The phytochemical study of the aerial parts of Artemisia japonica ssp. littoricola (Asteraceae) led to the isolation of two acetylenic compounds, (3R)-dehydrofalcarinol (2) and (3R)-dehydrofalcarindiol (6), two sesquiterpenes, 1beta, 6alpha-dihydroxy-4(15)-eudesmene (5) and oplodiol (8), and four phenolic compounds, eugenol (1), vanillin (3), 3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-cinnamaldehyde (4) and p...

The present study was aimed to examine the phytochemical constituents present in Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees. The preliminary phytochemical constituents were qualitatively analyzed using the method described by Brindha et al. For GC-MS analysis, 10 g powdered sample is extracted with 30 mL ethanol overnight and filtered in ashless filter paper with sodium sulphate (2 g) and ...

Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroid, terpenoid, flavonoids, phlobatannin and cardie glycoside distribution in seven medicinal plants belonging to different families were assessed and compared. The medicinal plants investigated were Aegle marmelos, Cynodon dactylon, Eclipta prostrata, Moringa pterygosperma, Pongamia pinnata, Sida acuta and Tridax procumbens. The significance of the plants in t...

The traditional medicine involves the use of different plant extracts or the bioactive constituents. This type of study provides the health application at affordable cost. Secondary metabolites are responsible for medicinal activity of plants. Hence in the present study phytochemical screening of some important medicinal plants was carried out. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these plants...

In the objectives to know the phytochemical constituents in Triplochiton scleroxylon aqueous, ethanol (50%) stem bark extracts and powdered stem bark were subjected to preliminary phytochemical examinations. The phytochemical tests were conducted using standard methods of analysis. The results of analyzes reveal presence of the following phytochemicals: carbohydrate, saponins, tannins, steroids...

The present study deals with phytochemical and anthelmintic evaluation of corm of Amorphophallus campanulatus. This evaluation revealed the presence of many phytochemical constituents. Corm was extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol. Crude tannins were isolated from methanol extract. All extracts and crude tannins were evaluated for anthelmintic activity. Chloroform, methanol e...

This research was carried out to investigate the thrombolytic effects of the methanolic extracts of five Bangladeshi plants. Phytochemical metabolites of those plants have been identified to elucidate whether the plant-derived metabolites are linked with the thrombolytic effects. Potential computer aided models were adopted in this study to find out a structure-function correlation between the ...

Diabetes has been known since ages in Ayurveda by Shushruta. It is a chronic metabolic disorder which results in an increased cane of sugar in blood. In the present investigation phytochemical screening of pollens of some selected plants with known antidiabetic properties was carried out like Catheranthus roseus, Momordica charentia, Butea monosperma and Syzygium cuminii. As pollen is very impo...

Abstract—Boerhavia diffusa L. is a plant which is extensively used in folk medicine and little attention has been given to the characterization of secondary metabolites other than rotenoids and alkaloids. The present study was carried out to identify the phytochemical components of the plant using ethanolic, chloroform, petroleum ether and water extracts and to analyse the volatile composition ...
