The present investigations were undertaken to validate the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of the plant Basella alba. This methanolic extracts of Basella alba whole plant was analyzed for phytochemical constituents, antioxidant assays (DPPH, Reducing power and Hydrogen peroxide) and tested for inhibition against membrane stabilization protein and proteinase denaturation. The sample exhibited higher potential against the free radial especially the activity to scavenge the DPPH radical was found to be high as compared against reducing power and hydrogen peroxide assay. In vitro anti-inflammatory assays resulted in providing the strong inhibition against the protein and proteinase denaturation, when compared to the reference drugs Diclofenac in terms of activity. The extract exhibited excellent antimicrobial against bacteria and fungus using the agar well diffusion method which proves the plant besides provides activity against inflammation and oxidative stress can also effectively fight against the microorganism. Thus, Basella alba whole plant can act as agents for treating inflammatory conditions and infections hence it can be utilized more effectively in pharmaceutical industries.
