Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Plants are the "old companion" of humankind. Without plants there would be no people on Earth. A huge extent of the world's population relies on upon conventional prescription. Cassia L. is a huge genus of around 500 species of flowering plants in the family Caesalpiniaceae. In the present study the fruits of Cassia spectabilis D.C. prepared by using solvents like Distilled Water, Ethanol, Acetone and Chloroform are screened for the detection of presence phytochemicals at preliminary level. Cassia spectabilis D.C. fruit is very rich in compounds like flavonoids and tannins and remaining significant compounds are also in the moderate amounts. Keywords: Cassia spectabilis D.C., Caesalpiniaceae, phytochemicals, flavonoids and tannins.
