The inhibitory activity was tested spectrophotometrically using quercetin as positive control. Eleven species belonging to 11 families displayed varying inhibitory activities. &lt;em&gt;Commelina diffusa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Euphorbia hirta&lt;/em&gt; showed the highest inhibitory activity at 51.3% and 48.5%, respectively.
