Stenosiphonium russellianum Nees. is rarely known species belongs to the family Acanthaceae and it is a shrub, found above 500m on slopes of mountain. It was traditionally used for wound healing in and as blood purifier. The current study designed to provide the requisite pharmacognostical and phytochemical properties of Stenosiphonium russellianum. Pharmacognostical studies like microscopic and macroscopic analysis of the leaves were carried out. Physiochemical parameter and preliminary phytochemical screening for secondary metabolite were also performed. Extracts were taken from nonpolar to polar solvants like hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, alcohol and water. Their extractive values are calculated. GCMS analysis of hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol extract of the leaves of Stenosiphonium russellianum were studied. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation showed the presence of alkaloids, phytosterols and glycosides. GCMS analysis revealed the presence compounds like lupeol, gamma sitosterol and stigmasterols. In conclusion, the information obtained from these studies can be used as markers in the identification and standardization of this plant as an herbal remedy and also towards further pharmacological activity estimation.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate antioxidant activity and phytochemical screening of ethanol extract, fractions of water, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane from mistletoe tea (Scurrula atropurpurea Bl. Dans).Methods: Simplicia extracted using soxhlet equipment with 96% ethanol. Fractionation was conducted using liquid-liquid extraction using a solvent of water, ethyl acetate and n-hexane. Screening of phytochemical and antioxidant activity was performed against these fractions. Antioxidant activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry with ascorbic acid as standard. Phytochemical screening was conducted based on the method of Farnsworth.Results: The IC50 values of ethanol extract, water fraction, fraction of ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fraction were 21.92 ppm, 89.57 ppm, 14.08 ppm, and 162.09 ppm, respectively, whereas for ascorbic acid was 4.41 ppm. The ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction contained compounds were the same group, polyphenolic, tannins, flavonoids, monoterpenoid, steroids, triterpenoids, and quinones. Fraction of water contained compounds such as polyphenolic group, flavonoids, monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, steroids, and triterpenoids. n-hexane fraction compounds contained steroids and triterpenoids.Conclusion: The ethanol extract, water fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and n-hexane fraction showed antioxidant activities. The ethanol extract, fractions of water, and ethyl acetate fraction contained flavonoids and polyphenolic potential as antioxidants.Keywords: Mistletoe tea, Scurrula atropurpurea, Antioxidant, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Ascorbic acid.

Macaranga bancana (Euphorbiaceae) known as “mahang” which is wide spread in Indragiri Hulu, Riau Province and also believed to has medicinal properties. This study to evaluate the secondary metabolites contents and toxicity activity from various extracts of M. bancana leaves. Extraction process were done by using maceration method with various solvents, such as n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and ethanol. Toxicity analysis was done by Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The results of phytochemical screening showed that M. bancana leaves contain terpenoid, steroid, flavonoid and phenolic. Toxicity analysis showed that n-hexane extracts prossessed the highest level of toxicity followed by dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts with LC50 value of 65; 87; 227; 605 μg/mL, respectively while ethanol extract has not toxic. Therefore, it could be concluded that M. bancana has good toxicity level and could be used as screening for anticancer.

The shade-dried plant root powder was extracted with solvents using Soxhlet extractor. The phytochemical compounds were investigated using PerkinElmer GC-MS, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Willey 8 library.Results: Maximum % area is found for stigmasta-5,22-dien-3-ol and present in maximum amount (12.68%) with reaction time (RT)=36.461 minutes in the methanolic extract. 1,2,3-propanetriol, 1-acetate is present in maximum amount (13.15%) with RT=6.582 minutes in the ethyl acetate extract. Tetracontane is present in maximum amount (16.70%) with RT=18.744 minutes in the hexane extract of root of C. ciliaris L.Conclusions: Green plants synthesize and preserve a variety of biochemical compounds. Plant secondary metabolites are commercially important and are used by pharmaceutical industry as well as the traditional practitioners. The GC-MS study helps to predict the formula and structure of phytoconstituents that can be used for drug design, and further investigation may lead to the development of various drug formulations.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate brine shrimp lethality of Blighia sapida stem-bark extract and its fractions and identify the bioactive constituents in the ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. Methods: The ethanol extract (EE) and its fractions were subjected to lethality assay, and GC-MS analysis of EAF was carried out. Results: The lethality test showed a concentration-dependent mortality rate in the brine shrimp nauplii for the EE and its fractions. GC-MS analysis of EAF of the extract revealed the existence of 13 peaks of the GC-MS chromatogram with only one prominent compound, n-hexadecanoic acid (peak area of 10.13%). Conclusion: The result revealed the presence of 13 bioactive components in the EAF of the extract, the majority of which have been reported for different biological activities, hence, justifies the use of the plant in the treatment and management of different diseases ethnomedicinally.
