Traditional medicine also known as indigenous or folk medicine comprises medical knowledge systems that developed generations with in various societies before the era of modern medicine. In the present study deals with the phytochemical, antibacterial activity and GC-MS analysis of the medicinal plant Kalanchoe floribunda Wight & Arn. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these plants confirms ...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the phytochemical constitution and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of dried leaves of four medicinally important herbs Ocimum sanctum, Mentha spicata, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Spinacia oleracea utilized in our routine diet along with one medicinal important tree Gmelina arborea. Qualitative analysis of phytochemical constituents’ v...

objectives this study was designed to determine the chemical composition, in vitro antioxidant activity, and total phenol content of various extracts of s. chloroleuca. materials and methods dried aerial parts of the plant were crushed, then sequentially extracted with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. the fractions of s. chloroleuca were subjected to silica gel column chromatography and s...

achillea tenuifolia lam. (asteraceae) afforded a dichloromethane fraction from which three known compounds β-sitosterol (compound1), 5-hydroxy, 4',6,7– trimethoxy flavone (salvigenin compound 2), and methyl-gallate (compound 3) were isolated for the first time. the structure of isolated compounds was elucidated by different spectroscopic methods. applying the molar-ratio method, the comple...

Objective: Reactive oxygen species and free radicals generate oxidative stress in the living cells associated with number of chronic diseases. Current research is directed towards finding naturally occurring antioxidants of plant origin. Hence, this study was aimed to determine phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic seed extract of Trachyspermum a...

The present study was carried out to evaluate phytochemicals of pods of Leucaena leucocephala. The phytochemical analysis was performed using 50% ethanolic extracts of pods powder of Leucaena leucocephala. Quantitative analysis of phytochemicals like phenols, flavonoids and tannins was done. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, carbo...

Objectives: The present study was to study the phytochemical and antibacterial properties of Alternanthera brasiliana leaf extracts using three different solvents (hexane, chloroform and methanol) against human pathogenic microorganism. Methods: Preliminary phytochemical screening of leaf extracts (in different solvents) of A. brasiliana were qualitatively tested using standard procedures. Thin...

the species heracleum rawianum belongs to apiaceae, is one of the native species in iran. the leaves and fruits of heracleum rawianium are used traditionally in iran as flavouring agent and spice for food. in the present work, the extraction of aerial parts of this plant with acetone by maceration is described. our phytochemical analysis of the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of this pla...

Phytochemical study on the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Carpesium abrotanoides led to the isolation of two new sesquiterpene lactones, carabrolactone A (1) and carabrolactone B (2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis.
