Study of Secondary Metabolites of Aristolochia roxburghiana Klotzsch in Assam, India

Abstract

The present study was aimed to evaluate the presence of major secondary metabolites as well as to determine the total phenols, flavonoids and alkaloids contents in Aristolochia roxburghiana Klotzsch, an ethnomedicinal plant of Assam, India. Methanol extracts of leaves, stem and roots contain all studied compounds. The total alkaloid content (range from 220 to 400 mg/g) was found to be higher in comparison to phenols (ranging 4.48 to 16.65 mg/g) and flavonoids (2.19 to 6.68 mg/g), which is impressive and indicates the potential of the plant species to act as sources of wide range of drugs.
