Abstract
Medicinal plants, herbs, spices and herbal remedies are integral components of alternative system of medicine since times immemorial. Stylosanthesfruticosa. is a potential folklore medicinal plant (Fabacea) used for Aurveda and Siddha systems of medicine. In this study Alkaloid, Carbohydrate and Glycoside, Saponin, Protein & Amino acid, Phenolic compounds & Flavonoids and Phytosterols were identified as the major phytochemical constituents in the ethanol fractions of Stylosanthes fruticosa leafextract. Their structures were elucidated, on the basis of GC-MS data . (2R,3R)-4-methyl-2,3-epoxypentan-1-ol(9.26%),1-Cyclohexyl-2,2-difluoro-4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)-4-iodobutanone(9.26%),9-(Tetrahydropyran-2''-yl)-6-[2'-phenyl-',4',5',6''-tetrapropylphenyl]-9H-purine(9.26%) these different active phytochemicals have been found to possess a wide range of activities. In conclusion Stylosanthes fruticosa contains biologically active compounds that may serve as candidate for the discovery of new drugs in the treatment of antimicrobial activities.
Highlights
Medicinal plants are of great importance to the health of individuals and communities
Medicinal plants are atinterest to the field of biotechnology, as most of the drug industries depend in part on plants forthe production of pharmaceutical compounds.6 1.1 Morphological Description: Stylosanthes fruticosa (Family Fabacea) commonly known as Wild Lucerne
The filtrate is concentrated by bubbling nitrogen gas into the solution and reduce the volume to 1ml.The extract contains both polar and non-polar phyto components. 2.3 GC-MS Analysis: The GC-MS analysis of Stylosanthes fruticosa powder leaves extract with in absolute alcohol, was performed using a Clarus 500 Perkin Elmer gas chromatography equipped with a Elite-5 capillary column (5% phenyl 95% dimethyl polysiloxane) (30nm X 0.25mm ID X 0.25μmdf) and mass detector turbomass gold of the company which was operated in EI mode
Summary
Medicinal plants are of great importance to the health of individuals and communities. The most important of these bioactive constituentsof plants are alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and phenoliccompounds 1. Many of these indigenousmedicinal plants are used as spices and food plants.They are sometimes added to foods meant forpregnant and nursing mothers for medicinal purposes[2]. Medicinal plants are atinterest to the field of biotechnology, as most of the drug industries depend in part on plants forthe production of pharmaceutical compounds.6 1.1 Morphological Description: Stylosanthes fruticosa (Family Fabacea) commonly known as Wild Lucerne. Stylosanthes fruticosa is much sought after by all kinds of livestock and is grazed heavily by stock in the Sudan and Tanzania (Skerman, 1970) This stylo is suitable for the rehabilitation of fallow land.[10] Analgesic activity has been reported.11The present investigation deals with extraction of essential biological active compounds. This study will help to design the new drugs for many incurable drugs
