seed extract
Seed extracts are concentrated substances derived from seeds, often containing bioactive compounds like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenoids.
They are used in pharmacology, traditional medicine, and agriculture for their diverse properties, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antifeedant effects.
Some seed extracts, like those from <b>nux vomica</b> or <b>azadirachta indica</b> (neem), are toxic and have applications as pesticides or rat poison due to compounds like strychnine, brucine, or azadirachtin.
Others, such as Indian snakeroot, are studied for antihypertensive and neuroactive effects.
Neem seed extract is used as a biofertilizer and natural pesticide in sustainable agriculture.
