PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF Albizia lebbeck STEM BARK
Keywords:
Albizia lebbeck; bioactive chemicals; nutrients; solvents; phytochemicals
Abstract
Preliminary screening of phytochemicals is a valuable step in the detection of the bioactive chemicals in plants which may lead to drug discovery and could also be used for the treatment of various ailments. The aim of this experiment was to examine a preliminary phytochemical screening of Albizia lebbeck stem bark. The solvent used for the analysis includes: methanol, petroleum ether and water. The result obtained revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins, phenols, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, carbohydrates and proteins in all the solvent used. This bioactive chemicals and nutrients have therapeutic value and have been reported to be cheap, safe, and effective with no side effects in the body of animals.
