A Novel Comparative Identification Method of Alkaloid and Flavonoid from Leaves of Spathodea Campanulata

Abstract

Spathodea campanulata is a medicinal plant that has been used for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. In this study, we present a comparative method for the identification of alkaloids and flavonoids from the leaves of the plant. We employed a combination of extractive screening methods and microscopic examination to identify and differentiate these bioactive compounds. The results obtained from this study provide valuable insights into the phytochemical composition of this medicinal plant and contribute to the understanding of its therapeutic potential. The identified compounds can be further isolated and purified to assess their efficacy and safety profiles. In addition, the identified compounds could be subjected to in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate their potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. In conclusion, this research not only contributes to the knowledge of the pharmacological properties of this plant but also paves the way for further research and development in the field of herbal medicine.
