Abstract

Citrullus Lanatus is a medicinal plant with therapeutic potential, belongs to the family Cucurbitaceous, also known as, watermelon and is known for its anti-bacterial activity [1]. Recently, many biological activities of Citrullus Lanatus L. seeds have been reported, including traditionally, said to be medicinal because it can relieve inflammation irritation causes increased passing of urine and gives tonic effects and also cucurbit pepo (pumpkin), Citrullus Colocynths (bitter cucumber), among from that I have been taken Citrullus Lanatus seed (watermelon) is one of most effective and potential anti-bacterial activity, particularly in its seed [2]. The result of antibacterial activity indicate that effects of Citrullus Lanatas seed extract were tested on phytochemical, results showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, corticoids, saponins and tannins in the extracts of Citrullus Lanatas. Among that results shows alkaloids and flavonoids were most effective compounds for the antibacterial activity in higher plants. Apart from that saponins show the most responsible and effectively compound for antibacterial activity of Citrullus Lanatas. In this study, two solvents were taken chloroform seed extracts and acetone seed extract from Citrullus Lanatus L. have been tested for Anti-bacterial activity [3]. The antibacterial activity of the extract was examined against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative bacteria by measuring the zone of inhibition. Results showed acetone extract was increased linearly increasing different concentration of extracts (25 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, 75 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml) against two pathogenic strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus), by disc diffusion method, as compared with standard drug such as ciprofloxacin and control as acetone, the antibacterial activity of acetone was good. All the two organisms used for screening have the similar sensitivity.
