<title><b>Synergistic efficacy of three plant extracts, <i>bergeniaciliata, acoruscalamus</i> and <i>dioscoreabulbifera</i> for antimicrobial activity</b> </title>
<abstract>To evaluate the synergistic potency of three different plants namely rhizome of  lessThan i greaterThan Bergenia ciliata, Acorus calamus  lessThan /i greaterThan and tuber of  lessThan i greaterThan Dioscorea bulbifera  lessThan /i greaterThan in exhibiting the antibacterial activity, phytochemical evaluation and molecular docking analysis. 5mg/ml, Sample II and III acetone extract of plant mixture containing  lessThan i greaterThan A. calamus, B. ciliata  lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan D. bulbifera lessThan /i greaterThan  in the ratio 1:2:1 and 1:1:2 against  lessThan i greaterThan E. coli,  lessThan /i greaterThan showed 12mm and 13mm lessThan i greaterThan , P. aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan  showed 13mm and 16mm and  lessThan i greaterThan B. subtilis lessThan /i greaterThan  showed 23mm and 18mm zone of inhibition. To identify, the chemical compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity the acetone extract of sample II and III which was analysed using GC- lessThan i greaterThan MS and Molecular Docking lessThan /i greaterThan . Compared to other metabolites alpha.- (N,N-Dimethylamino)-3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyacetophenone and Cis-Asarone are most potent metabolites which has lowest docking score against the receptors at various degrees. The results will be useful for further design of novel cancer and microbial inhibitors derived from synergistic plant extract.</abstract>
