This communication describes the in vitro anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidative evaluation results of the different extracts of leaves, stem and roots of Chrysanthimoides

monilifera subsp. rotundata (Asteraceae) for the first time.

Leaves, stem and roots of the plant were used for extraction by using distilled n-hexane, DCM, ethyl acetate and methanol. These fractions were tested for their in vitro anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidative activities using standard protocols like micro broth dilution method for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, DPPH radical scavenging and H2O2 scavenging activity methods for anti-oxidative activity.

The investigations resulted fractions with good anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidative activities which were tabulated.

Based on the results it was concluded that these fractions with good bioactivity may be further researched for the pure compounds.
