Abstract

As per traditional uses by the Oran community of Sundargarh, Odisha, India, Boswellia serrata fruits are selected and subjected to phytochemical screening followed by antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pyogenes (MTCC 442). Results revealed that fruits have diverse secondary metabolites, and evaluation of MIC showed its antibacterial activities, which might be able to reduce the problems related to asthma. The study recommends doing more experimental work for formulating drugs against asthma.
