Characterization of Alkaloid and Flavonoid Bioactive Compounds in Methanolic Root Extract of Napoleona imperialis
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Napoleona imperialis is used in folk medicine for the healing of wounds and treatment of hypertension.Due to an increasing demand for chemical diversity in screening programmes,seeking therapeutic drugs from natural products,interest particularly inedible plants has grown throughout the world.Herbal preparations for medicinal usage contain various types of bioacti ve compounds.this paper is therefore aimed at identifying the constituent alkaloids and flavonoids in methane extract of N.imperialis root.Gas chromatographic technique was used used for this assay.Result for flavonoid compounds shows Epicatechin (0.85±0.11µg/m) having significantly higher concentration than Quercetin (0.50±0.01µg/ml) with a neglible concentration of Naringerin , Rutin and Kempferol. Lunamarine (0.95±0.2µg/ml) was significantly higher than Ribalinidine(0.04±0.00µg/ml). for alkaloids.The presence of these bioactive compounds especially flavonoids that serves as antioxidants could provide a rationale for the ethnomrdical use of N.imperialis in wound healing and as an antihypertensive agent.
