摘要

Lonar Lake Distinctive Saline Crater Lake Located in Maharashtra's Buldhana district, India, Crater Lake is encircled by thick woodlands containing numerous plants with medicinal properties. Passiflora foetida L. commonly known as stinking passion flower has been used as traditional medicine in treating diseases such as throat infection, giddiness, liver disorder, diarrhea, tumor, nervous disorder, anxiety, sleep disorders, skin infections, hysteria and asthma. The present study was carried out to assess phytoconstituents and in vitro pharmacological evaluation of Passiflora foetida L. The Ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of Passiflora foetida L. leaves were subjected to GC–MS analysis. The Ethyl acetate extracts yielded thirty-four phytochemical compounds, while the ethanol extracts revealed twenty-eight phytochemical compounds upon analysis. The compounds were identified by comparing their retention time and peak area with that of the literature and by interpretation of mass spectra. Using the agar disc diffusion method, antibacterial and antifungal properties were evaluated for extracts obtained using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol, methanol, and water as solvents. The phytoconstituents of Passiflora foetida L. may have other medicinal uses beyond its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, such as lowering the use of synthetic medications.
