Abstract

In the traditional system of medicines, plants are the primary source for treatment of various ailments. This study focuses on the possibility of the health benefits of seeds from Michelia champaca L. The seeds were subjected to qualitative and quantitative tests and observed to contain a wide range of phytochemicals. The extracts were obtained by maceration and qualitative and quantitative tests were performed. These tests revealed the presence of six phytochemicals. Further, the identification and validation of these phytochemicals from the seeds of Michelia champaka L. was carried out by using in-silico techniques. This was initiated by using SwissADME and Toxtree softwares. The SwissADME software predicted dodecanoic acid, 1-methylethyl ester as a more potent phytochemical as it satisfied several crucial parameters of lead likeliness. Whereas analysis from the Toxtree software, four compounds i.e. hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 12,15- octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester dodecanoic acid 1- methylethyl ester, 7,10 octadecadienoic acid methyl ester was predicted to be less toxic. The presence of chemical compounds in the seeds contributes to their medicinal properties, offering insight into the interaction between various bioactive components and the human body. This study highlights the need to reconsider the potential of Michelia champaca L. seeds, as they are a valuable source of bioactive compounds with significant potential for drug development and nutritional improvement. Consequently, the findings underscore the pharmacological promise of Michelia champaca L. and emphasize the importance of exploring underutilized natural resources for their potential health benefits in functional foods and medicine.
