The present study of preliminary phytochemical screening and antibacterial activity was carried out in Tinospora cordifolia leaf, stem and roots extracts. Standard procedure involving cold maceration technique was conducted on the plant extracts for screening the phytochemical constituents using different polar solvents like aqueous, methanol, butanol and ethanol and a non-polar solvent like chloroform. This was followed by antibacterial activity using plant butanolic extracts by using well diffusion method since the butanolic extract of leaf, stem and root of T. cordifolia showed highest positive results for the presence of phytochemicals. Further in antibacterial activity highest zone of inhibition was shown at 80 µg/ml concentration against Escherechia coli in stem butanolic extract. Hence it became evident that T. cordifolia comprises of copious phytochemicals/secondary metabolites which possess antibacterial properties and can be used for development of novel drugs for curing infectious diseases.

Medicinal plants have played a significant role in the advancement of human society. Medicinal flowers have consistently been at the forefront of virtually all cultures and civilizations as a source of medicine. The wealthiest assets of traditional pharmaceuticals are medicinal flowers, and it is from these flowers that cutting-edge drugs are made. For many years, medicinal flowers were used to treat illnesses, enhance the flavour of food and preserve it, and prevent disease epidemics. The organic characteristics of plant species employed throughout history have typically been attributed to the secondary metabolites created with the help of the flowers. The use of items produced by plants helps control microbial overgrowth in a variety of situations. In this review and assessment, I provided an outline of the healing plants.

The emergence of new chronic and infectious diseases has spurred intense research efforts to identify new and effective substances for combating these global health challenges. Plants have been widely acknowledged as a principal source of drug discovery due to their remarkable ability to produce a diverse array of bioactive molecules. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the phytochemical and antioxidant potential of the crude extracts obtained from different parts of Ipomoea quamoclit . Various parts of I. quamoclit were collected, ground, dried, and processed into a coarse powder. Subsequently, solvent extraction using methanol and ethyl acetate was performed to obtain the extracts. The methanolic extract (ME) of the plant's leaves exhibited a higher phenolic content (6.097±0.189 mg/g of GAE) compared to the ME of the root (4.515±0.1884 mg/g of GAE). Additionally, the ethyl acetate extract (EAE) of the leaves showed a higher flavonoid content (12.815±0.234 mg/g of CAE) compared to the EAE of the root (11.229±3.558 mg/g of CAE). Moreover, the ME of the stem displayed a higher antioxidant capacity (41.488±0.684 mg/g of AAE) than the ME of the leaves (37.133±5.604 mg/g of AAE). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the ME of the stem of I. quamoclit was 64.050%, comparable to that of BHT (77.48%). These findings indicate that I. quamoclit holds promise as a valuable source of phytochemicals and antioxidant compounds.

This present investigation was conducted to identify and screen the most common medicinal plants used to treat snake bites in Ankpa local government area of Kogi state, Nigeria. After an ethnobotanical survey, only the roots of six medicinal plants were analysed for their qualitative and quantitative phytochemical properties. Roots were pulverised and extracted using methanol solvent. Alkaloids were investigated using Mayer and Dragndorff test; Tannins - Ferric-Chloride test; Total Phenol - Dennis test; Glycosides - Fehling A and B test; Saponins - Frothing test; Flavonoids - NaOH-HCl test; and quantitative constituents were identified using spectrophotometric method. The phytochemical screening indicated the existence of different classes of secondary metabolites, specifically alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, total phenols and glycosides, at different levels. Statistical analysis was investigated by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and the means were distingushed according to Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% probability level. Alkaloid contents obtained were 0.5mg/g, 0.8mg/g, 0.8mg/g, 0.5mg/g, 0.6mg/g, 2.2mg/g of the extract; Flavonoids - 20.8mg/g, 42.2mg/g, 30.9mg/g, 20.7mg/g, 30.5mg/g, 23.6mg/g of the extract; Saponins - 16.5mg/g, 23.1mg/g, 29.6mg/g, 18.8mg/g, 28.8mg/g, 20.7mg/g of the extract; Tannins - 22.8mg/g, 32.7mg/g, 34.4mg/g, 10.6mg/g, 28.8mg/g, 30.2mg/g of the extract; Total phenols - 710.4mg/g, 704.2mg/g, 715.6mg/g, 719.6mg/g, 719.7mg/g, 718.1mg/g of the extract for the six medicinal plants Annona senegalensis, Khaya senegalensis, Uvaria chamae, Lophira lanceolata, Phyllanthus muellerianus and Securidaca longipedunculata respectively. The results of the study revealed the presence of valuable bioactive compounds with medicinal properties in the aqueous and organic solvent extracts of these plants. Thus, supporting their use in traditional medicine for treating various ailments, such as snakebites.
本调查旨在确定和筛选尼日利亚科吉州Ankpa地方政府地区用于治疗蛇咬伤的最常见药用植物。经过民族植物学调查，仅对6种药用植物的根进行了定性和定量的植物化学性质分析。根被粉碎，用甲醇溶剂提取。采用Mayer和Dragndorff法测定生物碱含量;单宁。氯化铁试验;总酚-丹尼斯试验;糖苷- Fehling A和B试验;皂甙起泡试验;黄酮类化合物NaOH-HCl试验;并采用分光光度法进行定量成分鉴定。植物化学筛选表明，次生代谢产物中存在不同种类的生物碱、黄酮类、皂苷、单宁、总酚类和苷类，且含量不同。采用方差分析(ANOVA)进行统计分析，在5%概率水平上采用Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT)进行均值判别。所得生物碱含量分别为0.5mg/g、0.8mg/g、0.8mg/g、0.5mg/g、0.6mg/g、2.2mg/g;黄酮类化合物——提取物20.8mg/g、42.2mg/g、30.9mg/g、20.7mg/g、30.5mg/g、23.6mg/g;皂苷- 16.5mg/g、23.1mg/g、29.6mg/g、18.8mg/g、28.8mg/g、20.7mg/g提取物;单宁-萃取物22.8mg/g、32.7mg/g、34.4mg/g、10.6mg/g、28.8mg/g、30.2mg/g;总酚含量分别为710.4mg/g、704.2mg/g、715.6mg/g、719.6mg/g、719.7mg/g、718.1mg/g，分别用于六种药用植物樟子、樟叶、千叶、长柄仙鹤。研究结果表明，在这些植物的水萃取物和有机溶剂萃取物中存在有药用价值的生物活性化合物。因此，支持它们在传统医学中用于治疗各种疾病，如蛇咬伤。
