Dr. Aarti Tolia

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;In the present work an attempt has been made to find out the in vitro antitubercular activity of Cassia occidentalis L. (Caesalpiniaceae). Cassia occidentalis L. leaf and seed extracts were screened against&nbsp;Mycobacterium tuberculosis&nbsp;H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis &nbsp;strains using Microplate Alamar Blue Assay. The present study revealed that Carbon tetrachloride and Acetone solvent extracts of Cassia occidentalis L. leaf and seed were inactive against Mycobacterium tuberculosis&nbsp;H37Ra and Mycobacterium bovis &nbsp;strains at a concentration of 100&micro;g/ml.</p>
