Abstract
The present study involves phytochemical screening and analysis of medicinal plant. Plant parts of Anthurium andraeanum (root, stem, leaf, flower and seed) were subjected to screen phytochemical constituents and the results revealed that this plant possess the phytochemicals such as phlobatannins, steroids, phenols and saponins. The plant parts were extracted individually and subjected for antimicrobial activities. Result revealed that this sample was effective against various pathogenic bacteria. The bioactive compound was purified by using silica gel chromatography and thin layer chromatography. The high performance liquid chromatography purified sample was found to be effective against the tested cell lines (Hep G2, A549 and MCF7). Gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometer analysis revealed the presence of anticancer compounds such as 2,3-dihydro-benzofuran and stigmasta-5,20(22)-dien-3-ol.
