a phytochemical screening of fifty five iranian plants belonging to 21 families was carried out. a qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed for the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids. the medicinal uses of these plants are also reported.

In the present study, we have phytochemically characterized 5 different abundant Aloe species, including Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f., using silylation followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry technique and compared the data using multivariate statistical analysis. The results demonstrated clear distinction of the overall phytochemical profile of A vera, highlighted by its divergent spatial a...

3 Department of Chemistry, Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, (India) ABSTRACT In the present study the effect of maceration and soxhlet extraction from plant leaves of Casearia tomentosa were compared for phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity using petroleum ether as solvent. The phytochemical screening was evaluated using standard protocols and the antioxidant ...

Phytochemical screening of solvent extracts from Callilepis laureola plant was studied. Methanol and water extracts, respectively, revealed that phytochemical constituents found in both extracts were phenolics and gums. Reducing sugars were only observed in water extract while phytosterols and flavanoids were only found in methanol extract. Other phytochemical constituents such as saponins, gly...

The present study deals with the antimicrobial activity and phytochemical screening of the two medicinal plants, Tinospora cordifolia and Euphorbia hirta those are commonly available in India. Results of antimicrobial activity revealed that these medicinal plant extracts were very effective against Serratia marcescens, E. coli, Streptococcus thermophilus, Fusarium oxysporium, Aspergillus niger ...
