Phytochemical screenings of the ethanol on borreria articularis, ichnocarpus frutescens and zingiber officinale leaves

The Phytochemical activity of the ethanol extract of leafy part of the plants of Borreria articularis, Ichnocarpus frutescens and Zingiber officinale was studied to fix the parameters for pharmacognostical standards. These created an interest to test the possible phytochemical activity of the plant. In the screening process of selected plants indicate the presence of Protein, Total Carbohydrates, Total Free Amino acids, Proline, Phenols, β-carotein, Ascorbic acid, Thiamine, Calcium, Sodium and Potassium. This phytochemical study was performed by using standard procedure. The ethanolic extract of the leafy part of selected plants showed anti-gallstone activity in Albino wistar rats.
