Qualitative Phytochemical Analysis of Medicinal Plants Selected from Temperate, Tropical and Hill Regions

The current study examines the phytochemical analysis of 15 therapeutic plants that were gathered from various places, including temperate, tropical, and hill/tribal areas. The plants gathered include Tridax procumbans, Achyranthus aspera, Amaranthus spinosus, Clitoria ternatea, Ruellia tuberosa, Euphorbia herta, Bougainvillea spectabilis, Aerva lanata, Zeucas aspera, and Ocimum basilicum. These plants have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-diabetic effects. First, numerous secondary metabolites were subjected to qualitative testing. Alkaloids, Saponins,Tannins, Steroids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids, Phlobitannins, Coumarins, Cycloglycosides, Phenols, and Quinones were all detected in plant extracts of these plants. Finally, the plants with comparable features were compared with the equivalent qualitative results for the quantitative study.
