Annona squamosa seed extracts were studied for their phytochemical constituents, total phenolics and flavonoid contents. For this purpose different tests of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Annona squamosa were extracted and concentrated. The preliminary phytochemical screenings of Annona squamosa for its phytochemical constituents were performed using general...

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 leaf, root, and stem extracts of Brucea javanica were screened for phytochemical properties and antimalarial activity, after extractions with various organic solvents. Qualitative analysis of the phytochemical constituents showed the presence of the following secondary metabolites: terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and anthraquinones. The extracts s...

The new norisoprenoid 3beta-hydroxy-5alpha,6alpha-epoxy-beta-ionone-2alpha-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (1) and the long-chain hydroxy fatty acids 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadeca-10(E),15(Z)-dienoic acid (2) and 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadeca-10(E)-dienoic acid (3) were isolated from Salsola tetrandra aerial parts, together with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside (4), 9-hydroxylinaloyl glucoside ...

Repeated column chromatographic separation of the CH2Cl2 extract of Artemisia stolonifera (Asteraceae) led to the isolation of a triterpene (I), a sesquiterpene (II), two aromatic compounds (III and IV) and a benzoquinone (V). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic means to be simiarenol (I), (1S,7S)-1beta-hydroxygermacra-4(15),5,10(14)-triene (II), 3'-methoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-cinnam...

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...

Medicinal plants contain bioactive compounds which are used for treatment of various human diseases.Phytochemicals have two categories i.e., primary and secondary constituents.Secondary metabolites are responsible for medicinal activity of plants. The phytochemical analysis of total extracts in water, ethanol, methanol, chloroform, hexane and ether extracts of Scopariadulcis L.were investigated...
