Abstract
Abstract: The present study deals with the phytochemical aspects of Tinospora formanii. Crude leaf extracts were prepared with different solvents such as hexane, chloroform, methanol, and water using a Soxhlet apparatus. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical studies and GC-MS analysis of leaf extracts have been carried out. Phytochemical studies showed that methanol leaf extract showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, sterols, phytosterols, terpenoids, Tannins, saponins, glycosides, carbohydrates Anthraquinones, coumarins, Amino acids. Quantitative estimation showed that the methanol leaf extract exhibited a high flavonoid (74.25±0.885), phenol (57.22±0.135), and alkaloid (49.11±0.356) content. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis identified compounds such as 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol, Humulen-[V1], Tridecene, Flavone, 9-hexadecenoic acid, Heptadecanoic acid, 1-Tricosene. The recorded phytocompounds are identified as bioactive constituents. The isolation of these bioactive compounds from T. formanii methanol leaf extract and their further studies in vivo animal models may lead to the development of new drugs.
