Phytochemical Screening & Phenol Quantification Of Alangium Salvifolium

Abstract

Purpose: Many different human ailments have historically been treated using medicinal plants. The objective of this work was to
quantitatively measure the concentration of phenol in various solvent leaf extracts of Alangium salvifolium and screen the qualitative
estimate of primary and secondary metabolites.
Methods: Phytochemical screening and total phenolic quantification of different extracts of A. salvifolium were done by standard
procedures.
Results: The extracts of A. salvifolium in petroleum ether, acetone, and distilled water include a range of primary and secondary
metabolites. The total quantification of phenol was analyzed in three extracts of Alangium and compared in terms of catechol
equivalent. Its therapeutic efficacy could be caused by the presence of secondary metabolites.
Conclusion: To evaluate the potential of A. salvifolium for the treatment of different ailments, further research into the plant is required.
