ABSTRACT

Our nature gifted us with several plants which constitute outstanding source for many bioactive constituents, which exhibit remarkable therapeutic potential and diverse pharmacological actions Herb-herb combination (polyherbalism) is concept where two or more herbal drugs are mixed in certain proportion to assess their synergistic or antagonistic effects. The present study was carried out for the extraction, phytochemical screening and evaluation of plant parts of interest. Evaluation of herbal drugs is essential in order to assess the quality of drugs, and to detect presence of various constituents responsible for the pharmacological activity. For the present study leaves of Moringa concanens is and seeds of Sesbania grandifiora were collected and processed for extraction. Phytochemical investigation was performed for both the plants. M. concanens is leaves and seeds of Sesbania grandifiora have the potential to act as a source of useful drugs because of presence of various phytochemical constituents such as Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Phenol, Terpenoids, Saponin and Carbohydrates. These phyto constituents seemed to have the potential to act as a source of useful drugs and also to improve the health status of the consumers. The presence of these phyto constituents have vital role in good health, wellness and therapy. The aim of present study was to prepare ethanolic extracts of different parts of selected plants, perform preliminary phytochemical screening and their physico- chemical evaluation.
