Phytochemical analysis of secondary metabolites from the flowers and roots of the plant Ipomoea asarifolia
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article discusses the synthesis of secondary metabolites in the plant Ipomoea asarifolia, known for its traditional use in medicine. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins and saponins in the flowers and roots, highlighting variations between extracts. These compounds have allelopathic potential and defensive activity. The biochemical diversity highlights the importance of continuous research for applications in agriculture and sustainable therapeutic applications in the pharmaceutical industry, guaranteeing safe and effective benefits. The study highlights the connection between plant biochemistry and practical application in agriculture and the pharmaceutical industry, emphasising the need to understand these compounds.
