PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND GC-MS ANALYSIS OF POLYHERBAL FORMULATION FOR DIABETES.

Abstract

The present study was carried out to screen the phytochems. of the polyherbal plants (mixt. of Andrographis paniculata, Andrographis alata, Adhatoda zeylanica, Gymnema sylvestre, Syzygium cumini and Justicia glabra) through preliminary phytochem. screening and GCMS analyses. The powder of polyherbal plant mixt. was extd. using ethylacetate as solvent. The preliminary phytochem. screening of the ext. revealed the presence of bioactive compds. such as flavonoids, alkaloids, carbohydrate, saponin, phenols, triterpenoids, coumarins, emodins and fatty acid and then the ext. was subjected to GC- MS anal. The GC-MS analyses showed the presence of 12 bioactive compds. and these compds. are recommended to treat antidiabetic activity. [on SciFinder(R)]
