Antimicrobial and Cytogenetic studies on the effect of Ocimum sanctum on albino male mice
The present study was carried out to investigate the chemical analysis of Ocimum sanctum for different active compounds, and prepare methanolic and hexane extracts to determine their antimicrobial activity (in vitro). The cytogenetic effects of (methanolic and hexane extracts) as well as methotrexate (MTX) was evaluated in albino male mice (in vivo). The cytogenetic analyses were extended to include mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations. The study also tried to investigate the role of O.
