- Abstract
Urginea a medicinal herb belongs to family Hyacinthaceae. In the present study, the phytochemical analysis of petroleum ether and methanol extracts of two species of Urginea viz Urginea indica and Urginea wightii bulbs collected from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states were carried out to find the various chemical constituents. The secondary metabolites produced by this medicinal plant are reported to have therapeutic values. The bioactive constituents like alkaloid, carbohydrate, glycoside, flavonoid, phenol, saponin, tannin and terpenoid have been analysed qualitatively in both the species. The quantitative estimation has revealed the highest concentration of terpenoids in methanolic extract of Urginea indica bulb collected from Seethampoondi region, where as flavonoid and alkaloids were found to be high in bulbs collected from Udupi. The petroleum ether extract of Urginea indica from Udupi region showed more flavonoid and alkaloid, while phenol stands next in its concentration. In Urginea wightii, terpenoid was present in higher concentration in methanol extract followed by alkaloids but in petroleum ether extract the alkaloid was present in higher concentration, followed by terpenoids.
