Phytochemical Screening And Antifungal Activity Of Rosa Indica

Abstract

Rosa indica's methanolic extract was created in a Soxhlet reaction, and the dry powder that resulted was dissolved in 1 mg/ml dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The antifungal efficacy of these methanolic extracts was examined. The test was run on various fungus strains. Five fungal strains were examined for antifungal activity, and nearly all fungal infections showed good zones of inhibition. The methanolic extract of Rosa indica petals was used at various dosages to produce zones of inhibition with diameters ranging from 10 mm to 14 mm. The various phytochemical analyses of the methanolic extract of Rosa indica flower petals produced positive findings, proving the existence of these phytoconstituents. Alkaloids, anthraquinones, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, and other secondary metabolites are found in plants. The goal of the current study is to determine the antifungal efficacy of the methanolic extracts of Rosa indica and to determine the existence of secondary metabolites.
