Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Andrographis paniculata is one of the medicinally important plant belonging to the family of Acanthaceae which is widely used for the traditional medicine of diseases. The present study attempts to evaluate the phytochemicals and fatty acids composition from stems of Andrographis paniculata. The presence of some phytochemicals like alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids explained the medicinal action of the plant encountered in its therapeutic uses. The fatty acid compositions of the petroleum ether extract of stems of this plant were determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer. Ten compounds were identified and the major constituent was methyl palmitate (54.22%).
