Abstract

This plant belongs to the Gesneriaceae family. Rhynchoglossum notonianum Wall. wild and developed varieties may be found across the country. The locals call it "kundru." All parts of the plant are historically used to treat different ailments. In Indian folk medicine, the leaves of this plant are used to cure a variety of diseases, including diabetes, wounds, ulcers, inflammation, skin eruptions, fever, asthma, and coughing coughs. They are also used to treat diabetes. Ethanolic extracts were subjected to a qualitative phytochemical screening to investigate the scientific foundation of ethnomedicinal potential. Many phytochemicals, such as glycosides, steroids, flavanoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, were found in different extracts, and this study validated their existence. Wild edible leafy plants with greater phenolic and flavonoid content were found to be major antioxidant sources in this research, according to the evaluation of phytoconstituent. Rhynchoglossum notonianum Wall. was shown to be a rich source of many medicinally significant phytochemicals, which supports its usage as a remedy. Isolation and identification of medicinally useful active biochemical compounds may be accomplished by further investigation of this method.
