Abstract
Causonis trifolia,
a vining herb traditionally utilized in numerous therapeutic systems, is of
interest from a scientific perspective due to the potential to have
pharmacological activity. The isolation, extraction, and primary
pharmacological analysis of alkaloids present in Causonis trifolia are
discussed in this paper. Alkaloids, due to their multiplicity of biological
activities, were isolated using the standardized solvent procedure and further
subjected to study by phytochemical screening tests as well as by
chromatography. The isolated alkaloid fractions were examined for antimicrobial,
anti-inflammatory, as well as cytotoxic activities in vitro and in
vivo. The results showed high biological activity in the
alkaloid-preponderant extracts, vindicating the local use of the plant and
showing potential for further pharmacological research. The work adds to the
knowledge of Causonis trifolia as a good source of bioactive compounds
and highlights the importance of full characterization and mechanistic
investigations in order to more fully realize its therapeutic potential from
its alkaloid components.
