Abstract

Most of the current medicines at use are derived from phyto-compounds. Plant-based products are used since ancient times to cure various ailments. Due to modern civilization, the properties of numerous medicinal plants remain undiscovered or dormant. This study deals with Cassia alata, Thespesia populnea, and Wrightia tinctoria. The extracts Cassia alata, Thespesia populnea, and Wrightia tinctoria were checked for their bioactive properties. Secondary metabolites such as alkaloids and saponins were withdrawn from dried leaves using the solvent extraction method. The secondary metabolites were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The metabolites were evaluated for an antioxidant property using DPPH. The metabolites were further checked for larvicidal activity.
