Investigation into phytochemicals from foods for disease prevention has increased substantially in the last few decades. However, a clear strategy on the selection of the most promising foods for research has been lacking. An ethnobotanical approach represents an effective method which may improve the outcomes of phytochemical research. Research on the health properties of native Australian pla...

Phyllanthus amarus (PA) is a small herb indigenous to Amazon Basin .It is well known for its medicinal properties and widely used by oriental countries. It is reported to contain lignans,alkaloids,flavonoids,galloatnoids ,glycosides and alkaloids. It possesses antiviral, antiparasitic, antimalarial, antimicrobial, anticancerous, anti-diabetic and anti-Cholesterol agents. It acts on kidney stone...

Numerous bioactive compounds and phytochemicals have been reported to be present Annona muricata (Soursop). Some of these chemical compounds have been linked to the ethnomedicinal properties of the plant and its antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to assess the proximate composition, phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant properties of A. muricata using standard bioch...

Abstract: Boerhavia diffusa (BD) and its other species have been assembled in this paper due to their enormous medicinal properties which hold tremendous influence on disease burden and affordability of health care. This paper enlightens mostly on the root part of this plant along with a number of bioactive rotenoid compounds and isolation of rotenoids from the roots of Boerhavia diffusa includ...

Background: The study was undertaken to determine the phytochemical screening and the antibacterial activities of Pistia stratiotes (water lettuce) against some clinically isolated fish pathogens. Methods: The healthy and disease free plants samples were collected from Jebba Upper Basin of River Niger and tested for their antibacterial activities and phytochemical properties. Pistia stratiotes ...

INTRODUCTION Dietary phytochemicals are found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains and may be categorised in a nested hierarchical manner with many hundred individual phytochemicals identified to date. To associate phytochemical intakes with positive health outcomes, a fundamental step is to accurately estimate the dietary phytochemical intake from foods reported. The purp...

The present study was to compare the Phytochemical and Antimicrobial analysis of W. somnifera and W. obtusifolia. In the Ethanolic leaf and root extract of Withania species were screened for phytochemical compounds by qualitative and FT-IR, UV method. Withania species have been used for remedies of human pathogen because they contain therapeutic compounds. This research work was mainly focused ...

Phytochemical investigation of the above-ground biomass of Asclepias sullivantii L. (Asclepiadaceae) afforded six new pregnane glycosides, named sullivantosides A-F (1–6). The structures of 1–6 were elucidated through a variety of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques (1D and 2D NMR; HRESIMS). To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first phytochemical study of this species....
