Abstract

This study investigates the phytochemical composition of four medicinal plants, revealing a diverse array of bioactive compounds with potential medicinal properties. The results support the traditional use of these plants in various therapeutic applications and highlight their potential as valuable resources for drug development and herbal product standardization.

For this study, four medicinal plants such as Curcum longa, Aloe barbadensis, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica were selected. This present study reports the solvent extract and aqueous prepared from four Indian plants belonging to different families collected from home town. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of phytochemicals in selected medicinal plants. Solvents used were ethanol or methanol. carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins were detected in all of the plants tested. These tested plants (Curcum longa, Aloe barbadensis, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica) contain medicinally important bioactive compounds and it justifies their use in the traditional medicines for the treatment of different diseases.
