Phytochemical Evaluation, Isolation, Characterization and Pharmacological screening of extracts Cayratia trifolia and Alternanthera sessilis

Abstract

In the present scenario of pharmaceuticals, there is an increasing demand of more active therapeutic agents. Apart from the synthetic route natural source is the major source for active therapeutic agents. It has provided us Morphine, Digoxin, Quinine, Vincristine and many more very potent and active therapeutic agents. To carry out the preliminary phytochemical investigations of different extracts of Cayratia trifolia Family- Vitaceae,Alternanthera sessilis Family-Amaranthaceae. Plants are frequently used for the treatment of inflammation, cancer, arthritis, anthelmintic and diabetes. There is lack of scientific data concerning various activities of extracts of Cayratia trifolia Family- Vitaceae,Alternanthera sessilis Family-Amaranthaceae. Natural products today are most likely going to continue to survive and grow to become even more precious as sources of new drug leads. This is because of the degree of chemical variety found in natural products is broader than that from any other resource, and the scale of originality of molecular structure found in natural products is greater than that determined from any other source. Plant remedies contain active principles that are continuously being screened for their promising pharmacological significance. It is needed to screen plants for new actions. To meet this goal, sensible hard work is required in selection of plant material, time for its collection, system of processing and pharmacological screening for appropriate therapeutic effects.
