Abstract |
A medicinal plant is any plant which in one or more of its organs contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes or which are precursors for chemo pharmaceutical semi synthesis. Many investigations have demonstrated to elucidate the chemical components of flower origin. In this study, the preliminary phytochemical group test of the aqueous extract of dried flowers of Nerium oleander extract was performed for the presence of various active principles. Antimicrobial activity is determined by agar diffusion method while antioxidant activity is explained by DPPH method. Due to its potency against oxidant and microbial activity, these oleander flowers can be used in pharmacology field in future to treat various diseases in human. |
