PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PYRROSIA LANCEOLATA (L.) FARWELL
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Pyrrosia lanceolata (L.) Farwell. was well-known as medicinal fern for skin disease and sore throat from ancient times in various literatures. There is no any report regarding the study of this plant earlier and hence it was designed to explore the secondary metabolites present in this lower plant Pyrrosia lanceolata (L.) Farwell. The plant parts such as frond and rhizome were treated with various solvents like water, ethanol, benzene, chloroform, petroleum ether and DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide). 80 % of the solvent extracts were used for separating the secondary metabolites by using standard phytochemical techniques. All extracts from frond and rhizome of P. lanceolata (L.) Farwell, showed the presence of the following secondary bio constituents such as flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols, anthroquinones, catechins, glycosides and fixed oils and fats. The presence of specific bioactive compounds in this plant is under study now. Thus this work definitely opens a new avenue for the bio active compounds which has higher medicinal values and could be used for the treatment of many diseases in future.
