Abstract
Plants have basis of many traditional medicines throughout the world for thousands of years and continue to provide new remedies to mankind. Keeping in view, present study to investigate the phytochemicals and HPLC analysis of Commelina maculata leaves extract. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of aqueous and methanol extract of Commelina maculata leaves showed the presence of tannin, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, triterpenoids, anthroquinonesm Coumarins and polyphenol in both extract while emodins, anthocyanins were absent in aqueous extract. Alkaloids and anthocyanins were present only methanol extract. Quantitative analysis revealed that methanolic extract of Commelina maculata contain significant amount of total phenol, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannin and saponin. Among the two extract, methanol extract has rich source of phytochemicals were found. HPLC profiles of Commelina maculata were analysed and four phenolic compounds are Gallic Acid, Hypersoide, Catechol and Delphinidin -3-O-retinoside. The present study provides evidence that ethanol extract of Commelina maculata leaves contains medicinally important bioactive compounds and this justifies the use of plant species as a traditional medicine for treatment of various diseases.
