Abstract
Since plants are used as therapeutic agents, the study was conducted to evaluate the second metabolites of Momordica charantia Linn’s extract and it’s antibacterial activities. Studies on the plant’s extract itself, 75% ethyl alcohol and sample free-disk as the control setups using Disc Agar Diffusion Method. The microorganism.used is Gram Negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The maximum activity was observed against the said bacteria. The minimum zone of inhibitory concentration ranged at 10mm on microorganism. As conducted, Momordica charantia L. was observed to have antibacterial activity and can be used as medicinal purposes.
