T H Nazeema and Girija

In the present study, comparative phytochemical screening was conducted between the ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Jatropha curcas and Jatropha gossypifolia in order to detect the presence of major class of chemical compounds. Comparative antioxidant activity of both the plants was performed using nitric oxide scavenging as well as reducing power assays. An attempt has been made to review the In-vitro cytotoxicity of medicinal plants Jatropha curcas and Jatropha gossypifolia on HeLa cell lines which will be certainly useful for the prevention and treatment of cancers.
