Plants are the natural producers of medicinal agents like alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolics. These phytocompounds alone or in combination act as a therapeutic agent in various disease complications. Various chemical reagents are used to determine the major phytochemicals present in plant parts. Protocols involved in screening of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, phytosterols, fixed oils, and fats are shown in this chapter.
植物是生物碱、黄酮类化合物、单宁和酚类等药物制剂的天然生产者。这些植物化合物单独或组合使用,可作为各种疾病并发症的治疗剂。各种化学试剂用于确定植物部位中存在的主要植物化学物质。本章展示了生物碱、碳水化合物、糖苷、皂苷、植物甾醇、固定油和脂肪的筛选方案。
