Abstract

In recent years, plant biochemistry has played a significant role due to plant-derived products' phytochemical details. One of the difficulties of phytochemistry nowadays is performing the aforementioned procedures with limited material due to the wide variety and low yield of phytochemicals. The secondary metabolites found in Caesalpinia crista have a wide range of applications. To better understand the antitubercular properties of Caesalpinia crista, a major medicinal plant, this study examines the most essential compounds in its fruits. Results from both quantitative and phytochemical screening revealed high concentrations of a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, phenols, amino acids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, proteins, terpenoids, and glycosides. Microplate-based Alamar blue assay demonstrates their efficacy against TB. In addition, the results confirmed the presence of antitubercular potential in specific phytochemicals extracted from Caesalpinia crista fruits.
