Phytochemical Screening of a Vended Antimalarial: Malatreat
Journal Title: Indo Global Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Malatreat is marketed by Paxherbals as a multi-component antimalarial preparation made from Alstonia boonei, Sida acuta and Tridax procumbens . Phytochemical screening of hexane and ethanol extracts obtained by infusion revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones, steroids, flavonoids, phlobatannins, glycosides and cardiac glycosides. These secondary metabolites are also known to be present in the constituent plants which are variously used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of malaria fever. This study reveals that qualitatively the formulation maintains the active metabolites present in the constituent plants. © 2011 IGJPS. All rights reserved.
