Isolation of Phytoconstituents from Ethanolic Bark Extract of Terminalia Paniculata (Combretaceae)

Abstract

The Terminalia genus is the second largest in the Combretaceae family. All around the world, species belonging to the genus Terminalia have been utilised in antiquated forms of popular medicine. A brief report on Terminalia paniculata L. (TP) was later made, nevertheless. Comprehensive information regarding Terminalia plants, with an emphasis on TP and its biological and separated components, is presented in this literature review. Tannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenes, triterpenoid glycosides, lignan, and lignan derivatives are only a few of the phytochemicals that have been isolated from Terminalia plants through plant-based research. A wide range of actions were documented by extracts and isolated components of several Terminalia plants. Part of TP are polyphenols such flavellagic acid, ellagic acid, and 3,3'-di-O-methyyl ellagic acid. Researchers have uncovered a wide variety of active chemicals in the Terminalia genus. The use of Terminalia in the treatment of many diseases in plant-based medicine has been validated by numerous biochemical potentials. The pharmacological mechanisms responsible for bioactive components should be the focus of future research.processes involving pharmaceuticals
