Abstract

Lantana camara is a widely distributed shrub in tropical and subtropical regions and has been recognized for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine systems. This study aimed to focus and explore the antimicrobial potential and phytochemical composition of Lantana camara leaves extracts. Various solvents including ethanol, ether, benzene and water were used for extraction. Antimicrobial activity was assessed against pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria using agar well diffusion method. Phytochemical analysis was done to identify the presence of bioactive compounds using standard procedures. The results showed significant antimicrobial activity of Lantana camara extracts against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The ethanolic and ether extracts were found to be more effective in comparison to other extracts. The phytochemical analysis of this study showed the presence of various secondary metabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids etc which are known for their antimicrobial properties. The potential of Lantana camara as a natural source of antibacterial compounds is highlighted by this study to understand the active ingredients responsible for antimicrobial activity. Further studies are however needed to explore and identify such molecules.
