Abstract | ||||
In this study, the phytochemical analysis of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata have been studied. Avicennia marina leaves, seeds, flowers, stems and Rhizophora mucronata leaves indicate the presence of, Steroids, Tannins, Glycosides, Carbohydrates Saponnins, Sterols, Terpenoids and Phenol. In the GC-MS analysis, ten bioactive photochemical compounds were identified in the ethyl acetate extract of Avicennia marina leaves seeds, flowers, stems and Rhizophora mucronata leaves. The Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata revealed the presence of medicinal active constituents by GC-MS. This study also helped to identify the formula and structure of bimolecular therapy which can be used as drugs. | ||||
