Le fenugrec (Trigonella feonum-graecum L.) est une légumineuse annuelle appartenant à la famille des Fabaceae. C'est l'une des plus anciennes plantes médicinales et culinaires connues dans l'histoire. Originaire de l'Inde et de l'Afrique du Nord, elle est à présent cultivée dans diverses régions du monde, notamment en Chine, au Nord et à l'Est de l'Afrique, en Ukraine et en Grèce. Le fenugrec est connu pour exercer plusieurs propriétés médicinales importantes. Il a été utilisé pour de nombreuses indications dans la médecine ayurvédique et chinoise comme tonique général et pour amé-liorer le métabolisme et la santé ainsi que pour faciliter la digestion. De nombreuses études pharmacologiques et cliniques ont démontré que le fenugrec possède des effets antioxydant, anti-diabétique, gastroprotecteur, hépatoprotecteur, hypocholestérolémiant et hypoglycémiant en raison des effets des constituants de la graine dont des stéroïdes (diosgénine), des alcaloïdes (trigonelline), des flavonoïdes (lutéoline), des coumarines, des acides aminés (hydroxy-isoleucine), des mucilages (galactomannane), des constituants volatiles, une huile fixe et diverses autres substances. La consommation de fenugrec aux doses usuelles n'entraîne aucune toxicité. Cependant, des précautions d'utilisation sont recommandées chez les sujets souffrant d'allergies alimentairesMots clés Trigonella foenum-graecum · Graines · Ethnobotanique · Pharmacologie · Toxicité Abstract Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is one of the oldest cultivated spice and medicinal plants which belongs to the family Fabacecae. It is an annual leguminous crop that has been commonly used as a traditional food and medicine. It is native of a region extending from Northern India, but now it grows widely in the Mediterranean countries. Fenugreek is a cool climate species and grows best in sub-tropical and temperate areas. Fenugreek is highly nutritious and could greatly impact health : its seeds are good source of protein, fat, crude fiber, minerals and vitamins and contain three very important component of significant medicinal importance namely, complex carbohydrates (galactomannan), steroidal sapogenins (diosgenin) and amino acids (hydroxy-isoleucine). Therefore it is valuable as food and medicine. In addition it has a broad spectrum of therapeutic properties, as it was reported to have gastroprotective effect, antimicrobial activities, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic properties due to its rich composition of phytochemicals. Moreover, there is no sign of toxicity, suggesting that consumption of aqueous extract of seeds of this plant is harmless to health. Nevertheless, precautions of use are recommended for patients suffering from food allergies.

Garcinia gummi-gutta, also known as Garcinia cambogia, is a member of the Guttiferae family. Garcinia is a polygamous genus consisting 200 species of trees and shrubs. It is found in different zones of the planet including Asia's tropical regions. In India alone, around 30 species have been discovered. They are widely used as a flavoring agent to garnish fish curry in southern India, particularly in Kerala and Karnataka. The fruit rind of G. gummi-gutta has traditionally been used to treat gastrointestinal problems, diarrhea, and ulcers. South Indian people have been utilizing it traditionally as evidenced by its ethnobotanical properties. In vivo and in vitro effects of the crude fruit extract showed anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anthelmintic, anti-microbial, and antioxidant activities. G. gummi-gutta fruit rind is medicinally significant and is frequently used in ayurvedic and traditional medicine for many diseases. Various secondary metabolites such as organic acids-hydroxycitric acid (HCA), flavonoids, terpenes, polysaccharides and polyisoprenylated benzophenonesgarcinol, xanthochymol, guttiferone, benzophenone, xanthone, biflavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, phenols, and saponins isolated from the G. gummi-gutta have diverse pharmacological activities. This review provides a summary of G. gummi-gutta, including its biological activities, phytochemistry, and ethnobotanical applications.

Soybean is scientifically known as Glycine max. It belongs to the Fabaceae family. It consists of a lot of bioactive phytochemicals like saponin, phenolic acid, flavonoid, sphingolipids and phytosterols. It also owns excellent immune‐active effects in the physiological system. Soy and its phytochemicals have been found to have pharmacological properties that include anticancer, antioxidant, anti‐hypercholesterolaemic, anti‐diabetic, oestrogenic, anti‐hyperlipidaemic, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐obesity, anti‐hypertensive, anti‐mutagenic, immunomodulatory, anti‐osteoporotic, antiviral, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, goitrogenic anti‐skin ageing, wound healing, neuroprotective and anti‐photoageing activities. Present study has been designed to set standard pharmacognostical extraction method, complexation of compounds, qualitative evaluation through phytochemical screening, identification by TLC, physicochemical properties, solubility profile, total phenolic, flavonoid content as well as analytical evaluation or characterisation like UV and FT‐IR of methanolic extract of G. max. The final observations like physicochemical properties such as total ash value, LOD and pH were recorded. Phytochemical screenings show the presence of flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin, carbohydrate, tannins, protein, gums and mucilage, fixed oils and fats. The results were found significant. Further in silico studies proved creatinine and euparin to be potent wound healing agents.
