ABSTRACT:
The rise of drug-resistant bacteria has driven researchers to explore natural alternatives. phytochemical examination of Barleria cristata Linn's chloroform extract. revealed several active ingredients in its leaf extract. To obtain a complete chemical profile of the chloroform leaf extract, a combination of NMR, GC-MS, IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy is required. A thorough analysis of the biological characteristics and phytochemistry of the Barleria genus is provided in this research. Additionally, numerous studies have explored the chemical composition and potential therapeutic applications of Memecylon edule, a species in the Melastomataceae family. Chemical profiling of the chloroform leaf extract of Memecylon edule can be conducted using methods such as Methods of chromatography and instrumental spectroscopy identify bioactive compounds. Research on similar species, along with standard techniques for analyzing plant extracts, provides valuable insights. Both Memecylon edule and Barleria cristata chloroform leaf extracts have demonstrated significant anthelmintic activity.
