“…It is unlikely that a random screening of the local flora would have resulted in such a high success rate. In several studies the percentage of species identified as alkaloid-bearing is considered higher in ethnobotanical screening than would have been found in a random survey (Arthur and Cheung, 1960;Kiang et al, 1961;Amarasingham et al, 1964;Hultin and Torssell, 1965;Farnsworth, 1988).…”

As part of a larger study of the plants used by the Garifuna of eastern Nicaragua, the 229 species representing 177 genera and 72 families used for medicinal purposes were assayed for the presence of bioactive compounds. A review of the literature for alkaloids and glycosides showed that 113 species contained at least one of these bioactive compounds. The remaining 116 species not previously cited were tested for alkaloids with Dragendorff's reagent; 51 contained alkaloids. The combined results show that 72% of the species the Garifuna use medicinally have at least one alkaloid or glycoside. Tests to explore pharmacological activity of compounds from selected species represent the next step to determining efficacy and application of these medicinals.

“…Phytochemical analysis was carried out using methanol plant extract using standard methods (Amarsingham et al 1964;Harborne, 1973;Raaman, 2006;Karhikeyan et al 2009). The detailed and systematic pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluations of Curcuma caesia gives valuable information in order to produce standardized finished herbal products.…”

Allium cepa belongs to family Apiaceae, is a hebaceous annual plant spread throuout India. It is commonly known Onion or Pyaz in India. The present study renders the preliminary phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of Allium cepa. In the present study two bacteria were tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility against Petrolum ether, Acetone and Methanolic extract of plant. The antimicrobial activity of plant extracts were assayed using well diffusion method. The results showed alkaloids, flavnoids, steroids, phenols, amino acids, glycosides, tannins triterpanoids and carbohydrates are present different extracts. Antimicrobial effects of methanolic extract show the highest inhibition against E.coli and B.Subtilis. Acetone extract shows minimum Inhibitory effect against E.coli and B.Subtilis. This study provides evidence for the presence of one or more soluble constituents in the plants used, that probably interferes with bacterial growth and their metabolism which would prevent and inhibit initiation and progression of many diseases
