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...

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...

Mistletoe is collected wildly on various plants and Phragmanthera incana is noted to grow on different plant hosts. This study was designed to carry out the ethnobotanical survey, phytochemical and mineral analyses of Phragmanthera incana, a species of mistletoe growing on three plant hosts namely Cocoa (Theobroma cacao), Kolanut (Cola nitida) and Bush mango (Irvingia gabonensis). Mistletoe sam...

AIM To evaluate the phytochemical constituents and the aphrodisiac potential of the aqueous extract of Fadogia agrestis (Rubiaceae) stem in male albino rats. METHODS The aqueous stem extract of the plant was screened for phytochemical constituents. Male rats were orally dosed with 18 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg body weight, respectively, of the extract at 24 h intervals and their sexual beh...

Samples of two spice plants; Aframomum melegueta and Piper guineese were analyzed for phytochemical composition. The result of the phytochemical screening of the two seeds reveals the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponin, steroids, cardiac glycosides and terpenes. The percentage of alkaloids in Aframomum melegueta 2.17% was higher than that in Piper guineense which contained 1.67...

Objective: To objective of this work was to perform phytochemical qualitative and quantitative analyzes of the main secondary metabolites in the root of Berberis microphylla. Methods: The extracts of B. microphylla root were tested through phytochemical screening and the quantification of the most important constituents was carried out using spectrophotometric and gravimetric techniques. Result...

The chemical compositions, nutrients and mineral compositions of Origanum vulgare have been analyzed . results indicated that the inatial contents by using different solvent contens were flavonoids, glycoside ,sterols, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins saponins quantitative , Flavonids, sterols, tannin, phenlic saponin alkaloids [(14.66±245.7 mg / 100gm), (197.71±11.89mg/100gm), (109.09±5....

Astragalus glycyphyllos is a widely distributed plant found in Bulgaria that has been used the folk medicine of country for decades as an antihypertensive, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory. This review article focused on traditional usage, phytochemical studies, pharmacological activity, biotechnology this species. Recent progress investigation led to identification different flavonoids, triterp...

Leaves of Ficus tsiela were extracted with different solvents and evaluated the phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity. The presence of biological constituents namely terpenoids, tannins, steroids, anthraquinones, flavonoids, saponins, cardiac glycosides and phlobatannin were confirmed through preliminary phytochemical analysis. Alkaloid was absent in all the extracts treated with di...
