<title><b>Phytochemical screening and mic determination of different extracts of <i>ichnocarpus frutescens</i></b> </title>
<abstract>In response to the emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms, the discovery of novel and more efficient antimicrobial agents is primordial. The current study was aimed at determining the MIC values of Petroleumether, Hexane, Chloroform and Ethylacetate extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan Ichnocarpus frutescens  lessThan /i greaterThan (L). W.T. Aiton lessThan i greaterThan   lessThan /i greaterThan gainst  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan ,  lessThan i greaterThan Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Streptococcus pyogenes lessThan /i greaterThan . Phytochemical screening of the extracts was according to the described methods. Phytochemical screening of extracts reveals the presence of alkaloids, tannins, phenols and flavonoids. Flavonoids are absent in chloroform extract. Among all the tested extracts, ethyl acetate extract has shown the lowest MIC value. The MIC values of ethylacetate extract against  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis  lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan  Klebsiella pneumoniae  lessThan /i greaterThan were found to be 256µg/mL, 128µg/mL and 512µg/mL respectively. The results of present study give baseline information for therapeutic use of  lessThan i greaterThan Ichnocarpus frutescens. lessThan /i greaterThan </abstract>
