Discovery and development of new therapeutic agent is a continuing process in spite of the fact that, at present we have at our command of formidable array of modern drugs, the need to discover and invent new agents is genuine and urgent. A flavonoid was isolated from the benzene fraction of ethanolic leaves extract of Bridelia retusa (Euphorbiaceae) which was identified as Isoflavone by various chemical testing and spectral analysis. The fraction tested has been found to show strong antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria viz. S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, S. typhi, S. dysenterae and P. aeruginosa. The result correlates the claims of Ayurveda and that of tribals.
