Medicinal plants are the best source to obtain a variety of herbal drugs. Mankind owes its existence to plant life to a great
extent. The use of plants as food, clothing, ornaments, transport, shelter etc. had been known since the beginning of time.
For a long period of time, plants have also served as a valuable source of natural products for treatment of various infectious
diseases and maintaining human health. A large portion of the world’s population, especially in developing countries, still
depends on the traditional systemof medicine.The present investigation aims to study the antimicrobial activity and antioxidant
activity of commonly used plants in unani medicine. The plants undertaken study includes Lallemantia royleana, Rosa indica
and Solanum nigrum. The plant parts studied include the seeds of Lallemantia royleana, the petals of Rosa indica and the
berries or fruit of Solanum nigrum. The plant extracts were prepared using organic and inorganic solvent. The in-vitro efficacy
of selected promising plant extracts and their fractions against different drug resistant enteric bacteria was performed. The
phytochemical analysis of biologically most active plant extracts and fractions was also performed and the phytoconstituents
are estimated qualitatively and quantitatively. The plant extract showed promising antimicrobial and antioxidant activity,
therefore, can be evaluated for isolation of bioactive natural products. This may serve as leads in the progress of development
of fresh pharmaceuticals addressing to the unmet therapeutic requirements for better health.
