Phytochemical and bio-efficacy studies on methanolic flower extracts of Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.) Baker ex Heyne.

Bio-assay revealed the presence of specific and selective antimicrobial compounds in the fractions. Broad range activity of plant extracts as per observations in this study was due to presence of multiple antimicrobial compounds or synergic effects of these compounds. Therefore, standardization of active fractions and study for in vivo efficacy may result in development of better antimicrobial drugs.
