Preliminary Phytochemical Screening of Medicinal
Plants used in Traditional Medicine
Fundamental screening of phytochemicals is a significant advance, in the location of the bioactive standards present in restorative plants and therefore may prompt medication disclosure and improvement. In the current examination, chief phytoconstituents of the six chose restorative plants of various families were distinguished so as to relate their essence with bioactivities of the plants.Screening of six chose therapeutic plants was performed for the presence of tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids, phlobatannins, starches, glycosides, coumarins, alkaloids, proteins, emodins, anthraquinones, anthocyanins and leucoanthocyanins utilizing standard strategies.All the chose restorative plants were found to contain tannins and flavonoids. In addition, terpenoids were additionally present in all the chose plants aside from P. dactylifera. but P. dactylifera. Then again, saponins and steroids were missing in all plants aside from S. chirata and phlobatannins were missing in all plants aside from R. sativus. Likewise, starches, glycosides and coumarins were available in all the chose plants aside from P. dactylifera and R. sativus. Alkaloids were available in all the chose plants aside from F. religiosa, P. dactylifera and R. sativus. Proteins were available just in F. religiosa and S. chirata. Though emodins, anthraquinones, anthocyanins and leucoanthocyanins were missing in all the chose six plants.It is evident from the study that S. chirata is of highest therapeutic efficacy possessing majority of phytochemical classes of compounds and P. dactylifera is of lowest therapeutic potential due to the absence of majority of phytoconstituents.
