Qualitative Analysis of Crude Extract from the Leaves of <i>Cassia occidentalis</i>

Medicinal plants have intrinsic antioxidant qualities that these items use to enhance health, prevent sickness, and prolonged life expectancy. In this study, a preliminary study of qualitative analysis was performed in crude extracts of leaf extracts of Cassia occidentalis using various solvent on the basis of polarity. The data obtained in the in vitro models clearly establish the antioxidant potency of leaf extracts of Cassia occidentalis. In the present study we have used aqueous extract of the leaves, followed by the methanolic, disteled water and petroleum ether extracts, respectively. We have reported the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, phenols, tannins, phytosterols, and flavonoids through a series of standard tests. The study provides substantial evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of Cassia extract, as sources of various natural antioxidants and anticancer agents. The exploration of these plant extract could potentially lead to the development of new, effective, and natural therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases, particularly those related to oxidative stress and cancer.
