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...

The preliminary phytochemical analysis of eight medicinal plants from Amravati District (MS) was done. The plants were Abutilon indicum L .(Swart)., Euphrbia hirta L., Ficus hispida L. f., Melia azedarch L., Phyllathus reticulatus Poir. ,Psidium guajava L., vitex negundo L., Vitex pinnata L. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these plants confirms the presence of various phytochemicals like ...

euphorbia wallichii a perennial herb growing mainly in himalayas has been widely used in folk medicines for its medicinal properties. in the present study, the crude methanolic root extract (cme) and its fractions; n-hexane fraction (nhf), n-butanol fraction (nbf), chloroform fraction (chf), ethyl acetate fraction (eaf) and aqueous fraction (aqf) of this plant specie were investigated for antio...

francoeuria undulata (l.) lack is often synonymous with two species of the genus pulicaria,i.e. pulicaria undulata (l.) c.a. mey and pulicaria crispa (forssk.) olive, which are oftenincluded under the genus francoeuria. the essential oil yield and compositions in the fivenatural populations of francoeuria undulata from fars province in southern iran weredetermined by gc and gc/ms analysis. the ...

Gnetum gnemon, latifolium and Cynometra malaccensis were collected from forest area, Stesen Penyelidikan UiTM-Perhilitan, Kuala Keniam, Taman Negara, Pahang. This project focussed on profiling con...

Abrus precatorius L. is a medicinal plant. The medicinal properties of the plants are determined by the presence of secondary metabolites (phytochemical constituents) in it. In the present study the phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity in the methanol extract of five parts (leaves, stem, flowers, seed coat and seeds) of A. precatorius was carried out to analyses the presence of phy...

Capparis sepiaria Linn. (Family: Capparidaceae) is a rare indigenous in South India but has widespread distribution in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. The present study intended with various phytochemical screening and toxicity studies were carried out on the leaves of the Capparis sepiaria. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation of the ethanolic extract of revealed that the presence of...

Objective: To investigate in vitro bioactivities of methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, hexane, ethanol and aqueous extracts of E. nummularius and its phytochemical analysis. Methods: The antioxidant activity was determined by measuring the scavenging activity of DPPH radicals and H2O2. Cytotoxic activity was tested against hep G2 cell lines using MTT assay. Antimicrobial activity was assessed...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the efficiency of seven Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) namely, Acaulospora deligata, Glomus aggregatum, G feugianum, G fasciculatum, G rubiforme, Gigaspora margarita, and Scutellospora heterogama collected from the rhizosphere soils of Wedilia chinensis (Osbeck) Merril. They were evaluated on the same host for improvement of phytoch...

Three varieties of Hibiscus sabdariffa were analyzed for their phytochemical content and inhibitory potential on carbohydrate-digesting enzymes as a basis for selecting a variety for wine production. The dark red variety was chosen as it was highest in phenolic content and an aqueous extract partially inhibited α-glucosidase (maltase), with delphinidin 3-O-sambubioside, cyanidin 3-O-sambubiosid...
