The
present study investigates the phytochemical composition of the ethanolic
extract of Habb-e-Azaraqi, a traditional herbal formulation. The aim was to
identify the presence of various bioactive compounds and evaluate their
potential therapeutic significance. Preliminary phytochemical screening
indicated the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, phenols, and
proteins. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed functional
groups such as alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, aldehydes, and aromatics.
Atomic absorption spectrometry quantified trace amounts of heavy metals at
concentrations of 0.2644 ppm, 0.3960 ppm, and 0.00113 ppm. High-Performance
Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the presence of bioactive components, while
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified 94
phytochemical compounds including 2-propanone, guanethidine, and
naphthalene-sulfonic acid. These findings support the medicinal value of
Habb-e-Azaraqi and provide a scientific basis for its traditional use.
