In our study, preliminary phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial and antihelminthic
investigation on Phyllanthus emblica was done. P.emblica is a well known and an
important medicinally valued plant. Although the efficacy of P.emblica fruit is widely
proved, use of leaf and bark is less investigated. Present aim of our study is to find the
biologically active compound present in this particular plant, check its antimicrobial and
antihelminthic property. Different solvent extract of the leaf and bark were used to
identify the bioactive compounds present and its antimicrobial activity was checked
against different human pathogens(MTCC).Antihelminthic activty was checked against
Phertima posthuma. The study shown it has promising antimicrobial and antihelminthic
property. Methanol of the leaf sample showed highest zone of inhibition against
Enterobacter aerogens and Enterobacter feacalis. Ethyl acetate of leaf and bark sample
showed antifungal activity against Rhizomucor species.The pharmacological property of
this medicinally important plant has to be further investigated.
