Abstract

Fagonia cretica L.belongs to Zygophyllaceae is having very important and significant Phytocemicals. The entire plant of Fagonia cretica L.was shade dried, and the powder was subjected to hydrodistillation to get essential oils. Later the oils were chemically analysed. It showed compounds among which 20 are identified and 23 are yet to be identified. Some dried powder was extracted with different polar and non polar solvents by using Soxhelt apparatus. The extracts thus obtained were tested for their antimicrobial activity by using disc diffusion and cup plate methods against various pathogens. The methanol extract showed prominent antimicrobial activity.

 Key words: Fagonia cretica L., Zygophyllaceae, antimicrobial activity, medicinal plants and Phytocemicals.
