الملخص

Trillium govanianum is an important recently explored commercial medicinal plant. The present research deals with phytochemical screening and antioxidant studies of root, stem and leaves of T. govanianum. Antioxidant activity of ethanol, methanol and distilled water extract of root, stem and leaves of this plant was also examined. It was found that all parts of the plant possessed pronounced antioxidant activity. The highest activity was found for ethanol leaf extract with lowest IC50 value. Phytochemical screening revealed that plant contains tannins, saponines, terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, quinin and flavonoids. This is important tool for the standardization of plant materials, isolation of bioactive principles, screening of phytochemical activities, ensuring the quality of formulation and also useful to distinguish it from its related species.
