Guggulsterone is a main active compound of gum guggul, which has commonly used as ant-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, muscle relaxing, anti-arthritic, hy-polipidemic, hypocholestrolemic and anti-obesity. In the present study, its antimicrobial activity of guggulsterone E and Z against five microorganisms i.e. Escherichia coli (Wild), E. Cole (DH5α), Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis were undertaken. Disc diffusion method was used for antimicrobial activity assessment of compound guggulsterone E and Z. The discs were impregnated with 100 and 200 µg per disc and exposed to culture bed of five test organism i.e. E. coli (Wild), E. coli (DH5α), M. luteus, S. aureus and B. subtilis. After 24 hours of incubation at 37 °C, it was observed that the guggulsterone E and Z did not show any inhibition zone against the all five test organisms.
