Chemical Composition, Phytochemical Screening and Anti-Insecticidal Activity of Aqueous and Ethanolic of Solenostemma argel Extracts

At the present work extraction, fractionation, phytochemical screening, chemical composition and anti-insecticidal activity of stems of aqueous and ethanolic of Solenostemma argel (S. argel) extracts were studied. The results obtained showed that S. argel contains different medicinal species such as phytosterols, triterpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins. All fractions of the stems of Solenotemma argel were tested against the activity of third larvae of Tribolium castaneum. Among these, the ethyl acetate extract of ethanolic extract showed high activity.
