Related papers
Plants are sources of large amount of drugs comparising to different groups such as Antispasmodics, Emetics, Anticancer and Antibacterial etc. This present study reports three different solvents extracts and aqueous prepared from four Indian plants belonging to different families collected from Adhiyamaan Botanical Garden krishnagiri district Tamilnadu. The preliminary phytochemical screening was performed from these extracts for the presence of Alkaloids, Tannins, Saponins, Phlobatannins, Flavanoids and Terpenoids. Result shows that the content of plants are below the toxic level for man. The presence of Alkaloids, Tannins, Saponins, Phlobatannins, Flavanoids, and Terpenoids in all these plants investigation indicates that they could be used in the treatment of burns and wounds. Finally the high Alkaloid Flavonoids and Terpenoids content of the plants suggest their antioxidant potential and justifies their therapeutic action which could be used in drug formation.
Phytochemical Analysis and Antibacterial Properties of Some Selected Indian Medicinal Plants
2015
Since ancient times, different plants have been used as a source of medicines. A variety of drugs could be obtained from medicinal plants. About 80 % individuals from developing countries rely on plant based preparations used in their traditional medicinal system and as the basic needs for human primary health care (Ellof, 1998). Plants produce a diverse range of bioactive molecules, making them rich sources of different types of medicine (Nair et al., 2005). Mostly, these compounds are secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, resins, fatty acids, tannins and phenol compounds, etc. Compounds extracted from different parts of ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 4 Number 3 (2015) pp. 228-235 http://www.ijcmas.com

Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, 2020
Objective: To identify phytochemical screening and Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, Oral bacteria individually. To prepare the agar media plates for testing of different types of bacteria. Methods: Different types of plants are used for containing aqueous extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), Betel (Piper betle), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and Guava (Psidium guajava) was used for phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity against S.aureus, B. subtilus and E. coli bacteria and identification test of inhibition zone using with different concentration of extract were used (100 mg/ml).Results: Antibacterial activity of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Clove (Syzygium aromaticum), Betel (Piper betle), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Peppermint (Mentha piperita), and Guava (Psidium guajava) are used as an aqueous extraction of Crude drugs against S.aureus, E.coli and Subtilus. Conclusion: These result s...
PHYTOCHEMICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SELECTED PLANTS
Araucaria cookii, Bauhinia blakeana and Brassaia actinophylla are ornamental plants. The presence of various phytochemicals and pharmacologically important compounds in these plants can be exploited for their medicinal use. But there are no reports on the phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of these plants and this study aims at investigating these. The plant extracts were prepared in different solvents like methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, hexane, water and chloroform. Qualitative analysis of phytochemicals were assessed. The anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity was determined for all three plant extracts. Anti-bacterial activity against three gram negative bacteria, E. coli, Pseudomonas and Klebsiella was done and Araucaria cooki showed highest antibacterial activity among the three plants. Maximum antioxidant activity was seen in methanol extract of Brassaia actinophyla with 81% inhibition. The order of the antioxidant activity of the three plants are in the order B.actinophylla>A cookie>B.blakeana. The results of phytochemical analysis suggest that phytosteroids are present in all the three plants. Maximum inhibition against the tested enzymes was exhibited by hexane and chloroform extracts of A.cookii. Hemolytic activity was done and the hexane extract showed maximum haemolysis where as aqueous extracts showed minimum activity. From the results it is clear that the three plant extracts has pharmacological applications. This is the first report of antimicrobial, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of these three plant extracts. Further studies are needed to exploit the actual mechanism and active compounds of these plants.
Phytochemical Examination On Leaves Of Different Plants
Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research, 2020
A wide range of medicinal value is provided by the natural products which are obtained from different plants. The study of traditional medicinal plants and their therapeutic properties plays a very important role in chemistry of natural products. Due to the increasing therapeutic use of natural products interest in this area is also increasing. The focus of this work is on methodologies that include extraction, separation and identification of natural products. The work was carried out on extraction of Piper betle and Justicia gendarussa leaves by three different solvents and then the identification tests of the chemical constituents were done. Different techniques such as chromatography i.e. Column chromatography and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) as well as spectroscopic techniques were used for identification of compounds.
Phytochemical screening and Extraction: A Review
Plants are a source of large amount of drugs comprising to different groups such as antispasmodics, emetics, anti-cancer, antimicrobials etc. A large number of the plants are claimed to possess the antibiotic properties in the traditional system and are also used extensively by the tribal people worldwide. It is now believed that nature has given the cure of every disease in one way or another. Plants have been known to relieve various diseases in Ayurveda. Therefore, the researchers today are emphasizing on evaluation and characterization of various plants and plant constituents against a number of diseases based on their traditional claims of the plants given in Ayurveda. Extraction of the bioactive plant
Transstellar Journals, 2022
Medicinal plants are a gift of nature and the history of medicinal plants is very ancient. The value of medicinal drugs and their alkaloids are very effective against many human diseases. The drugs are synthetically prepared into the industries but the raw material of drugs can be obtained from various plant parts like stem, bark, roots, leaves, and other fibrous parts, etc. The pharma industries of drugs are very effective herbal drugs but they are very costly. The life of these drugs is not long when compared to herbal medicines. The human body is very sensitive to drugs and when any wrong drugs are applied to the body, then our immune system suppresses the drugs and produces a response against the drugs. The effectiveness of drugs and their specificities only on its targeting site take action upon it. The various microbial diseases can affect the human body by various modes of infection. The various techniques and methods are isolated medicinal drugs from medicinal plants.
IN VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CRUDE DRUGS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS
The prime purpose of this study was to screen out secondary metabolites and to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of crude powder of medicinal plants (viz. Pterocarpus santalinus, Curcuma aromatica, Aloe vera). Antimicrobial activity was also done in vitro by agar cup diffusion method by using ethanol and aqueous extracts of selected plant species against Bacillus subtilis bacteria,. Also preliminary secondary metabolite investigation of above plant extracts reveled that presence of Saponins, Tannins, Carbohydrates, Glycosides, Flavonids, Alkaloids, Phenolic compounds and Terpenoids. The present results provide preliminary details to further characterization of some pharmacognostical parameters of these crude drugs available in market.
