Abstract
Medicinal plants possess pharmacological effect due to the presence of bioactive compounds. The target of this presence study is find out the bioactive chemical constituents and to evaluate anti proliferative effect and also analyze the larvicidal effect of methanolic and aqueous extract of dried leaves of canavalia virosa. The preliminary study shows this plant contains the presence of secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phytosteroids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and coumarins. This research reports methanolic extract of canavalia virosa shows antiproliferative activity effect against Sk- Mel 2 cells. The larvicidal activity of canavalia virosa was performed against the 4th instar larvae of anopheles mosquitoes. The larvicidal mortality was observed after 48hours of plant extract exposure. This is an ecofriendly approach for mosquitoes control measure. The results of this present study shows the plant has potential effect against mosquitoes and has antiproliferative effect.
