Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Most spices, owe their individual properties to the pharmacologically active secondary metabolites that they contain. In this study plant Ajwain (Trachyspermumammi) from North-West Iranwas screened for the presence of major phytochemicalgroups. Three solvent extracts (water, ethanol,ethylacetate) obtained fromAjwain (Trachyspermumammi)traditionally used in the past and even now for various therapeutic effects including fatigue, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal tumorsand especially in local area of Tabriz to cause to heal up the joint pain and loss of appetite.Phytochemical screening of the plant Ajwain (Trachyspermumammi) showed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, teriterpenoids, steroids, tannins, phenolic compounds, coumarins, resins, saponins, oil and fat, inorganic acids and ascorbic acid as major phytochemical groups. Ajwain (Trachyspermumammi) tested negative for the presence of glycosides, starch, amino acids, protein, phelobotanin and free antraquinones and organic acids.
