Phytochemical analysis of Caesalpinia crista leaf extracts and evaluation of their antiasthmatic potential

This study aimed to examine the phytochemical composition and antiasthmatic effects of chloroform, methanol, and aqueous leaves extract of Caesalpinia crista L. (CC) using five experimental animal models. The bioactive compounds such as fatty acids, esters, ketones, dicarboxylic acids, and sugars were identified in CC leaves through qualitative phytochemical tests and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, while functional groups including alcohols/amines, aliphatic hydrocarbons,
