The aqueous extract exhibits anxiolytic, analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Methanolic extract of leaves have antifungal and antibacterial activities. In this work different concentration shows as 100, 75, 50, 25% and under controlled gave inhibition zone as 9.33, 6.02, 4.48, 3.66 but controlled patriplaite full of microorganism
