Phytoconstituents analysis of hydroalcoholic root extract of premna integrifolia L.: An important ingredient of herbal formulation dashamula

Abstract

Hydroalcoholic extract of root of Premna integrifolia was analyzed for polyphenol content and antioxidant potential because it is an important ingredient of widely used herbal medicine Dashamula. This extract is enriched with polyphenol with good antioxidant activity. Chemo profiling of this extract using GCMS confirmed the presence of several valuable terpenoids such as lanugone A, podocarp-12-en-14-ol, ferruginol, sandaracopimaradien-18-al, communic acid and (-) β caryophyllene epoxide. The anti oxidative property of the extract might be due to presence of these several terpenoids. Further it needs isolation of these valuable terpenoids for bioactivity studies. © 2020, Research Trend. All rights reserved.
