Phytochemical screening of Solanum nigrum L and S. seaforthianum Andr. of Rewa district (M.P.) India

Abstract

The present investigation designed to evaluate the phytochemical screening on leaf extract of Solanum nigrum L and S. seaforthianum Andr. From of Rewa districts (M.P.) India. Three study site were selected such as Chorhata, University campus and Govindgarh etc. The phytochemical constituents like alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoides and proteins of both species in dry and shady areas was investigated qualitatively. The results reveals that the protein is more abundant on Solanum nigrum L of shady areas than S. seaforthianum Andr. as comparatively of dry areas of three different districts of the same. Apart from protein, other phytochemical constituents such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoides are more or less presence in both species of the study areas. The study scientifically validates the use of both species in traditional medicine.
