Abstract Some plants have good medicinal and therapeutic importance for healthy lifestyle.(8) One among them is Phyllanthus emblica (Linn) belongs to Euphorbeaceae family, commonly known as Amla which has superior value in traditional system of medicine. It has several pharmacological properties, mainly antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity. (Jamwal. K. S. et. al.) The study is focused on phytochemical investigation. The extracts were used to detect the presence of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids and other phytochemicals. Antioxidant assay was performed as DPPH radical scavenging activity (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). DPPH reacts with the free radicals and change its colour.
The basil leaf (occimum basilium van thyrsiflouruae): It contains various compounds such as flavinoids, alkaloid, phenol and essential oil. So, it needs to be fractionalised to find out the chemical substance but have a definite physiological action on the living system. The qualitative analysis is very essential to the phytochemical constituents present in medicinal plants.(Habib- ur Rehman. K.A.; et. al.) The basil leaves of phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of several bio active components such as flavinoids, phenols, alkaloids, tannins, steroids and saponin. (7)
21st March 1997 - It is native to asia (India, Pakistan, Thailand and other countries)
Phyllanthus niruri: We have selected Phyllanthus niruri commonly known as keezha nelli. It is an important ethno-botanical species of India and widely used in Ayurveda formulations. Plant derived immunostimulants are a promising alternative to chemotherapeutics and also perhaps vaccines.
