Antioxidant Activity Determining Catechol Grouping Flavonol Glycosides from the Flowers of Aconitum hetrophyllum
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Aconitum hetrophyllum (family, Ranunculaceae) is native to high reaches of Kumaun Himalaya. The extracts derived from the plant, Aconitum hetrophyllum have widely been used as a traditional medicines to cure diseases associate inflammations, cardiovascular, neuro-degenerative and other ailments, microbial, bronchitis and joint pains. Various biological activities, anti-inflammatory, anticarcerogenic, anti-spasmolytic and anti-microbial have been identified from the aqueous extracts of the plant. Although the principle biological active compound, aconite a ditertepenoid alkaloid and its various derivatives have previously been isolated from the plant. Recognizing an enormous traditional medicinal uses of the plant, the aqueous-methanolic extract derived from its flowers was investigated for antioxidative potential and activity bearing flavonol glycosides. The catechol-grouping flavonoids, a highly antioxidant active compounds, were isolated.
