Abstract

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.
