Abstract :

Need of the study: Phytochemical screening is important because it helps to identify bioactive compounds in plants that can be used to develop drugs or dietary supplements for humans as well as for animals.
Objectives: Now a day’s research on herbal medicinal plants is increasingly published in many journals because of their no side effects or minimum side effects. The valuable medicinal properties of different plants are due to presence of several constituents i.e. Saponins, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, glyco-alkaloids, flavonoids, sesquiterpenes lactones, terpenoides etc. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to identify the chemical constituents present in selected herbal plants. (i.e, Echinops echinatus, Tabernaemontana divaricata, and Portulaca quadrifida) by performing chemical tests.
Methods: Selected three traditionally used herbs from India (i.e, Echinops echinatus, Tabernaemontana divaricata, and Portulaca quadrifida) were collected from local field of Gulbarga (Karnataka) India. The methanolic extract was prepared as per literature, and various phytochemical screening was done.
Results: Secondary metabolites like Saponins, Phenolic compounds and Flavonoids are present abundantly in methanolic extract than in other extracts.
Conclusion: Our studies suggests that the selected polyherbal plants contains medicinally important secondary metabolites which has disease protective properties. This study will help into the development of some stable, biologically active compounds which can be employed in the formulation of many pharmacological activities.
Keywords: Polyherbal, Metabolites, Phytochemical screening.
