Abstract

The main objectives of this study were to qualitatively evaluate the profile of phytochemical constituents of Elytraria acaulis root (EAR) extracts. The dried powder of the roots of the plant was extracted with three different solvents namely petroleum ether, methanol and water, and subjected to various phytochemical tests and UV-VIS spectrophotometry to ascertain the principal constituents contained in the extracts. The result revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides with various other phytoconstituents in different extracts of Elytraria acaulis roots (EAR). We suggest that various extracts of Elytraria acaulis roots (EAR) might have potential chemical constituents that could be used in the future for the development of novel therapeutic agent.
