When the parts of the plant, which are rich in different phytochemical constituents, are consumed by humans, they can cure different diseases. Phytochemicals from Santalum album plant extract are traditionally used to cure Jaundice. Molecular docking method applied using “Biovia Discovery Studio”. “High positive values of -CDOCKER energy and -CDOCKER interaction energy” suggested that Isohamnetin can effectively deactivate the enzyme, thereby interrupting the life cycle of the organism. Keywords: Phytochemical; Santalum album; Jaundice. 1. INTRODUCTION Nature is a major source of medicines [1]. The medicinal value of the plants is due to the phytochemicals present in it. Phytochemicals can be derived from different parts of plants. Different medicinal plants and their phytoextracts have shown anti-microbial action [2]. These medicinal plants play a key role in human health care. Many people rely on the use of traditional Original Research Article
