Investigation for determination of therapeutic potential for antitubercular activity with special reference to Caesalpinia crista fruits

In recent years, plant biochemistry has played a significant role due to plantderived 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.
