Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
‘Preliminary phytochemical analysis of successive extracts, fluorescence analysis and HPTLC of C. macleodiileaves has been planned in the current study.’ The extracts of the dried coarse powdered of C. macleodii leaves obtained using different polarities solventsin succession were tested for the presence of various active phytoconstituents. Fluorescence analysis was investigated andunsaponifiable fraction of petroleum ether extract was also observed forchromatographic evaluations. The outcome suggest that the existence of various dynamic phytoconstituents having particular solubility in selected solvents of different polarities used in succession. The fluorescent analysis under the visible and UV light by treatment of diverse chemical reagents showed diverse colours. HPTLC profile of unsaponifiable fraction showed 10 and 3 spots at 254 nm and 366 nm radiation respectively. After spraying with diluted H2SO4, it showed 5 and 6 spots at 254 nm and 366 nm radiations respectively. The presence of active constituents in different polarities solvent, which were used in progression suggesting the significance of the solvent as a conclusive factor. Further the data suggests that, the successive extractions using Petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water solvents of different polarities would maximize the exploitation of the diverse bioactive compounds. Study concluded that it would be help to isolate and characterize the different pharmacologically dynamic principles of the C. macleodii such as mouth sores, treating jaundice, hepatoprotective and also as an aphrodisiac. It shows their importance for supporting their claimed uses and biological activities such as wound healing.
