We aimed to study phytochemical screening and analgesic activity of ethanol extract of Oroxylum indicum. The dried powder of the barks of the plant was extracted with 95% ethanol and was subjected to various phytochemical tests to ascertain the principle constituents contained in the extract. The result revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides in the ethanol extract o...

A total of ten biological compounds were isolated from the leaves of Barleria montana Nees. by using GC-MS analysis. Among them, the Benzaldehyde,2-hydroxy-6-methyland Urs-12-en-24-oicacid,3-oxo-,methyl ester,(+)as major compounds. The aqueous and different solvent extracts (acetone, chloroform, di-chloromethane, ethanol and methanol) of the plant were tested for antibacterial activity against ...

The present study was aimed to develop the high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) finger print profile of methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of leaves of Cassia fistula. Chromatographic technique was used for separation of components from different extracts of leaves. This study was planned to develop a HPTLC fingerprint profile of extracts in different solvents such as petroleum e...

The use of traditional medicines and medicinal plants in most developing countries, as a normative basis for the maintenance of good health, has been widely observed. Laboratory evolutions were made to assess the phytochemical screening and quantification of primary metabolites in Alangium salviifolium. It contains higher soluble sugars in leaves, starch in stem, lipid in stem, phenol in leaves...

Background: Vidari (Pueraria tuberosa) has been used throughout ages as a tonic, rejuvenator and galactogogue. This was an analytical study carried out to authenticate raw drug Vidari. Aims: This study aims to determine the Phyto-chemistry of the Vidari tubers when collected as per the Ayurvedic Principles. Methods and Material: Vidari tubers were collected from akaashiya bhumi (~land predomina...

Background and objectives: Argyreia pilosa (Convolvulaceae) has been utilized for many aliments in the conventional system ethnomedicinally; most significantly against sexually transmitted diseases, skin troubles, diabetes, rheumatism, cough, and quinsy. The key challenge experienced in the standardization of herbal drugs is the correct identification of the plant sour...

BACKGROUND Scoparia dulcis Linn (Scrophulariaceae) together with other medicinal plants serve as antisickling remedies in Africa. This study was aimed at investigating the antisickling activity of the leaves of the plant as well as establishing the toxicological profile. METHOD Chemical tests were employed in phytochemical investigations. Evaluation of the antisickling activity involved the i...

Floral landscapes comprise diverse phytochemical combinations. Individual phytochemicals in floral nectar and pollen can reduce infection in bees and directly inhibit trypanosome parasites. However, gut parasites of generalist pollinators, which consume nectar and pollen from many plant species, are exposed to phytochemical combinations. Interactions between phytochemicals could augment or decr...

Enicostemma hyssopifolium, a useful medicinal herb was subjected to antimicrobial as well as phytochemical investigations. The petroleum ether, chloroform, n-Butanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of the whole plant of Enicostemma hyssopifolium were studied for in vitro antimicrobial activity against Human pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial potential of Enicostemma hyssopifolium agains...

Background and objectives: The genus Verbascum, with nearly 360 species, is one of the largest members of Schrophulariacea family. In the Flora of Iran, the genus Verbascum is represented by 43 species among them seventeen plants are endemic. Verbascum species are well known in folk medicine and are widely used for therapeutic purposes. Verbascum sublobatum Murb. grows wildly in north of Iran. ...
