ABSTRACT
The present work was conducted to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and to screen the methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of the stem and leaves of Ipomoea carnea (Jarq) for the presence of bioactive compounds. Methanol and ethyl acetate were used as solvents to extract the biocompound according to their polarity. The solvents were used to extract into it by the extraction method at optimized conditions. Crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate content were determined as primary metabolites. The chemical composition in methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of Ipomoea carnea (Jark) revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenoids, protein, amino acids, fixed oils, fats, tannins and cardiac glycosides. This work could be further useful for the structural evaluation and quantification of bioactive compounds for future studies in medical and pharmaceutical fields, and the formation of new drugs in therapeutic field.
