This research investigates the multifaceted role of phytochemicals in Vinca rosea, focusing on qualitative analysis and evaluating their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Phytochemical screening identified the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, highlighting the plant's diverse chemical profile. Antimicrobial assays revealed significant activity against Salmonella typhii and Staphylococcus aureus, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) indicating potent inhibitory effects. The antioxidant potential, assessed through DPPH radical scavenging assays, demonstrated a robust capability to neutralize free radicals, with an IC50 value indicative of the plant's effectiveness. These findings not only contribute to understanding Vinca rosea's phytochemical composition but also underscore its potential as a source of natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, encouraging further exploration for therapeutic applications.
