Abstract

The discovery of novel bioactive phytochemicals is a key step in the possible production of new medications. The side effects of synthetic drugs lead us to recognize & isolate specific bioactive compounds with health benefits. Considering these recent developments this study specifically deals with analyzing the phytochemicals present in Root of Panax ginseng, flower of Nymphaea stellata, seeds of Mucuna pruriens, leaves of Syzygiumcumini and leaves of Aegle marmelos. The plant materials were collected & subjected to hydroalcoholic solvent for extraction. Further percentage yield & phytochemical studies were carried out on all the plant extracts. The results revealed that the percentage yield of different plant found to be vary slightly. In case of Nymphaea stellate&Aegle marmelos the extractive value was found to be7.80%&7.51% respectively. The lowest yield of 6.14% is observed in case of Mucuna pruriens. For Panax ginsengthe estimated yield came out to be 8.56%. The record of highest yield can be seen in case of Syzygiumcumini. The results of phytochemical study revealed the range of results. In case of P. ginseng extract almost all phytoconstituents were found to be present except alkaloid, tannin, proteins. Further N.stellate found to have components like alkaloid, flavonoid, diterpenes, Phenol& saponins. The M. pruriens also found to be laden with phytochemicals as all the test resulted positive except glycosides & tannins. The same was true with S. cumini as it is devoid of only alkaloid & Tannin. For A. marmelosextract alkaloid, flavonoid, phenol, protein, carbohydrate & saponin were found to be present. Thus, it can be concluded that all the studied plants have unique features & bioactive principles with therapeutic benefit.
