Abstract
Anisomeles indica Kuntze (A. indica) is among the most common aromatic plants with a heritage of being employed as an ethnomedicinal potential. The therapeutic efficacy of the plant is well known for being antioxidant, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory attributes. In this present study, solvent extraction was carried out by employing the soxhlet extraction method. The phytoconstituents analysis revealed the variation and diversification in the phytochemical content at the qualitative level. The phytochemical screening investigation of A. indica explores the occurrence of flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, phenolics, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, carbohydrates, and proteins. A. indica extracts were employed for TLC analysis and further employed to ascertain its biological activity, such as anti-inflammatory and thrombolytic activity. Among all extracts (methanol, hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate), the methanol extract of A. indica exhibits potent anti-inflammatory activity and also showed significant thrombolytic activity.
