Abstract

Botanicals possess healing and medicinal properties which could be an alternative to synthetic therapeutic drugs. The study was conceptualized to determine the phytochemical constituents, present in Momordica charantia Linn. Moringa oleifera Lam., Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. and Mollugo oppositifolia Linn. crude ethanol leaf extracts and relate if the phytochemicals present have wound healing properties.. In Qualitative Phytochemical Evaluation, several methods were applied, i.e., crude ethanol leaf extraction procedure (cold maceration method) and Phytochemical Assay, to produce crude ethanol leaf extracts of the selected botanicals the subjected to various phytochemical tests to identify chemical constituents present using standard methods. Alkaloids, carbohydrates, essential oils, reducing sugars, fixed oils, tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids, proteins and saponins were qualitatively determined. The qualitative results were expressed as (++) for the presence of phytochemicals in significant amounts, (+) presence in trace amounts and (-) for the absence of phytochemicals. Crude ethanol leaf extracts of selected botanicals were subjected to phytochemical assay.  Results showed that all plants contain reducing sugars, tannins, carbohydrates, polyphenols, and flavonoids which may have contributed to wound healing activity independently or synergistically.
