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...

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 on their efficiency, simplicity, and availability of chemicals, materials, and equipment. The result of the screening of a set of plant, using both the modified and the reference procedures, revealed that the modified procedures gave comparable results as the reference procedures. In a second batch of screening using the modified procedures, saponins and tannins were detected in taba-tabakuhan, a moss species, tagulinao and elephant's ear.The cytotoxic screening by brine shrimp assay showed that chichirica, oregano, and guava contained cytotoxic components.

The moss extract was found to be significantly toxic. 1996-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_masteral/1751 Master's Theses English Animo Repository Extracts Plant cytotaxonomy Natural products -- Spectra Plants Useful Microbial sensitivity tests Medicinal plants Chemistry
