Phytochemical Screening And Immunomodulatory Activity Evaluation Of The Couroupita Guianensis Aubl. Flowers

The study shows the presence of phytochemicals and the immunomodulatory potential of Couroupita guianensis Aubl. flowers. Phytochemical analysis analyzed and showed many biological substances, including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, and saponins, these phytochemicals are the key substances for immunomodulation. Elemental analysis was done for the assessment of the composition of elements present in it to support the study with evidence of the presence of Chromium, Copper, Iron, and Manganese which contributed to immunomodulatory activities. For nutrient composition assessment of Couroupita guianensis Aubl. Flowers, Proximate analysis was performed which also showed the presence of moisture content, ash, protein, fat, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). Further, for the assessment of immunomodulatory activity in-vitro techniques such as the MTT assay was performed which correlated based on cell immunomodulation will have an impact on cell viability and cytotoxicity. The results were promising and the floral extract had strong immunomodulatory effects, such as increased cell proliferation. These studies suggest that Couroupita guianensis flowers exhibit immunomodulatory abilities, which could be linked to the numerous chemical components present in it. This study demonstrates the therapeutic potential of Couroupita guianensis flowers in strengthening the immune system and supports further research into the creation of novel immunomodulators.
