The aim of study was to determine the antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity of different extracts of leaves and stem of Manilkara zapota L. The parts of plant were extracted by using different solvents viz. Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol and water depending on their polarity. The antibacterial activity was carried out of four different extracts of leaves and stem against five organisms. Among three gram positive and two gram negative by agar well diffusion method. The antioxidant activity of four different extracts of leaves and stem was carried out by 2,2'-diphynyl, 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. Qualitative and Quantitative (Total phenol, total flavonoid, and crude alkaloid) analysis were also done in different extracts of stem and leaves.
