Isolation, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Convolvulus prostratus Plant Extract

Abstract

The aim of the present study is extraction, isolation and antimicrobial evaluation of Convolvulus prostratus. The main objective of the research was to determine the plant's potential medical uses. Various antimicrobial drugs are present in in the era still there is lacuna to halt microbial infection. The method of extraction was performed by Soxhlet extraction techniques. The compound was isolated by using column chromatography and identified by using various analytical methods like UV, FTIR, NMR and mass spectra. The antimicrobial study was perform by using well-diffusion method. The percentage yield of the chloroform extract obtained 60 %. One compound was isolated from chloroform extract whose structure were identified as (8-hydroxy-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-3-yl) 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoate by spectroscopic methods. The antimicrobial activity of isolated compound was show prominent inhibitory effect on E. coli. Convolvulus prostratus for its medicinal properties, focusing on extraction, isolation, and antimicrobial evaluation. This underscores Convolvulus prostratus potential as a source of antimicrobial agents, highlighting its significance in combating microbial infections.
