    (UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, 2015) Rabia Habib
    Medicinal plants are widely used by the traditional practitioners to cure different diseases due to their world-wide availability and fewer side effects. Melia azedarach L. belongs to the family Meliaceae which is a family of highly significant medicinal plants. Traditionally, different parts such as leaf, flower, seed, fruit, and young branches of M. azedarach have been used for the treatment of malaria, diabetes, purgative, cough, skin disease, and many more. Experiment and clinical studies prove that it has antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, anticancer, analgestic, antiulcer, antipyretic, antiplasmodial and male contraceptive properties. Thus the aim of this study was to explore the chemical profile of non-polar extract of M. azedarach leaves through GC-MS analysis, as well as to check the antimicrobial activity of this plant against different bacterial strain by using agar diffusion method.
