In this research work, the bark of Avocado
was collected from Pyin Oo Lwin Township, Mandalay
Region. The collected sample was tested by
phytochemical screening which gives positive for
alkaloid, flavonoid, polyphenol, sterol, terpene,
glycoside, saponin, and sugar tests. Moreover, the
antimicrobial activities of the bark of Avocado was
tested by Agar-well diffusion method on six tested
organisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococus
aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus pumilus,
Candida albicans and E-coli respectively. The
ethylacetate extract of the bark of Avocado responds
high activity on four tested organisms. In addition,
organic compound was isolated from the bark of
avocado by using thin layer and Column
Chromatographic methods. Pure compound (yellow
needle like crystal, 0.1755 mg, 0.65% based upon the
EtOAc extract) was obtained from the Column
Chromatographic technique. The functional groups
present in isolated compound were identified by FT-IR
spectral data.
