Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Phytometabolites Present in Stem and Leaf of Cissus quadrangularis (L.): A Therapeutic Herb

The present work was conducted to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and to screen the methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of the stem and leaves of Cissus quadrangularis (Linn) for the presence of bioactive compounds. Methanol and ethyl acetate were used as solvents to extract the biocompound according to their polarity. The solvents were used to extract into it by the extraction method at optimized conditions. Crude protein, crude fat, and carbohydrate content were determined as primary metabolites. The chemical composition in methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of Cissus quadrangularis L. revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenoids, protein, amino acids, fixed oils, fats, tannins and cardiac glycosides. This work could be further useful to the structural evaluation and further quantification of bioactive compounds for further studies in medical, pharmaceutical fields and formation of many drugs in therapeutic fields.
