This study was designed based on phytochemical screening of aqueous and methanolic extracts of antimicrobial activity of Sphagneticola calendulacea L. leaves against clinical microbes. The preliminary phytochemical screening of the crude extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrate, glycosides, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, phenols, protein and triterpenoids. The phytochemical constituents of methanolic extract were studied through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Totally 16 phytocompounds were identified which include sterols, fatty acid and their methyl esters. The presence of bioactive constituents are studied the antimicrobial activity by well diffusion method.
