A. Zahira* and Dr. K Thamilmani
ABSTRACT
The present study investigates the presence of various phytochemicals in the methanolic leaf extract of Piper betle and further analysis of the bioactive compounds present in it by elution chromatography coupling technique. The preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the existence of alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrate, proteins, phenols, saponin, phytosterols and terpeniods. Totally 25 bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified from P.betle by GC – MS analysis. This study forms a basis for the biological characterization and phyto-pharmaceutical significance of the identified compounds. The presence of various bioactive compounds justifies the usage of betel leaf as an herbal choice for treating various diseases.
