Periliminary phytochemical analysis of Alangium salviifolium ethyl acetate, ethanol and petrolium ether extracts

Abstract

Medicinal plants contain various bioactive compounds that are of great importance for individual and community health. The present study was carried out to determine the phytochemical constituents and thin layer chromatography profile of Alangium salviifolium seed extracts. Alangium salviifolium is an Indian medicinal plant with a wide variety of medicinal plant species. Phytochemical screening was performed using different qualitative methods and TLC profiling was performed using different solvent systems of different polarity. The qualitative phytochemical determination by chemical assay reflects the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, phenol terpenoids. TLC profiling of these plants was carried out using different solvents of Alangium salviifolium plant seed extracts and showed different Rf values. The results of the present study suggest that the plant Alangium salviifolium seed is a rich source of various plant secondary metabolites. These can be successfully researched further for the isolation and identification of active biochemical substances with curative properties.
