ABSTRACT:
Background: In Indian medical treatments, the extracts from plants and leaves played major role in pharmaceuticals drugs. Objective of the present study is to find the anti-immunodeficiency pills by the herbal solution. Methods: Natural medicine in this is to prepare the anti-immunodeficiency tablet from the neem leaf, guava leaf and the high vitamin content pomegranate leaf. The mixed extract of all three leaf phytochemicals and which can use as an anti-immunodeficiency tablet. To extract the ingredients from the leaves the process of infusion has been followed and then the extract converted to powder as per standard procedure. Result and Conclusion: The produced herbal combinations have been characterized by the FTIR, XRD, FESEM with EDAX (EDS) and antimicrobial testing and the results is analysed.
KEYWORDS: Candida spp., E.coli, Phytochemicals, Infusion, XRD, FTIR, FESEM.
1. INTRODUCTION:
The neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves contain ingredients such as nimbin, nimbanene, 6-desacetylnimbinene, nimbandiol, ascorbic acid, n-hexacosanol and amino acid, 7-desacetyl-7-benzoylazadiradione, 7-desacetyl-7-benzoylgedunin, 17-hydroxyazadiradione, and nimbiol (Hossain M. A, 2011, Robinka Khajuria, 2014, Stefanello M.E.A, 2008) has
been used as traditional folk medicine and also provides many environmental services. In herbal homes, leaves of this plant are used for the treatment of hepatic disorders, hypertension, and diabetes (Oluwatosin Adekunle Adaramoye et.al 2014).
A. heterophyllus exhibit numerous medicinal properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diuretic, and have been useful in the treatment of fever, skin diseases, convulsions, constipation, ophthalmic disorders and snake bite (Shirajummunira et.al 2014, Sureka, R et.al 2019). By this we can understood that the cancer also comes from this immunodeficiency so we overcome this by the using of natural medicine such as herbal medicine because there is solution for all problems in the natural medicine in this to prepare the anti-immunodeficiency tablet we take the neem leaf, guava leaf and the high vitamin content pomegranate leaf. Then extract the phytochemicals and mix all the three leaf phytochemicals and used as an anti-immunodeficiency tablet.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The plant leaves were collected from the Local area of Erode District, India during September. The Collected plant leaves were cleaned with normal water and then rinsed with double distilled water (M. M. Tajkarimi, 2010 and G. G. F. Nascimento,2000). After washing, the material is air-dried at room temperature in a well ventilated room. The dried leaves are grinded to fine powder form.
2.1 Phytochemical extraction:
The ingredient present in the all three leaves has been extracted through the process of infusion, which a method of extraction is concerning boiling the plant material—and percolation, in which water is passed through the material (S. Chanda, 2011 and Ahmad I, 1998). Infusion is a very easy chemical process used with botanicals to dissolve or release their active ingredients in water, oil, or alcohol. In our experiment water has been used as an extracting agent.
2.2 Guava (Psidium Guajava) leaf extraction:
The sample guava leaf is taken 10grams leaves by weighing in the digital weight balance then it is mixed with the one litre distilled water and then it is started infused for 20 minutes for the temperature at 120oC after it is infused allowed to stand for five minutes then it is filtered by the Whatman filter paper and the filtrate and the solution is separated and the solution is taken for further proceedings as per standard procedure.
2.3 Pomegranate (Punica granatum) and neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extraction:
The sample neem leaf is taken as 6grams and the pomegranate leaf 4 grams is taken as 10grams both of them are weighed in the weighing balance for the correct proportion and both of them are mixed with the one litre distilled water and then it is infused for 25 minutes at the temperature of 125oC after it is infused then it is filtered (Biswas K et.al, 2002 and Tarasankar Maity et al, 2012) by the Whatman filter paper and separate the solution and filtrate. The solution is taken for the further proceedings.
2.4 Composition-1 herbal drug compound preparation:
The prepared guava leaf extract solution is taken 150ml of the solution and the mixed neem and pomegranate leaf extract solution is taken as 100ml of the solution. For the proper mixing of the two samples to produce the herbal drug compound we kept in the magnetic stirrer for the 45 hours at the 500rpm.
2.5 Composition-2 herbal drug compound preparation:
The prepared guava leaf extract solution is taken for the amount of 200ml of the solution then from the mixed sample extract such as neem (Jacobson M,1990) and the pomegranate leaf extract solution taken for amount of 150ml of the solution and also they are additionally mixed with the zinc nitrate solution for the 10ml (solution) then it is kept in the magnetic stirrer for the 45 hours at the 550rpm for the production of the new herbal drug compound for the pharmaceutical applications.
2.6 Precipitate formation and separation:
The composition 1 solution is taken after 45 hours stirring and then it is allowed to settle for one day after the precipitate is settled down by the sedimentation technique it settled precipitate is separated from the solution by using the Whatman filter paper and then take the precipitate 1. The composition 2 solutions is taken after stirring it is also allowed to settle the precipitate after they are settled they are filtered by the Whatman filter paper and take the precipitate 2. After that the precipitate has been kept in dryer for 3 hrs at 100oC to remove the moisture present in the samples.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
3.1 XRD analysis of the sample:
In order to find out the main components and their existing phase in the powder, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out on a computer controlled diffractometer (Surendran and Baral, 2018 and Shyam R et. al, 2017). XRD analysis pattern showed the peaks related with the main component for the both samples.

3.2. FTIR analyses of the samples:
FTIR Spectroscopy was conducted to study the existing functional groups present in the samples. The samples were grinded to fine powder and mixed with 200mg of moisture less KBr in a mortar and placed in 10 mm diameter disks, under 10 tons of pressure for FTIR analysis (Saroj Sundar Baral et.al, 2013 and Samer Housheh et.al, 2017). The spectra with the array of 400–4000 cm−1 wave number have been measured. The FTIR spectra of the samples display a number of peaks, signifying the complex nature of the samples. The given table 2 gives the IR peaks observed and its functional groups presents in the samples.

3.3. FESEM with EDAX of the samples:
In order to find out the morphological structure of the samples, the powdered material was analysed by the Scanning electron microprobe images are at 500X magnification. From the micrograph images, it was observed that there is a change in surface morphology for the both samples (Goswami, L et al, 2017). For the sample 1 the structure was in irregular porous structure and for sample 2 it shows that not much of porous. From the EDAX analysis, it is observed that there is a different mass percentage for both the samples.

4. CONCLUSION:
The different types of phytochemicals are extracted from the various types of plants such as neem leaves, guava leaves and pomegranate leaves. Then they are taken as two different samples with different compositions (ratios) and they are stirred and filtered, then filtered precipitate is now mixed with the starch in the two samples at same level to increases the medicinal activities. Then the different types of samples are dried at normal condition then they are further analyzed by the x-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), FESEM with EDAX, these characterization are done and found the high content of zinc, carbon, oxygen and phosphorus and their functional group and structure such as orthorhombic, monoclinic, tetragonal. After in the antimicrobial activity analysis the micro-organisms such as staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, salmonella typhimurium, candida spp., are used and analyzed from this the plant samples are rapidly reacted and kills most micro-organisms and shows the better antimicrobial activity. Then from these we have concluded that the plant samples are made as medicine for immunodeficiency diseases and reduce the risk of this deficiency and increases the healthy life of most peoples and the economic value of health of our world. This may help to serve as selective agent against some of immunodeficiency diseases.
