Phytochemical Screening Of The Aqueous Extract Of Seeds Of Polylophium Involucratum (Pall.) Boiss. From RAMSAR-IRAN

Plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites with interesting biological activities. In general, these secondary metabolites are an important source of phytochemicals with a variety of structural arrangements and properties [1]. The objective of the current study was to study the phytochemicals present in Polylophium involucratum (Pall.) Boiss. collected from Ramsar, Iran. The seeds were collected and an aqueous extract prepared maceration for 24 hrs. The present study revealed the phytochemicals analysis of ten different chemical compounds (flavonoids, coumarins, quinones, saponins, tannins, di-terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, phlobatannins, phenols and terpenoids) were tested in an aqueous extract. The results of the phytochemical screening of aqueous extract of seeds of Polylophium involucratum (Pall.) Boiss. were flavonoids, coumarins, quinones, cardiac glycosides, phenols, terpenoids and phlobatannins presented. These active constituents show different activities against different types of diseases like cancer, liver disorders, diabetes, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases etc.
