Phytochemical analysis was done by using the standard procedures. Aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; was used for synthesis of Zn nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible spectrometry and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxicity studies of Zn nanoparticles were done by MTT assay using HeLa cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The preliminary phytochemical results revealed that the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; contains broad spectrum of secondary metabolites like Tannins, Saponins, Glycosides, Flavonoids, Anthroquinones, Terpenoids and Steroids. The U.V spectrophotometeric analysis of Zn nanoparticles displayed maximum absorption at 270 nm and scanning electron microscopic studies showed that the nanoparticles size ranges from 50-500 nm. The MTT assay results revealed that the of Zn nanoparticles exhibits potent cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 45.82 &amp;mu;g/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Thus the present study concludes that Zn nanoparticles can be used as a potent drug in alternative therapy for treating the cervical cancer patients.&lt;/p&gt;

It is also effective in the treatment of leprosy. It is also used as a laxative for patients having hemorrhoids and in the treatment of coughs, puerperal disease, urinary disorders, chronic dysentery and fever. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Air-dried powdered leaves of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; were initially extracted with DCM-methanol (1:1) to afford a crude extract which was fractionated on a silica gel column to afford four fractions. The first fraction which showed antimycobacterial activity was further chromatographed in a silica gel column to afford bioactive fractions from which four compounds were obtained. The crude extract, fractions and isolated compounds were screened for their inhibitory effect against &lt;em&gt;Mycobacterium tuberculosis&lt;/em&gt; H&lt;sub&gt;37&lt;/sub&gt;Rv (ATCC) using the colorimetric Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The fractions obtained after silica gel chromatography of the crude DCMmethanol (1:1) revealed the first fraction (MIC=64 mg/mL) to exert the highest inhibition against &lt;em&gt;M. tuberculosis&lt;/em&gt; H&lt;sub&gt;37&lt;/sub&gt;Rv. Further separation of this fraction afforded sub-fractions with moderately strong inhibitory activity against the test organism (MIC up to 64 mg/mL). Chromatographic purification of sub-fraction 1 afforded four compounds which were spectroscopically identified as &amp;beta;-amyrin 3-palmitate (1), squalene (2) and a 1:1 mixture of the sterols &amp;beta;-sitosterol (3) and stigmasterol (4). Evaluation of the antimycobacterial activity of 1&amp;ndash;4 showed insignificant inhibitory activity against the test organism (MIC = &amp;gt;128 mg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present results demonstrate the potential of &lt;em&gt;Abutilon indicum&lt;/em&gt; as a plant source of compounds that may exhibit promising antituberculosis activity. While the known compounds isolated for this plant did not show antimycobacterial activity, the obtained results are considered sufficient reason for further study to isolate the metabolites from &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; responsible for the antitubercular activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Abutilon indicum&lt;/em&gt;, Malvaceae, antitubercular, squalene, &amp;beta;-amyrin 3-palmitate, &amp;beta;-sitosterol, stigmasterol.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allan Patrick G.
