Abstract

There has been a lot of recent buzz about medicinal plants as a viable alternative to chemical treatments due to their inexpensive production costs and relative lack of adverse effects. However, phenolics and flavonoids derived from plants have many positive biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial actions; these compounds are very lucrative for the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals are harmful molecules that can be produced by cells in the human body. These molecules can harm live cells and lead to various clinical disorders. Discovering the bioactive components and antibacterial activities of Cordia myxa fractions is the main objective of the current work. The fruits that were picked were thoroughly rinsed with a combination of tap water and deionized water. The crop was harvested when it was still edible, then dried in the shade and pulverised into a powder. In preparation for the following tests, the fruit extract was diluted in an appropriate proportion of ethanol. Subsequent to extraction, all tests were carried out no later than 72 hours. As part of the preparation for FTIR analysis, Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ), Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ), were 675.09, 692.44, 738.74, 813.96, 974.05, 1008.77, 1049.28, 1093.64, 1232.51, 1276.88, 2922.16, 1276.88, 1606.70, 1647.21. Streptococcus pyogenes was significantly inhibited by the Cordia myxa metabolites (28.94 ±0.46).
