Abstract

This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of Aegle marmelos, a plant species used by traditional healers in Adilabad District, Telangana region. The different parts of A. marmelos, including leaves, fruits, and bark, were collected, dried, and powdered. The powdered samples were then soaked in methanol and filtered, and the filtrate was reduced by a rotary evaporator. The phytochemical analysis of the leaves of A. marmelos was conducted using typical methods to determine the presence or absence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides, phytosterols, and phenols. The analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, glycosides, phenols, and flavonoids in A. marmelos. These phytochemicals are known for their antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-allergic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The identified phytochemicals play a crucial role in determining the medicinal properties of the studied plants. The presence of these bioactive compounds in the plants contributes to their significant healing potential. However, further research is needed to determine the specific types and quantities of these compounds in A. marmelos, as well as their potential health benefits and therapeutic applications. The findings of this study will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the therapeutic potential of A. marmelos and may have implications for the development of new drugs and therapies
