Abstract: Medicines made from plants have greatly benefited humanity by helping to treat bacterial diseases. In order to ensure safety and efficacy in the face of synthetic antibiotics' multidrug resistance, plants are now utilised in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture innovative drugs. The current work sought to determine the antibacterial and phytochemical screening capability of A. heterophyllus ethanolic extracts. The produced ethanolic extract (EE) underwent phytochemical analysis, which revealed the presence of terpenoids, amino acids, alkaloids, glycosides, phenolic, and flavonoids. The DPPH and ABTS techniques were used to determine the antioxidant content and antioxidant studies of the ethanolic extract (EAE) of the root bark of A. heterophyllus Lam. By calculating the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibition, the extract with the highest antioxidant property (EAE) was chosen for antibacterial investigations against bacterial strains. The findings of the research on antibacterial and antioxidant properties were encouraging.
