Antibacterial Activity Of Some Folklore Medicinal Plants From South India

“…P .piscatorum and P. flaccidus which were positive to 9 and 8 phytochemical tests respectively. These results are in parallel to the earlier studies conducted on terpens , alkaloids , lignans , flavonoids and tannins in Phyllathus species (Vongvanich et al, 2000;Houghton, 1999;Lin et al, 1995). The results of the phytochemical tests on B. ferruginea confirms the studies on the same by Kabir, where he reported the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids (Kabir et al, ).…”

A Study on Phytochemical Analysis of Phyllanthus Tenellus Roxb.

“…Lignans, tannins and phenols were detected in all the 3 tested plants. These results are in parallel to the earlier studies conducted on terpenes, alkaloids, lignans, flavonoids and tannins in Phyllanthus species [18][19][20][21] . The difference in the findings might be due to the nature of the solvent used for extraction, which determines the presence or absence of a metabolite in the extract.…”

Anti-viral and cytotoxic norbisabolane sesquiterpenoid glycosides from Phyllanthus emblica and their absolute configurations

“…(Euphorbiaceae). Isolation of phyllanthocin from Phyllanthus brasiliensis Muell (Kupchan et al, 1977), phyllaemblicins A-F and G1-G8 from Phyllanthus emblica Linn (Lv et al, 2014a;Zhang et al, 2000aZhang et al, ,b, 2001, and phyllanthacidoids A-U from Phyllanthus acidus Skeels (Lv et al, 2014b;Vongvanich et al, 2000) have been previously reported. These compounds showed potent antileukemic (Kupchan et al, 1977), cytotoxic (Vongvanich et al, 2000) and anti-viral (Liu et al, 2009;Lv et al, 2014a,b) activities, which attracted considerable attention by pharmacologists and organic chemists (Moore and Powis, 1986;Smith et al, 1991).…”
