Reinwardtia indica, belongs to family Linaceae known as yellow flax or pyoli commonly found in the Himalaya. The plant has varied ethno medicinal importance such as aerial parts are used to prevent bleeding of cuts and as mouthwash; leaves are used in the treatment of paralysis and as natural antibiotic. Qualitative phytochemical screening of chloroform, acetone, ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts was performed to explore scientific basis of ethno medicinal potential. It confirmed the presence of many phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavanoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, phlobatanins etc. in various extracts. Most of the phytochemicals were found in methanol and ethanol extracts. Thin Layer chromatography (TLC) of the acetone, methanol, chloroform and aqueous extract was performed for four important phytochemicals alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins and phenol. Flavanoids showed their presence in all extracts with one spot in each (Rf 0.8 for acetone, 0.918 for methanol, 0.816 for chloroform and 0.737 for aqueous extract). Alkaloids and tannins were found in acetone and methanol extract while phenol was present only in methanol extract (Rf 0.8). These findings provided the evidence that Reinwardtia indica is a potent source for some medicinally important phytochemicals and it justifies its use as a medicinal plant. This can be further investigated for the isolation and identification of active biochemical compound of medicinal utilities

Aim: This study investigated the phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant properties of methanol and aqueous leaf extracts of Geophila obvallata using standard methods. Materials and Methods: The in vitro antioxidant assays carried out were 1, 1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability, Nitric oxide (NO•) radical scavenging activity assay, 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS•+) radical cation scavenging assay, ferric reducing properties and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. Results: Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, steroids, saponins, terpernoids and cardiac glycosides in both extracts. Relative to the aqueous extract, the methanol extract contained a higher amount of the secondary metabolites. However, both extracts exhibited appreciable and dose-dependent capacities for quenching DPPH, ABTS•+ and NO• free radicals, and potent ferric reducing ability to levels comparable to those of ascorbic acid. The crude methanol extract showed significantly increased (P<0.05) antioxidant activity than the aqueous extract. Conclusion: It was concluded that the extract possesses strong antioxidant properties due to its content of phytochemicals, and provides scientific basis for its ethno medicinal applications.

A study has been conducted on the isolation and identification of secondary metabolite compounds from methorol extract of kelor leaf (Moringa oleifera Lamk.). This study aims to isolate and identify secondary metabolite compounds from leaf kelur methanol extract. Moringa leaf was macerated with methanol and obtained a yield of 16.7% methanol extract. The extract of methanol separated by column chromatography yielded 272 fractions. The fraction was purified and analyzed by thin layer chromatography using eluent n-hexane: ethyl acetate (7: 3) and obtained stain spots with Rf (0.61) and (0.47). Phytochemical results of positive isolates on flavonoids test. The results of identification using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and infrared spectrophotometry is a flavonoid compound. The identification using UV-Vis spectrophotometry yields I absorbing bands at 250 nm wavelength. The absorption at 250 nm wavelength is suspected because of the non-bonding electron transition to the σ anti-bonding orbital (n → σ *) by an unconjugated ausochrome suspected to be a hydroxyl functional (OH) group. Identification using infrared (IR) spectrophotometry showed the presence of a bound OH function group, C = O, C = C aromatic, C-H aliphatic, C -O alcohol and = C-H aromatic. Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang isolasi dan identifikasi senyawa metabolit sekunder dari ekstrak metanol daun kelor (Moringa oleifera Lamk.). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi senyawa metabolit sekunder dari ekstrak metanol daun kelor. Daun kelor dimaserasi dengan metanol dan diperoleh rendemen ekstrak metanol 16,7%. Ekstrak metanol dipisahkan dengan kromatografi kolom menghasilkan 272 fraksi. Fraksi dimurnikan dan dianalisis dengan kromatografi lapis tipis menggunakan eluen n-heksan:etil asetat (7:3) dan diperoleh bercak noda dengan Rf (0,61) dan (0,47). Hasil uji fitokimia isolat positif terhadap uji flavonoid. Hasil identifikasi mengunakan spektrofotometri UV-Vis dan spektrofotometri inframerah merupakan senyawa flavonoid. Identifikasi menggunakan spektrofotometri UV-Vis menghasilkan I pita yang menyerap pada panjang gelombang 250 nm. Serapan pada panjang gelombang 250 nm di duga karena adanya transisi elektron yang tidak berikatan ke orbital σ anti-ikatan (n→σ*) oleh suatu ausokrom yang tidak terkonjugasi yang diduga merupakan gugus fungsional hidroksil (OH). Identifikasi menggunakan spektrofotometri inframerah (IR) menunjukkan adanya gugus fungsi OH terikat, C=O, C=C aromatik, C-H alifatik, C−O alkohol dan =C-H aromatik.

Turnera diffusa WILLD is a plant used in folk medicine as a natural stimulant, and the objective of this research is to perform the phytochemical analysis of the secondary metabolites of the damiana of occurrence in the Juazeiro region, northern Bahia - Brazil. A phytochemical screening was performed from three Crude Ethanol Extracts (BSE), EEB1: leaves and flowers; EEB2: stems and EEB3: root. A thin analytical layer chromatography was performed using specific developers to detect each chemical class. Alkaloids, coumarins, anthranic derivatives, phenolic compounds, mono, sequi and diterpenes, naphthoquinones, triterpenes and steroids, saponins, hydrolyzed tannins and xanthines were identified in the three extracts. Only in the BSE of leaves and flowers observed the presence of antroquinones and aglycones. The secondary metabolites identified in the study evidence the pharmacological potential of Turnera diffusa. Phytochemical screening concluded the presence of fourteen classes of secondary metabolites in damiana, indicating important medicinal potential with pharmacological effects reported in the literature.

Summary Prunella vulgaris ( Labiatae family) or self-heal is traditionally used for different ailments such as eye pain and inflammation, headache, dizziness, sore throat and wound healing. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of extracts (methanol, ethanol and aqueous) were determined by a spectrophotometer. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by micro broth dilution assay. The total phenolic content of P. vulgaris extracts were higher in aqueous extract (156.5 mg GAC/g) followed by ethanol extract and methanol extract. The TFC content of P. vulgaris methanol extract (82.8 mg QE/g) was higher than ethanol extract (22.7 mg QE/g) and aqueous extract (16.2 mg QE/g). The antimicrobial activity of methanol or ethanol extracts was higher than aqueous extract from P. vulgaris. The sensitivity of microorganisms to different extracts is related to type of pathogens. There is no positive relation between total phenolic content and its antimicrobial activity. Prunella vulgaris ethanolic extract as a source of phenolic and flavonoid contents can be used as an antimicrobial agent.

The present study evaluated the phytochemical composition, anti-microbial activity of methanol and aqueous extract of Tectona grandis leaf, and characterized the extracts using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Methods: The phytochemical, anti-microbial activity thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis was conducted using established protocols. Results: The results revealed that the methanol extract of teak plant leaves contains steroids, tannins, saponin, coumarin, protein, carbohydrates, alkaloids, diterpenes, phytosterol, phlobatannin while the aqueous extract contains tannins, saponin, coumarin, protein, carbohydrate, alkaloid, diterpenes, phytosterol, and phlobatannins. The methanol extract of Tectona grandis showed the highest activity on S. epidermasis (14mm) and against S.aureus (10mm) at a concentration of 40mg/ml followed by the activities of aqueous extract of teak plant leaf against Candida Albicans (8mm) at a concentration of 40mg/ml. The extract had no inhibitory effect at all other concentrations. Conclusion: The result confirmed that Tectona grandis contain several bioactive phytochemicals that can be explored for the treatment of pathogenic microorganism.
