Abstract

Plants have been an important source of medicine with qualities for thousands of years. Mainly on traditional remedies such as herbs for their history it has been used as a popular folk medicine. Ipomoea pescaprae is used as medicinal values. Screening of photochemical (Qualitative and Quantitative) analysis of Ipomoea pescaprae shows that almost of the chemical constituents are present Tannin, Phlobatannins, Saponin, Flavonoids, Steroids, Terpenoids, and Cardiac glycosides Anthroquinones which are used in medicinal purpose. Ipomoea pescaprae are having the antimicrobial activity against human pathogens. In 100% concentration of extraction zone of inhibition is high. But 25%, 50% and 75% shows the lowest inhibition activity. Proximate analysis indicates the nutrients efficacy. In GC-MS analysis some of the Phytocomponents are screened as Eugenol, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester, Phenol, 2, 4-bis (1-phenylethyl)-are present in Ipomoea pescaprae.
