Qualitative Phytochemical Screening of Nyctanthes Arbor Tristis and Murrayakoenigii L. Leaf Leaves Extract.

Abstract

Plant extracts offer potential for drug discovery due to their chemical diversity and potential for treating complex diseases. They contain phenolic compounds, alkaloids, diterpenoid, steroid, and other compounds that inhibit microorganism development. Phytochemicals in plant extracts can act as reducing agents in the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles. Medicinal plants, including seeds, root, leaf, fruit, bark, flowers, and whole plants, provide essential services for ecosystems and human health. A study on the phytochemical analysis of leaves of Nyctanthes arbor tristis L. Leaf and Murraya Koenigii L. Leaf revealed the presence of secondary metabolites such as saponins, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, terpenoids, gums & mucilages, protein, leucoanthocyanin, glycoside, gum and mucilage, and coumarin and phlobatannins.
