PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF SOLANUM TRILOBATUM (L.) YOUNG LEAVES
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Medicinal plant is factually any plant which in one or more of its parts contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes or which precursors for the synthesis are of direct therapeutic agents. Ethno botanical and traditional uses of natural compounds, especially of plant origin received much attention in recent years as they are well tested for their efficacy and generally believed to be safe for human use. In our present investigation phytochemical analysis of Solanum trilobatum young leaves has been evaluated for the presence of bioactive compounds using various polarity solvents including petroleum ether, chloroform, 80 % ethanol and water. The study revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, amino acids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, carbohydrates and tannins. The results also suggested that 80 % ethanolic extract of Solanum trilobatum has a promising therapeutic potential.
