Modified procedures for the phytochemical and cytotoxic screening of natural products
This study modifies some commonly-used procedures in screening natural products. The published procedures were used as references for the screening of alkaloids, saponins, cardenolides, tannins and polyphenols, cyanogenic glycosides, and flavonoids. The reference procedures used were selected based...
