Medicinal plants are rich in bioactive components that are utilized to treat various human ailments. They are crucial to healing as well. Phytochemical constituents are responsible for the medicinal activity of plant species. Phytochemical screening is an important step in identifying bioactive compounds present in particular medicinal plants. Hence, in this present work, phytochemical screening of leaf extract of some traditional medicinal plants, namely Cannabis sativa, Ricinus communis, and Bryophyllum pinnatum was carried out. The solvent extracts of the leaves of respective plants were prepared using the Soxhlet apparatus with acetone, chloroform, petroleum ether, and aqueous solvents. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of plants included tests for reducing sugars, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, polyphenols, tannins, terpenoids, and coumarins. All eight tested phytoconstituents were found present in all three plants in any solvent extracts. Aqueous extract confirmed the presence of a maximum number of phytoconstituents in C. sativa in comparison to other solvents. Acetone confirmed the maximum and chloroform confirmed the minimum number of phytoconstituents in R. communis, while chloroform confirmed the maximum and aqueous extract confirmed the minimum number of phytoconstituents in B. pinnatum. These phytochemicals may be a source of innovative plant-based medications because their existence is connected with the therapeutic potential of these plants.

In this study, it is aimed to prepare a 1:1 ratio PLA blend with PEG-b-PCL diblock copolymer, which is intended to be used as a drug release and biomaterial, and to obtain a biocomposite film with M.neglecta extract in different ratios. The obtained biocomposite films were first characterized by the ATR-IR spectrum and the characteristic functional group signals of the polymers were determined. The thermal analysis results show that the plant extract reduces the thermal stability of the polymer blend. Calorimetric measurements can be interpreted as plant-doped biocomposite films decrease the Tg temperature of the polymer blend, that is, increase the interchain free volume of the polymers. It was observed that swelling degree and moisture content of the plant treated polymer blend biocomposite films decreased with increasing plant percentage, while water solubility increased. It was observed that the plant extract slightly improved this feature of the PEG-b-PCL/PLA blend film, which showed shape memory. Due to the phenolic compounds in the structure of M. neglecta, it increased the antioxidant activities of the biocomposite films by adding it to the polymer blend.

Phytochemicals are known to contain a high concentration of therapeutically active principles, which, when consumed in sufficient quantities, can have drug-like effects. Bryophillum pinnatum (Lam.) is a succulent-ethno medicinal xerophyte with a long history of use in traditional Indian medicine. Because reactive oxygen species are the most common etiological factor in many degenerative diseases, controlling them with antioxidants may both treat and prevent disease progression. The current study will look at the ability of fresh leaf juice of Bryophillum pinnatum (Lam.) (FLJBP) to prevent oxidative injury and subsequent hemolysis in goat erythrocytes as a model test system. The catalytic activity of membrane bound enzymes like sodium potassium-ATPase, Ach-Ease, and metabolic enzymes like hexokinase, as well as the NO concentration in goat RBCs, were measured. Phenyl hydrazine was used first, followed by FLJBP at concentrations of 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100g/ml. A dose-dependent (PHZ) increase in Pi liberation by hexokinase and Na+/K+ ATPase, as well as increased formation of thiocholine iodide and enhanced NO scavenging potential, has indicated that flip has good anti-oxidant and anti-haemolytic activity. To record the functional food status of Bryophillum pinnatum (Lam.) species, a more rigorous and stringent battery of pharmacological, phytochemical, and bio analytical studies, followed by observational studies in humans, will be conducted.
