Abstract:
Natural products have been an integral part of ancient traditional medicine systems. The main objective of the study was to investigate the various phytochemical constituents of Datura (Datura metel) extracts using the laboratory method. The qualitative phytochemical screening of Datura metel aqueous extracts indicated the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, saponins, tannins, and glycosides. The presence of these secondary metabolites plays a major role in its antifungal and antimicrobial properties.
