The study was aimed to evaluate preliminary phytochemical screening and in vitro anti microbial activities of Grewia tiliaefolia. The literature review reveals its usage in folk medicine in the tr eatment of rheumatism, vitia ted conditions of pita and kapha, burning sensation, hyperdipsia, pharyngopathy, cough, skin diseases, pruritis, wounds, ulcers, diarrhoea, hematemesis, epistaxis, haemorrhages, seminal weakness and general debility¹. The literature review reveals that no scientific systematic evaluation has been done in alcoholic extract; so, an attempt has been made to study anti- microbial activity. The aerial parts of the selected medicinal plant was chosen for the study. Further preliminary phytochemical screening indicates the presence of flavones, steroids, glycosides, sugars, alkaloids, quinines, phenols, tannins, saponins in methanolic extract. The methanol leaf extracts of Grewia tiliaefolia., showed significant antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas Aurignosa, Escherichia Feacalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhi A, Salmonella Typhi B, Vibrio cholera and Coagulase negative staphylococci . Signifiacant antifungal activity was seen against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, candida albicans and Fusarium verticillioides. Grewia tiliaefolia exhibits good activity and percentage inhibition as comparable to the standard.
