Abstract :
Abstract The paper deals with the phytochemical screening, antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity of Celosia argentea. Flower and leaves using methanolic extract. The phytochemical analysis shows the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, tannins and glycosides in the leaf, flower, leaf + flower extracts. Celosia argentea methanolic extract of leaf + flower was most effective at 50µg /ml in terms of DPPH antioxidant activity, with a scavenging capability of roughly 90% compare to standard ascorbic acid 100%. Methanolic extract of Celosia argentea leaf + flower shows the maximum antibacterial activty found at 150μg. Methanolic extract of Celosia argentea leaf + flower extract showed inhibition for S. Aureus (16 mm) and E.Coli (17 mm ) respectively. The 50μg of Celosia argentea methanolic extract leaf + flower has demonstrated predominant activity against egg albumin and is almost more or less equivalent to conventional diclofenac medication.
