In the present study, the ethanol extract of Artemisia vulgaris leaves and their phytochemical components determination, antioxidant properties and its antibacterial activity. The phytochemical screening analysis showed the presence of various bioactive compounds such as Proteins, phenol, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides and triterpenoids in ethanol extract of A. vulgaris. The plant extract and ascorbic acid comparatively tested different concentrations for scavenging activity of DPPH and reducing power activity. This study reveals that in percentage inhibition of the scavenging activity of DPPH (64.06%) by ethanol extract of A. vulgaris when compared with ascorbic acid (88%) at highest concentration (50 μg/ml) and the reducing power assay was result showed that the reducing power increases with the increase of concentration of both plant extract and ascorbic acid. In addition, we studied that low amount of ethanol extract of A. vulgaris inhibited activity of the bacterial microorganism. The ethanol extract of A. vulgaris was very successful in inhibiting growth of bacterial pathogens. Finally we conclude that the ethanol extract of A. vulgaris leaves has good antioxidant properties and antibacterial agents.
