The medicinal potential of medicinal plants is a well-known phenomenon from centuries. This review article is focus on the phytochemical, pharmacological, and microbial activity of three medicinal plants as Achyranthes aspera (Amaranthaceae), Ficus glomerata (Moraceae) and Leucas aspera ( Lamiaceae).its is rich sourse of bioactive compounds as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenolic compounds, and terpenoids. Its Various pharmacological activities have been reported as Hepatoprotective and antioxident property DNA Damage protective activity immunomodulatory activity Antifungal activity Antimicrobial activity Antinociceptive activity antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. for the antimicrobial activity 80% methenol is use . in which use , E.Coli, K.pneumoniae and S.typhi bacteria.
