contains various types of bioactive compounds. The aim of this paper was on crude extract and to evaluate the antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxicity of the crude extract of the stem-bark of Barringtonia asiatica. The stem-bark of Barringtonia asiatica produces significant and high biological activity of the crude extract (cytotoxicity 34.059 µg/mL, Antioxidant 63.4±0.11 µg/mL, antibacterial 20.80 ± 0.10 µg/mL and antifungal 17.33 ± 0.04 µg/mL) which qualify the use as an agent for an ailment and disease control.

Keywords: Extraction, Isolation, Characterization, Bioactive, Antioxidant Antibacterial, antifungal, Cytotoxicity of Barringtonia asiatica Stem-bark
