PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SOME IMPORTANT MEDICINAL PLANTS
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
