Abstract:
Among the different parts of the words, medicinal plants are playing a veryessential role in health care services for the treatment of various diseases.According to WHO, 60% of the population of the world is dependent upon onfolk medicines and 80% population of developing countries is totally dependenton natural plants for herbal medicines. Herbs have been the major source of foodand medicine. Recently, different bio-active compounds like phenol, alkaloids,flavonoids, saponins, quinones, enzymes and triterpenes present in severalplants, have been the core of research due to their advantages for human health.The objective of current study is to investigate the various biological activities;anti-fungal, antibacterial, dye degradation and antioxidant assays of aqueousextract of plant species Astragalus anisacanthus collected from Dir Munda,Pakistan. The different functional moieties; C=C, C-H and N?O from the A.anisacanthus sourced methanol-, ethanol-, Ethyl acetate and n-hexane extractswere confirmed via FT-IR analyses. Further, our as prepared A. anisacanthusmediated extracts have shown promising bactericidal and fungicidal activities.The significant potential of our asynthesized crude extracts were recordedagainst methylene red dye. The A. anisacanthus sourced n-hexane illustratedhighest degradation potency of 94 % followed by 80.65 % Ethanol extract, 74% in Chloroform and 57.06 % by A. anisacanthus sourced methanol extract. Theanti-radicle activity demonstrated promising potentials of A. anisacanthusinspired methanol extract; DPPH: 81.34 µg/mL, TRP: 79.34 µg/mL, TAC:81.56 µg/mL. The future studies can fully harness the detailed therapeuticpotential of the bio-active compounds of A. anisacanthus.
