In recent years, researchers hunt for a novel anticancer agent mainly from plants. Phytochemicals and ubiquitous bioactive compound plays an important role in drug development. Among various phytochemicals, polyphenols have attracted considerable interest in the past few years due to their potential health benefits. One such phytochemical namely Coumarin (1,2-benzopyrone), a phenolic compound d...

Medicinal plants have been used extensively as a source for numerous bioactive constituents for treating human diseases [1]. There are number of phytochemicals that are present in many medicinal plant products and showed its prophylactic as well as therapeutic value [2,3]. These are widely used in the veterinary, agriculture, scientific research etc. Out of these phytochemicals, saponins are ge...

Small fruit are rich in several types of phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. These compounds have health functional properties that may protect humans from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Several of these phytochemicals, such as dietary fiber, anthocyanins, and polyphenolics, also contribute to small fruit quality. Other components contribute to appearance and taste. Nonvolatile...

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) has high demand in the world market due to wide range of applications. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) has various range of biological properties. In the present study, an attempt was made to identify the phytochemicals present in the CNSL using solvent extract method. Antifungal activity of acetone, ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts on A. flavus, A. fumigatus...

This review examines the discovery of naturally occurring phytochemicals antagonistic toward plant-parasitic and other nematodes. Higher plants have yielded a broad spectrum of active compounds, including polythienyls, isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, cyanogenic glycosides, polyacetylenes, alkaloids, lipids, terpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, quassinoids, steroids, triterpenoids, simpl...
