This research evaluated the phytochemical contents and analgesic properties of ethanol extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa. Fresh leaves of H. Sabdariffa were obtained, dried and milled. The samples were then analyzed for phytochemical composition using standard methods. The analgesic property was done using 20wistar albino rats weighing 80-120 g and grouped into 5 different groups (n=4). Group one served as control and received only feed and water ad libitum, group 2: received morphine, intraperitoneally and Group 3, 4, and 5 received Hibiscus sabdariffa ethanol leaf extract (250, 500, 750 mg/kg) orally, respectively. The photochemical result shows the presence of flavonoids (28.66 %) and tannins (30.43 %) as the highest phytochemicals while others are alkaloids (20.74 %), phenols (18.93 %), cardiac glycosides (5.70 %) and saponins (15.60 %).The analgesic result showed that significance percentage inhibition of writhing (p<0.05) at 750 mg/kg bw which showed similar potency as morphine. Therefore, these results show that H. Sabdariffa can be used as an analgesic when consumed in a high concentration.
Nature always stands as a golden mark to exemplify the outstanding phenomenon of symbiosis. The plants are indispensable to man for his life. Nature has provided a complete store house of remedies to cure all ailments of mankind.
The present study, a simple and eco-friendly, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using the plant leaves of Centella asiatica. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized extra cellular by Centella asiatica at room temperature. The AgNPs were quite stable without using any toxic chemicals as capping agents
In the present work was undertaken with a preliminary phytochemical screening of betel leaves showed the presence of active compound in the aqueous extract. The aqueous extract of betel leaves showed the presence of preliminary phytochemical such as alkaloids flavonoids, Saponins, tannins terpenoids and glycoside substance.

It is well known that the plant kingdom contains numerous bioactive substances affecting the regulation of reproduction. This study was aimed at screening the phytochemicals and antifertility activity of methanolic extract of root Rhus mysorensis. The phytochemical analysis was carried out using standard methods.
In the process of drug discovery, several non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been developed, however, a majority of them suffered from pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetic, side-effects, or adverse drug reactions, which compelled researchers for continuous searching for better alternatives.
Ginkgo biloba, that is widely used to treat various diseases due to the numerous bioactive compounds, attracts considerable investigation interest
To evaluate the anti-microbial potential of Euselenops luniceps, locally known as ‘Moon-headed sidegill slug’, which one of the sea slug species. The in vitro anti-microbial assay was carry out by disc diffusion method.
