Title:  Phyto-Chemical Investigation of Selected Medicinal Plant Species
Abstract:  A significant public health issue is the development and spread of resistant microorganisms. There is a dire need for effective therapeutic options, especially those derived from historically utilised medicinal herbs. The primary purpose of this research was to screen for phytochemicals and test the medicinal plants for antibacterial activity that have been historically employed.  Twelve medicinal plants were chosen using the FI (frequency index) of their ethnomedicinal uses. Various established procedures were used to screen groups of phytochemical substances. Flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids were all found to be present in the plant samples, with flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenols being the most numerous. Most of the therapeutic plants studied have been shown to have secondary metabolites. The discovery provides scientific proof for the usage of these traditionally used therapeutic herbs.
