INTRODUCTION
In recent years therapeutic plants has been in the mainstream as an economical and
commercial alternatives. The therapeutic assessment of these plants and studies on their
biological constituents has been the main focus of research in developing countries[1] The
practice of therapeutic plants in the system of drug, i.e. Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha is well
recognized. Nearly 3000 plants are authoritatively documented for their therapeutic worth
and over 6000 plants are used in traditional, herbal and old drug organization in India.[2]
Therapeutic plants contain bioactive elements such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and
phenolic compounds.[3-6] A therapeutic plant possesses vigorous constituents which can be
used for healing drives or contain substance mixes that can be used for the formulation of
medicines. Therapeutic plants have been in practice nowadays. The therapeutic worth of
these plants lies in bio actives phytochemical ingredients that has healing effect on the human
body.[7,8] Plant components are natural bioactive combinations present in plants which
provide defense machineries against illnesses and anxiety circumstances.[9] Plant leaves, bark,
flowers, roots, seeds, fruits, etc. can possess different therapeutic properties[10] The
antimicrobial actions of plants are attributed to the natural elements present in the plants.
These bioactive components contain alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, glycosides,
anthra-quinones, etc.[11] Studies pertaining to the phytochemical screening of plants are many.

were concentrated by slow evaporation process.[62] The obtained crude extracts were kept in
closed container for preliminary qualitative phytochemical analysis.
A. Qualitative Analysis
1) Tannins
0.5 g of the extract was dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water, then a few drops of 1% ferric
chloride solution was added to obtain a brownish green or blue black precipitate, which
confirms the presence of tannin.
2) Saponins
0.5 g of the extract was dissolved in 5 ml distilled water. The mixture was shaken vigorously.
Formation of stable persistent froth shows the presence of saponins. A further addition of 6
drops of olive oil while shaking forms an emulsion, confirming the presence of saponins.
3) Reducing sugars
1 gm of the extract was dissolved in 10 ml of distilled water. This extract was boiled with
Fehling solution A and B in test tube and colour changes were observed. Presence of brick
red colour indicated the presence of reducing sugar.
4) Alkaloids
6 ml of extract was mixed with 6 ml of 1% HCl in steam bath, and then it was filtered. 1 ml
of Mayer’s reagent was added. Presence of turbidity shows presence of alkaloids. Further
addition of a few drops of olive oil to form an emulsion confirmed the presence of alkaloids.
5) Terpenoids
0.5 gm extract was dissolved in 2 ml of chloroform then 3 ml concentrated sulfuric acid was
added, a reddish brown colour in interphase indicates the presence of terpenoids.
6) Flavonoids
5 ml dilute ammonia was added to 5 ml extract and then 5 ml concentrated sulfuric acid was
added. Formation of yellow colour shows the presence of flavonoids.
7) Cardiac glycosides
2.5 g of extract was added to 2.5 ml distilled water. 1 ml glacial acetic acid containing a few
drops of ferric chloride was added then 0.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added.
Presence of brown ring at the interphase indicates the presence of deoxy sugar. A violet ring
below the brown ring was observed, while a greenish ring also appears above the brown ring,
confirming the presence of Cardiac Glycosides.
8) Anthraquinones
2.5 g extract was dissolved in 5 ml of conc. Sulfuric acid and filtered. The filtrate was
dissolved in 2.5 ml of chloroform. Chloroform layer was pipetted into a tube and 0.5 ml of
10% diluted ammonia was added. Formation of pink red or violet colour shows the presence
of anthraquinones.
9) Phenols
2 ml of extract was dissolved in 4 ml of distilled water and added few drops of 10% FeCl3.
Appearance of blue or green colour indicates presence of phenols.
B. Quantitative Analysis
Quantitative analysis of phytochemical (alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, phenols and tannins)
was done using standard methods.[65-72]
The prepared extract of leaves seeds and stems were dissolved in their respective solvents
with 1 mg/ml concentration. 10 μml of the extract were loaded on the analytical plate (2.5 cm
above from the bottom) and dried on air for thirty minutes. The spotted plates were kept in a
previously saturated developing chambers containing mobile phase and allowed to run 3/4th
of the height of the prepared plates.[73] There solvent system contains petroleum ether:
benzene: methanol (16:3:2) as mobile phase. The different bands of chromatograms were
observed under visible light and photographed. Different spraying reagents were used for the
detection of different bioactive compounds like Dragendorffs reagent for alkaloids, Con. HCl
for saponins, Ammonia solution for flavonoids, FeCl3 for phenol, CHCl3 for Cardiac
glycosides and 1 mg/ml KOH in CH3OH for anthraquinone. The Rf values were calculated.
RESULTS
I. QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
The overall qualitative findings are summarized in Table- 1. Tannins were present in
ethanolic and methanolic extract on leaf and stem but it showed negative results in the
ethanolic and methanolic seed extracts and were absent in the chloroform and petroleum
ether extracts. All parts of plants contained saponins in all the four samples, but were absent
in the chloroform and petroleum ether extracts of the stem; reducing sugars were present in
ethanolic and methanolic leaf extract and stem extract, but were absent in the seed extract and
present in chloroform leaf extract and stem extracts. Alkaloids were present in ethanolic and
methanolic extract all parts of plant but were absent in chloroform and petroleum ether
extracts of all parts of plant; terpenoids were present in ethanolic, methanolic and
chloroform extracts of stem but absent in leaf and seed extracts, it showed positive results in
the petroleum ether seed and stem extracts, but were absent in leaf extract of petroleum ether;
flavonoids were present in all four type of extract but absent in petroleum ether leaf extract
and chloroform stem extract; cardiac glycosides were absent in all four type of extracts;
anthraquinones showed up prominently in the ethanolic and methanolic seed extracts, while it
showed negative results in petroleum ether and chloroform extracts in all parts of plants.
Phenols were present in ethanolic and methanolic extract but absent in petroleum ether
extract and chloroform extract all parts of plants.
For the determination of tannin standard procedure was followed by using Folin – Denis
method, the tannin concentration was determined by the standard graph of tannic acid
solution and were expressed as mg/g tannic acid equivalent using standard curve equation y =
0.027x + 0.036, R2 =0.998, where y is absorbance at 700 nm and x is tannin content.

DISCUSSION
The medicinal properties possessed by plants extracts have been exploited by native people
from ancient times.[85] Phytochemicals from medicinal plants generally includes saponins,
tannins anthraquinones, flavonoids, glycosides, etc. Some other examples of disease treating
components of plants include morphine, atropine, codeine, steroids, lactones and volatile oils.
In recent years these bioactive components are used in different forms such as infusions,
syrups, concoctions, decoctions, essential oils, ointments and creams. Many plants have been
investigated in vitro and have shown potential to cure sickle cell disease (SCD). The common
examples are Fagara zanthoxyloides,[86] and Khaya senegalensis.[87] In the emerging world
phytomedicines could be important in the management of SCD. In this context, some of the
plants reported for the management of SCD are M. charantia,[88] Cymbopogon citrates,
Camellia sinensis,[89] Scoparia dulcis,[90] and Aged garlic.[91] Studies on the crude aqueous
extract of Zanthoxylum macrophylla roots were reported to possess anti-sickling
properties.[92]
CONCLUSIONS
In the light of the results of photochemical analysis of the leaves, stem and seeds Helianthus
annus L. we may conclude that the constituents present may possess antisickling properties.
Further research towards preparation of an effective medicine, from the phytochemicals
extracted from plants reported to having antisickling properties, in various concentrations, for
the relief of over 270 million Global Sickle Cell Disease patients during the Crisis Stage
needs to be introduced.
