Abstract:Solanum nigrum Linn, belonging to the family Solanaceae, is a flowering species native to Australia, South Africa, and Asia. In the present study, the dried S. nigrum leaves were extracted with benzene, diethyl ether, and ethanol by Soxhlet’s extraction and screened qualitatively and quantitatively to determine their total phytoconstituent content and their potential antioxidant evaluation, followed by the GCMS analysis to predict the hit compounds. The highest amounts of phenols (120.50 mg), alkaloids (90.50 … Show more
