Abstract
Since the dawn of time, humans have used plants as a natural source for healing and remedies. Among these, medicinal herbs have gained popularity due to their widespread use and lack of negative side effects. The globe has seen a rise in plant study in recent years, and a tonne of data has been gathered to demonstrate the enormous potential of the therapeutic plants employed in many traditional systems. In this work, flower extracts of Sphaeranthus indicus and Spathodea campanulata from the Madhya Pradesh region of Bhopal were evaluated for their qualitative and quantitative phytochemical composition. The well-known test procedure described in the literature was used to determine the quantitative analysis of total phenolics and flavonoids as well as the qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents. Sphaeranthus indicus and Spathodea campanulata both included alkaloids, carbohydrates, saponins, fixed oils and lipids, flavonoids, and phenolics, according to phytochemical analyses. By using the Folins Ciocalteau reagent method and the aluminium chloride method, respectively, phenolic and flavonoid quantities were analysed quantitatively. The amount of total phenolics in the methanolic extract of the flowers of Sphaeranthus indicus and Spathodea campanulata was 18.23±0.16 and 217.00±0.916mg/gm, respectively. Flavonoids came in second with 164.10±0.52 and 79.33±3.511mg/gm. This research gave information that might be used to standardize and correctly identify this plant material. The wide range of phytochemicals found in the plant thus points to its medicinal potentials, which could be investigated in both traditional medicine and the drug manufacturing business.
