PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF MEDICINAL PLANT

Abstract

Phytochemical screening of flowers is an important area of research that focuses on identifying the bioactive compounds present in these natural sources. Flowers have been traditionally used in folk medicine for their therapeutic properties, and recent scientific studies have shown that they contain a range of chemical constituents that exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. This review article provides an overview of the methods used for the phytochemical screening of flowers, including qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. We also summarize the bioactive compounds found in different flower species and their potential health benefits. Finally, we discuss the future directions of research in this field and the potential applications of flower-derived bioactive compounds in drug discovery and development. A methanol extract was used to screen the phytochemistry of ten different locally accessible plant parts. Plants contain a variety of phytoconstituents, such as volatile oils, terpenoids, quercetin, steroid, alkaloids, and cardiac glycosides, As per investigations how to phytoconstituents affect the growth of Pisum sativum beans, phytoconstituents included in extracts had a toxic effect on Pisum sativum seed growth. The phytoconstituents in the plant extract had an impact on cell proliferation and growth. In light of this, these plants may be used to create medications that are effective against bacteria and microbes as well as cancer cells.
