Medicinal plants possess pharmacological effect due to the presence of bioactive compounds. The target of this presence study is find out the bioactive chemical constituents and to evaluate anti proliferative effect and also analyze the larvicidal effect of methanolic and aqueous extract of dried leaves of canavalia virosa. The preliminary study shows this plant contains the presence of secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phytosteroids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and coumarins. This research reports methanolic extract of canavalia virosa shows antiproliferative activity effect against Sk- Mel 2 cells. The larvicidal activity of canavalia virosa was performed against the 4th instar larvae of anopheles mosquitoes. The larvicidal mortality was observed after 48hours of plant extract exposure. This is an ecofriendly approach for mosquitoes control measure. The results of this present study shows the plant has potential effect against mosquitoes and has antiproliferative effect.
Medicinal plants based drugs and chemicals used for curing enormous ailments and it help for the invention of modern pharmaceuticals. The target of this present study is to find out the bioactive compounds and to evaluate antiproliferative and larvicidal effect on Gliricidia sepium leaves. Phytochemical determination was oriented to search secondary metabolites and this preliminary study shows Gliricidia sepium it has alkaloid, flavanoids, phytosteroids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, mucilage, and coumarins. In this Research a significant cytotoxic effect was observed in Gliricidia sepium methanolic extract against Adenocarcinoma gastric cells. The larvicidal activity was observed by using aqueous and methanolic plant extracts on Anopheles mosquitoes and shows a high mortality rate on 48 hours after the plant extracts exposure. The result of this study shows this plant has significant phytochemicals and potential antiproliferative and Larvicidal effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
