Popis:	The present study was performed to screen antibacterial, antifungal and radical scavenging efficacy of leaf and flower extract of Aristoochia indica Linn. Antibacterial and antifungal activity was evaluated by agar well diffusion and poisoned food technique respectively. Radical scavenging potential was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Overall, Leaf extract and flower extract displayed stronger antibacterial and antifungal activity respectively. Leaf extract was found to scavenge DPPH radicals more effectively when compared to flower extract. In suitable form, the plant can be used against microbial infections and oxidative stress.
