Abstract
Phytochemicals may serve as natural supplements in the field of pharmacology to control a variety of infectious diseases due to the diverse ways in which they affect on distinct types of disease. Identifying the particular solvent for the extraction of different phytoconstituents from a crude medication is significant. The crude extract of plant materials, have several benefits and there is a considerable chance of synergism between active components when a whole extract is employed, which can be lost when each of these components is isolated. The kind of medication being used and the solvent used can occasionally have an impact on the chemical makeup of the phytochemical components. Research indicates that these bioactive compounds have a range of beneficial effects on lowering the risk of diseases by reactive oxygen species. Holostemma ada-kodien is traditionally used for anti-diabetic effect, so the present study is to identify the best solvent and best plant part for the effect.
