The separated compounds were identified based ontheir melting points, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral data, such compounds were acacetin,luteolin, b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, ursolic acid and betulinic acid. The antimicrobial activity ofchloroform and methanolic extract of seed powder was investigated. The methanolic extractexhibited marked antibacterial activity against gram positive, gram negative organisms andfungi.
