Abstract

Fresh flowers of Acacia arabica willd were extracted with 80% alcohol and the concentrated extract was fractionated in the usual way. The ethyl acetate fraction was found to contain isoquercetin. The structure was characterized by UV, NMR, Paper Chromatographic and Chemical studies. The yellow pigment was found to contain promising results with respect to acute and chronic anti-inflammatory studies. It also showed considerable percentage protection of bacteriostatic effect on Bacillus subtilis, a gram positive organism.

 

Key words: Acacia arabica, phytochemical study, pharmacological investigation, anti-inflammatory study, bacteriostatic effect, Bacillus subtilis.
