Abstract

Memecylon edule (Melastamataceae family) is a flower extract with botanical and phytochemical properties. The current work used a bioassay-guided isolation technique to examine the spectrum characterization, antibacterial activity antibiofilm from the memecylon module flowers. Plants used in traditional medicine are a great source for the discovery of novel therapeutic substances.  The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-microbial effects of an EtOAc extract of Memecylon edule. Furthermore, the compound's mode of action must be examined by extracting the extract and analyzing the active element that plays the most important function. Different spectrum analyses, including The functional groups in the extract of memecylon edule study were also identified by further UV, FT-IR, NMR, and GC-MS analysis, were used to determine the structure of the isolated chemical analysis. The findings of this study imply that bioactive chemicals can be used in the pharmaceutical sector to produce plant-based medications to treat illnesses caused by microbes.
