STUDIES ON THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PHYTOCHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF ALBIZIA CHEVALIERI'S LEAVES, ROOT AND STEM BARK
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCED MEDICINE - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Plants have served human beings as natural source for treatments and therapies from ancient times to date; amongst them medicinal herbs which have gain attention because of its wide use and less side effects. In the present study, phytochemical analysis of A. chevalieri was carried out as this plant have been proved to be one of the important medicine for the treatment of ailments like malaria, diabetes, diarrhea, and dysentery. Phytochemical analysis was carried out for the three Arial parts of the plant extracted with three different solvents (methanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane). Qualitative analysis showed that methanol extracted almost all the secondary metabolites in all the three Arial parts of the plant. After quantication, it was observed that methanol stem bark extract was having the highest phenolic contents (44.83μg/GAE/g), followed by methanol Root extract (38.89 μg/GAE/g), and methanol leave extract (22.00 μg/GAE/g). Root ethyl acetate extract (8.19 μg GAE/g), stem bark ethyl acetate extract (13.49 μg GAE/g), and leaves ethyl acetate extract (23.66 μg GAE/g), while n-hexane extracts were having a very low phenolic content with; n- hexane root (0.66 μg GAE/g), n-hexane stem bark extract (2.69 μg GAE/g), and n-hexane leaves extract (7.80 μg GAE/g). The presence of high amount of phytochemical compounds suggest that A. chevalieri plant has high medicinal value and can be carefully studied to extract the natural compounds which are benecial to human beings and that could be commercialized for higher production than using synthetic drugs with side effects.
