The study was carried out with the aim to determine the antimicrobial effect of ethanolic leaf extract of  Mitracarpus scaber against some clinical isolates. The leaves were screened for some phytocompounds using standard  analytical methods.The antimicrobial activity of the leaf extract against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans was carried out using agar well diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results of phytochemical studies revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, triterpenes, phytosterols, tannins, and saponins.

The efficacy of methanol leaf extract of Jatropha curcas was investigated through in-vitro assay against Trypanosoma brucei-brucei in 96 well micro-titer plates. Maceration method was used to obtain the leaf extract using absolute methanol.
