Abstract
Medicinal plants contain diverse bioactive compounds that play significant roles in therapeutic applications. The present study investigates the qualitative and quantitative phytochemical composition of selected medicinal plants using standardized extraction and analytical techniques. Plant samples were subjected to solvent extractions using methanol, ethanol, and aqueous media. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and glycosides in varying intensities depending on the solvent system. Quantitative estimation demonstrated higher total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) in methanolic extracts compared to aqueous extracts. These findings confirm the rich phytochemical profile of the studied plants and highlight the influence of extraction solvents on bioactive compound yield. The study contributes to the scientific validation of medicinal plants and provides a foundation for future pharmacological and drug-development investigations.
