PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING, FUNCTIONAL GROUPS AND ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TYLOPHORA PAUCIFLORA WIGHT AND ARN
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Plants and plant-based medicines are the basis of many of the modern pharmaceuticals we use today for our various ailments. The aim of the study was to find out the bioactive chemical constituents and to analyze the various functional groups of the ethanolic extract of Tylophora pauciflora. A qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed for the detection of alkaloids, glycosides, Terpenoids, steroids, Flavonoid, tannins and reducing sugar. FTIR was applied and IR spectrum in mid infrared region 4000–400 cm–1 was used for discriminating and to identify various functional groups present in the medicinal plant. Generally Tylophora genus has been used in the Ayurvedic system for the treatment of various diseases. The present findings indicated the presence of amino acids, amides, amines, carboxylic acid, carbonyl compounds, organic hydrocarbons, halogens in ethanolic extract of Tylophora pauciflora. The trace element composition of Tylophora pauciflora was determined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (EDX). The Concentrations of C, O, Mg, Si, S, Cl, K and Ca were measured.
