Studies Phytochemical Screening of Leaf Extract of Clerodendrum Infortunatum Linn
Main Article Content
Abstract
The leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn, a member of the Verbinaceae family, contain compounds with biological activity. The current study set out to evaluate various extraction techniques in order to find the optimal ones for extracting flavonoid components from various solvents. Four different solvents were used to extract the leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn. To determine the percentage (%) yield of each extract, plant material was extracted using a variety of organic solvents in ascending order of polarity, including Petroleum ether (60–80°), Chloroform, Acetone, and Methanol. Each extract was subjected to a thin layer chromatography analysis to determine the amount of components it contained. Using various extraction techniques and (80%) ethanol, N.R. Fransworth extracted a flavonoid-rich fraction for comparative analysis.
