Phytopharmacy Research

The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the existence of various secondary metabolites with
varied percentage. Among the four different extracts of Martynia annua L. aerial parts, ethanolic extract showed
the presence of maximum number (10/13) of compounds. The powdered drugs are evaluated for its physicochemical parameters like total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash and moisture content

Hyperlipidemia is the condition in which it shows increased serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol,
triglycerides or both triglycerides & TC. The term dyslipidaemia may include low levels of LDL cholesterol. Hyperlipidaemia
leads to high risk of cardio vascular disease. Whereas, HDL cholesterol gives protection. CHD(coronary heart disease) risk
increases and it shows the ratio of TC(total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol) rise. The study of investigation, the 70% ethanolic
extract of Cuminum cyminum seeds has active constituents’ alkaloids, flavanoids steroids and vitamins. From the study of
investigation the extact of Cuminum cyminum seeds 250mg/kg show statically significant compare to the control group and
reduces the body weight. After the bioanlyisis of serum of the animals shows the significant effect or decreases in the
levels of cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides compare to the hyperlipidemic rats. However statically significant value produces
the active constituents of Cuminum cyminum seeds. So, the Cuminum cyminum have anti hyperlipidemic activity
