In vitro ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT FROM ENDOSPERM OF GERMINATED PALMYRA PALM SEED (Borassus flabellifer L)

Abstract

In this study, aqueous extract of endosperm of Borassus flabellifer L. (Palmyra palm) seed was subjected for antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity and antiproliferative activity. It was found to be more effective in suppressing UTI bacterial growth at the concentration of 25µl/well. Similar to how Aspergillus niger shown greatest zone of inhibition at concentration of 300 µl/ml, Aspergillus brasiliensis and A. flavus displayed highest zone of inhibition at 400 µl/ml. The extract was found to have good antiproliferative activity against Blood Cancer (MOLT – 4) cell lines.
