Phytochemical evalution

ABSTRACTMedicinal plants have much creative property due to the presence of many complex chemical substances with different chemical composition which are found as secondary plant metabolites in many parts of these plants. The aim of the study is to investigate Phytochemical screening of Petroleum ether and methanol of the stem bark extract of Barringtonia Acutangula powdered and the presence of different secondary metabolites responsible for the therapeutic values of the drug Qualitative phytochemical studies were performed on petroleum ether; Ethyl acetate and methanolic extract of Barringtonia Acutangula stem bark. The study was performed to identify its Alkaloid, Carbohydrate, Glycoside, Protein, Amino acid and flavonoids by using suitable chemicals and reagents of the different extract. The anthelmintic study shows all the two in vitro test species (Pheretima posthuma and Ascardia galli) responded towards our plant extracts by showing the sign of paralysis and death finally. and observed that the Ethyl acetate extract was most potent which is well comparable with both standard drugs as Albendazole and Piperazine citrate, followed by Methanolic extract at higher doses. Petroleum Ether extracts of all the plants were endowed with minute anthelmintic property, The Priliminary Phytochemical studies of stem was performed on its different extracts to identify its Alkaloid, Carbohydrate and Glycoside, Saponin, Protein & Amino acid, and many mores. The anthelmintic activity of the extract of ethyl acetate showing most potent as it contains mainly flavones and flavonoids, triterpenoids and phenolic compounds which may be responsible for this activity.
