Preliminary screening of phytochemicals is a valuable step, in the detection of the bioactive principles present in medicinal plants and subsequently may lead to drug discovery and development. In the present study, chief phytoconstituents of the six selected medicinal plants of different families were identified in order to relate their presence with bioactivities of the plants. Screening of s...

Background and Purpose: This research aimed to investigate the in vivo acute oral toxicity of aqueous extract of Indigofera tinctoria L. in different doses in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups (n=5 for each group). Group I served as the control, and the other four groups received I. tinctoria (100, 250, 500, and 1000mg/kg body weight) for 1...

Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroid, terpenoid, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and cardie glycoside distribution in five medicinal plants belonging to different families were assessed and compared. The medicinal plants investigated were Asteracantha longifolia (L.) Nees, Psassiflora edulis Sims, Berberis tinctoria Lesch, Sphaeranthus indicus Linn, and Solanum trilobatum Linn. All the plants w...
