Abstract

The present investigation was focused on the preliminary phytochemical, UV-VIS spectrum and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectral analysis of Asteracantha longifolia. The Methanolic extract from the leaves of Asteracantha longifolia  were tested for the availability of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, proteins, Terpenoids, Phenols, Steroids, Glycosides and Carbohydrates. The UV-VIS profile demonstrated various peaks ranging from 400-700 nm with various Extract respectively. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of secondary alcohols, alkanes, alkynes, aromatics, alkenes, sulphur, phosphorus, esters, hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds (amines) in methanolic extract. The results of this study offer a platform of using Asteracantha longifolia leaves as herbal alternative for various diseases including diabetic, cardiovascular etc. The results of this study offer a platform of using Asteracantha longifolia leaves as herbal alternative for various diseases including cancer and diabetic.
