Ten different medicinally important plants collected from Khaptad National Park were found to have high antimicrobial, cytotoxic
and high antioxidant properties. Among the samples P. edgeworthii were found to exhibit greatest antimicrobial properties with
ZOI-10 mm at 200 mg/ml extract concentration against S. aureus which is in accordance of their traditional uses. A. spectabilis were
found with highest cytotoxic property with LC50 value 6.14 ppm, among B. diffusa, T. foliolosum and E. strobilifera 13.59 ppm, 64.50
ppm, 223.46 ppm respectively. The high antioxidant properties observed in the plants E. strobilifera (5.46 µg per ml) using DPPH
bioassay method indicate their anticancer properties. A series of research is thought to be continued for the future which can lead for
the development of drugs.
