Abstract

The aim of this study is to perform a pharmacognostic and phytochemical investigation with the characterization of the isolated compounds in the roots of Trichodesma indicum R. Br. In the isolation of the compounds from petroleum ether and benzene extracts of the roots of Trichodesma indicum, the presence of phytosterol compounds in the petroleum ether extracts was identified. The column chromatography yielded three compounds, namely A, B, and C, in the petroleum ether extract and three compounds, namely D, E, and F, in the benzene extracts. These compounds were characterized by UV, NMR, and IR spectra, along with their physical parameters, and identified as phytosterols. It was found that the root extract showed the presence of various constituents in this study of successive solvent extraction. Petroleum ether and benzene extracts were found to contain fixed oils and lipids. The ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the roots of Trichodesma indicum proved the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Trichodesma indicum has a very good antioxidant effect due to the presence of phytosterols and phenolic compounds, which can be supportive of boosting immune supplements.
