Phytochemical components of Barleria cuspidata leaves extract were detected in aqueous, methanol, ethanol and acetone extracts, and their antibacterial activity was tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter aerogenes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhimurium. There were anthraquinones, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, glycosides, and phenolic compounds detected in the acetone extract; however, the methanol and ethanol extracts had a slightly higher antibacterial activity than aqueous extract. Various extracts of leaves of Barleria cuspidata are showing antibacterial properties which will lead to the development of some compounds that could be used to develop new and more effective natural antimicrobials. The active constituents of these plants considered to be responsible for their antibacterial properties are still being isolated and identified.
