Present study aims to investigate phytochemical analysis as well as in vitro antimicrobial activity of crude aqueous, methanol, ethanol, chloroform and petroleum ether extracts from leaves of C. roseus. Antimicrobial activity of extract was studied against various bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium smegmatis). Qualitative preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed that alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, amino acid and cardiac glycosides are present in the extracts. The result for total phenol and flavonoids content was the highest in methanol and the lowest in petroleum ether crude extract. The study revealed that inhibition significantly depend upon the solvent used for extraction and bacterial strain tested for susceptibility. Aqueous extracts were found less efficient as compared to organic solvent. Methanolic extract were found more effective against tested microbes.

The present study was conducted to identify the phenols from methanol extracts (MHI) of medicinally and economically useful leaves of Holoptelea integrifolia (Roxb.) plant using High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPLC) technique. Preliminary phytochemical screening was done and HPTLC studies were carried out on CAMAG HPTLC system equipped with Linomat V applicator (Switzerland). Densitometric scanning was performed with Camag TLC scanner IV in the reflectance absorbance mode at 540 nm and operated by Win CATS software (1.4.6 Camag) with the help of tungsten lamp. Preliminary phytochemical screening of methanolic extract of Holoptelea integrifolia showed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, phenols and carbohydrates. HPT LC finger printing of phenols of methanolic extract of leaf revealed seven polyvalent phytoconstituents (7 peaks) and corresponding ascending order of Rf values in the range of 0.15 to 0.75. From the results of preliminary phytochemical analysis and above Rf values, we have concluded the presence of phenols in methanol extracts.

Abstract Medicinal plants have several therapeutic properties; they have been used for a long time to treat different diseases. Lantana camara L. has been widely used by man for healing these diseases. In this study, four leaves extracts of L. camara were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening to determine the presence and/or the absence of phytochemical constituents; In addition, they were tested for hemolytic activity on human erythrocytes. This activity is performed using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer method at 520 nm and at five different concentrations (125 µg/ml, 250 µg/ml, 500 µg/ml, 750 µg/ml, and 1000 µg/ml). The phytochemical screening showed the presence of various phytochemical groups such as phenolic compounds, saponins, sterols, tannins, flavonoids, reducing compounds and the absence of alkaloids in the four extracts. These same extracts showed average hemolytic activity sequentially: chloroformic extract, petroleum ether extract, aqueous extract and then methanolic extract. This activity is dependent on the concentration of the extract.
