Isolation and Characterization Of Bioactive Phytochemicals
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study of bioactive phytochemicals has gained significant attention due to their therapeutic potential and role in drug discovery. This research focuses on the isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds from selected medicinal plants. Employing advanced extraction methods such as solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, and maceration, the phytochemicals were efficiently isolated. Subsequent characterization was carried out using chromatographic techniques (TLC, HPLC, GC-MS) and spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR) to determine their structure and functional groups. The results revealed the presence of key phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, and glycosides, which are known for their pharmacological activities including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This study underscores the importance of natural compounds as a valuable source for new drug development and supports further exploration of medicinal plants for potential therapeutic agents.
