Abstract

Plant bioactive organic molecules have recently attained enormous importance as a result of their dynamic role and adaptive applications in the treatment of terminal diseases. This study is an attempt to elaborately qualitative & quantitates the bioactive constituents from Garcinia indica. The fruit rinds of plant were collected & subjected to extraction by four different solvents. Further qualitative & quantitative study was performed for all the derived extracts. From the results it was observe that & loss on drying was found to be 57%. The extractive values obtained for solvents Chloroform, Ethyl Acetate, Ethanol & Aqueous were 12.06 %, 1.91 %, 12.3 % & 2.74 %. In case of chloroform extract of Garcinia indica flavonoid, sterol & diterpenes are found to be present. Identical results were obtained for ethyl acetate extract. For ethanolic extract positive results were obtained for carbohydrate, flavonoid, alkaloid, tannin, glycosides, sterol, proteins & diterpenes. Aqueous extract was also enriched with various phytoconstituents except phenol, tannin, lignin, saponin. The Rf value obtained for quercetin was found to be 0.58. The Rf value obtained for all the four extracts were approximately equal to quercetin, this indicates extract contain quercetin along with other class of flavonoids. Total flavonoid for ethanolic, chloroform, ethyl acetate, Aqueous extract as 2.44, 0.77, 1.25 & 1.08 mg/100mg. Also, the alkaloid content was noticed to be highest in ethanolic extract which is 3.14mg/100mg, while for aqueous extract about 2.31mg/100mg of alkaloid content was estimated. From the results it can be interpreted that Garcinia indica contain appreciable quantity of flavonoid & alkaloid which are believed to have therapeutic applications.
