Medicinal compound extraction from the whole body of Cynodon Dactylon (L.) Pers. by using green solvents

Cynodon Dactylon (L.) Pers. is a common perennial grass which are abundantly found in most subtropical areas. It has been used as traditional remedies to cure wounds, constipation and diarrhoea. Previous researches, especially in India has proved the existence medicinal compounds in some parts of th...
