Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical Screening of Azadirachta indica Juss. Plant Parts

چکیده
Azadirachta indica which is commonly known as neem plant has one of the most promising medicinal properties having a wide spectrum biological activity. Fresh matured leaves, stem-bark and seeds A. (neem) were collected, air dried aqueous-extract was used to screen for some active chemical constituents. Phytochemicals parts extracted screened both qualitatively quantitatively. The screening carried out at Institute Agriculture Animal Science, Paklihawa Campus, Rupandehi in quest evaluate phytochemicals. Among qualitative tests done presence secondary metabolites; alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids found present all tested whereas steroids, polyphenols tannins only leaves stem-bark. Glycosides coumarins are absent parts. Quantitative also by using gravimetric method. Alkaloids with highest amount alkaloids obtained (12.8%) lowest (10.67%). Highest percentage revealed (13.8%) (12.8%). Similarly, (2.53%) contained saponins % while it (2.50 %). Terpenoids similar i.e. (13.13%), (12.77%). More research on metabolites will be helpful industries produce plant-based chemicals minimize environment degradation from different synthetic chemicals.

An Improved Genome Assembly of Azadirachta indica A. Juss.
Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.), an evergreen tree of the Meliaceae family, is known for its medicinal, cosmetic, pesticidal and insecticidal properties. We had previously sequenced and published the draft genome of a neem plant, using mainly short read sequencing data. In this report, we present an improved genome assembly generated using additional short reads from Illumina and long reads ...
متن کاملAnalysis of insecticidal Azadirachta indica A. Juss. fractions.
As a result of chemical investigation on the ethanolic extract of fresh fruit coatings of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (neem), twenty-seven compounds were identified in non-polar to less polar fractions which showed pesticidal activity determined by WHO method against Anopheles stephensi Liston. These identifications were basically made through GC-EIMS and were further supported by other spectro...

Nimonol (1), a tetranortriterpenoid isolated from the leaves of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae), upon photolysis undergoes both Diels-Alder and ene reactions with singlet oxygen at different sites leading to 14,15,20,21-diepoxy-23-nimonolactone (3), along with nimonolide (4), which have been well-characterised. The novelty of the reported reactions lies in hitherto unreported formation o...
