Anatomical and Phytochemical Evaluation of Sansevieria roxburghiana Schult. & Schult. F. (Rhizome).
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
In the present study, rhizome of Sansevieria roxburghiana Schult. & Schult. f. (Agavaceae),was evaluated for the preliminary phytochemicals and anatomical characteristics. Petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water were selected as solvents according to increasing order of their polarity. Qualitative analysis of the selected parts confirmed the presence of various primary and secondary plant metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, tannins, fixed oil and quinone. Anatomical studies include cross section and powder of the dried plant material . This study provided referential botanical and phytochemical information for correct identification of the plant. Keywords: rhizome, anatomy, Sansevieria, camera lucida, phytochemical, plant metabolites, powder microscopy.
