Evaluation of Phytochemicals in crude extracts derived from the Aerial parts of Lantana camara

Abstract

Natural products plays a crucial role in the ongoing quest for new pharmaceutical discoveries and developments. They serve as valuable sources for clinically effective drugs, act as essential precursors for synthesizing pharmaceuticals, and offer foundational compounds for designing entirely synthetic drugs. Among the vast array of natural sources, the genus Lantana stands out with approximately 2500 species distributed worldwide, renowned for their bioactive secondary metabolites and essential oils. Lantana camara, a species within this genus, has garnered attention for its rich reservoir of chemical compounds with potential pharmacological significance. The samples obtained from aqueous, petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform and ethanol underwent both qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine their phytochemical composition. Various compounds such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and cardiac glycosides were assessed in extracts from different solvents. Notably, positive results were observed for six phytochemical tests in the aqueous, ethanol, chloroform, and petroleum ether extracts of L. camara, while the benzene extract yielded positive results for five tests. Additionally, concentrations of key secondary metabolites were quantified in all extracts, with the ethanol extract showing the highest levels of phytochemicals. The primary aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the bioactive compounds present in the plant, which could potentially contribute to its therapeutic properties. The findings provide valuable insights into the chemical makeup of the plant, serving as a foundation for future investigations into its pharmacological effects.
