Biochemical Activities, In Silico Antifungal and Anticancer Activities of J. Excisa

Abstract

Jatropha excisa (family Euphorbiaceae) is an ornamental shrub that grows in subtropics and tropics regions. In the present work J. excisa flower oil has been extracted and conducted for phytochemical, antifungal and anticancer activities. The present experiment shows that J. excisa seed oil contains proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, terpenoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, and saponins. The flower oil contains proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, phenols, cardiac glycosides, saponins and coumarins. The leaf ethanolic extract contains proteins, carbohydrates, phenols, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and coumarins. The stem ethanolic extract contains carbohydrates, terpenoids, tannins, coumarins and flavonoids. The root ethanolic extract contains carbohydrates, phenols, tannins, coumarins and flavonoids. The in silico analysis shows gossipidien acid, gossipifan and gossypiline from Jatropha has good antifungal and anticancer activities.
