A Comprehensive Review on Parthenium Hysterophorous Whole Plant

Abstract

Conducting a thorough investigation into the phytochemical makeup of Parthenium hysterophorus involved a systematic approach, encompassing the collection of plant material, extraction, and isolation of bioactive compounds. Differential solubility yielded varied results, with the methanolic extract proving to be the most effective. Spectrum analysis confirmed the successful separation of chemical components, paving the way for exploring the therapeutic potential of these compounds. Utilizing advanced spectroscopic techniques, four bioactive compounds Parthenin, Dacousterol, 3, 7 dimethyl quercetagetin, and Stigmasterol were isolated and characterized. These compounds exhibit diverse structural features, suggesting broad therapeutic applications and positioning them as promising candidates for novel therapeutic agents. The research underscores the dynamic nature of natural product exploration and emphasizes the need for sustained efforts to uncover additional bioactive compounds from Parthenium hysterophorus. In summary, the isolation and characterization of these compounds significantly contribute to phytochemical research, highlighting the enduring importance of natural products in the search for new therapeutic agents.
