Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as Bermuda grass, has been extensively studied for its phytochemical and pharmacological properties. This study investigates the presence of various phytochemicals and evaluates the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of C. dactylon extracts. Phytochemical assays revealed high concentrations of proteins and reducing sugars, moderate concentrations of alkaloids and glycosides, and low concentrations of triterpenoids, steroids, tannins, and saponins. The antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging, nitric oxide radical inhibition, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays, with IC50 values of 308 ± 1.05 µg/ml, 180 ± 1.34 µg/ml, and 600 ± 0.875 µg/ml, respectively. Although less potent than ascorbic acid, the extract demonstrated significant antioxidant potential. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli showed a zone of inhibition of 17 mm, comparable to the standard antibiotic neomycin's 19 mm. These findings suggest that C. dactylon possesses notable antioxidant and antibacterial properties, supporting its traditional medicinal use and highlighting its potential for developing natural therapeutic agents. Further research is needed to isolate specific bioactive compounds and elucidate their mechanisms of action.
