QUALITATIVE PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF ACALYPHA INDICA L. MEDICINAL PLANTS OF FAMILY EUPHORBIACEAE

A preliminary analysis was conducted on the aqueous extract of the leaves, stem, and root of Acalypha indica L. to determine its phytochemical composition. This plant is classified under the family Euphorbiaceae. This plant is well recognized in traditional medicine for its efficacy in treating a variety of diseases. The analysis was conducted using conventional methodologies. The medical importance of many phytochemical elements revealed in this plant confirms the long-standing practice of using medicinal plants as treatments for human ailments. The objective of this research was to identify the main phytoconstituents present in Acalypha indica L. medicinal plants and establish a correlation between their presence and the bioactivities shown by the plants. The plant was screened using conventional techniques, which revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, phenolics, saponins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, and alkaloids. The existence of these phytochemicals may be associated with the therapeutic capacity of certain plants. Additional research is required to assess the pharmacological capabilities of this plant, as well as to separate, analyse, and understand the chemical structures of the bioactive chemicals that are responsible for its activities and other therapeutic properties.
