Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
The medicinal plant is the greatest high-class foundation of life redeemable drugs for the mainstream of the flora and fauna population. They bear to be a significant beneficial support for improving the illnesses of the humanoid. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has belonged family Malvaceae. It grows in warm temperate, topical, and semi-tropical climates.

It improves blood circulation, liver disorders, constipation. The aim of this study is to determine the phytochemical properties of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis the flower (Petals) using ethanol extracts and antioxidant activity collected from Islamabad, area. Phytochemical screening of ethanol extracts of the flower (Petals) was tested for the presence of phytochemical constitutes by standard procedures followed by Debela, 20021. Antioxidant screening of ethanol extracts of the flower was tested by Uddin N, 2011 method.[8] Results showed that Tannins, Saponins, Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Sterol, Glycosides, Flavonoids presented in ethanol extracts of the flower (Petals). Ethanol extracts of the flower (Petals) show antioxidant activity. In conclusion, the phytochemical examination of the therapeutic plants is critical and has business enthusiasm for both research Center and pharmaceuticals organizations for the assembling of the new medications for treatment of different infections. Additionally ponder are expected to research singular phytochemical compound of the blossom of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and recognizable proof and auxiliary assurance of novel antioxidants fusions will prompt the advancement of therapeutics from these plants.
