Abstract :
Bioactive compounds are non-nutritive, essential metabolites used to cure diseases and play a vital role in the preparation of natural drugs. Characterization of plant compounds in unexplored and less explored plant paves way for drug preparation and natural medicines. The main objectives of the present study the in vitro preliminary phytochemical activity of aqueous and methanol extract of Cucumis sativus peel. The results showed that the phytochemical screening of aqueous extract of Cucumis sativus peel revealed the presence of phytoconstituents namely alkaloid, carbohydrate, flavonoid, steroid, terpenoid, tannin, quinone, phenols and absence the bioactive compounds namely saponin and glycosides when compared to methanol extract showed the presence of bioactive compounds namely carbohydrate, flavonoid, tannin, quinone, phenols and the absence of alkaloid, saponin and glycosides were respectively. Cucumber is used as a vegetable food, with their various therapeutic applications against specific ailments as explained in the traditional ayurvedic medicines. This plant is rich in their nutritional properties and medicinal application against many disorders including cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. Still, there are many more secrets need to be discovered about its phytoconstituents and their pharmacological effect through further researches, such as isolation of bioactive and their preclinical and clinical studies.
