Abstract
Lawsonia inermis L. also known as Henna occurs all over Indian Sub Continent. Traditional practitioners widely used the seeds, fruit and stem bark of this plant in treatment of Skin disease. The ethanol extract of fruit has been used to study activity against Fungal isolates Candida albicans, Microsporum audouinii, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and the bacterial isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus pumilus by disc diffusion method (Zone of Inhibition in mm at 100 µg / disc). It has been reported that fruit extract inhibited the growth of fungus Trichophyton rubrum and bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. GC-MS analysis of ethanol extract of fruit of Lawsonia inermis revealed the presence of four chemical compounds i.e. N-Hexadecanoic acid, 9,12-Octadecanoic acid (Z, Z), 4, 4, 6a, 6b, 8a, 11, 11, 14b- Octamethyl 1, 4, 4a, 5, 6, 6a, 6b, 7, 8, 8a, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 14a,14b- octadecahydro- 2Hpicen- 3- one, 12-Oleanen-3-yl acetate, (3a)-.
