Abstract

Plants can be considered as rich and renewable biochemical factory. Plants are primary source of medicine and primary health care. Ayurveda, a traditional medicine system, is totally based on the compounds that isolated from plants. A number of phytochemicals is extractable and used as raw material/intermediates for numerous scientific research and development of new valuable compounds. Various plant secondary metabolites are commercially important and utilized for the production of important pharmaceutical compounds. Plant-based herbal products are cost-effective with higher efficacy and lesser toxicity. Beside the different types of saponins, Sapindus species is also a rich source of variety of other phytocompounds such as alkaloids, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids and glycosides. Every part of Sapindus named leaf, fruit, galls, roots stem contains variety of phytochemicals and that is responsible for the various biological activities. In vitro culture of Sapindus species are also containing good amount of these phytochemicals. The extracts of different parts of this plant also showed free radical scavenging, antimicrobial, reducing potential, anticancer, spermicidal, lipid peroxidation inhibition activity, etc.
