Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was aimed to examine the phytochemical constituents present in the tuber of P.forskohlii. The preliminary phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of various secondary metabolites like alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, phenolic, glycosides, amino acids, flavonoids and terpenoids. The GC-MS analysis determined the presence of seventy four different phytochemical compounds in methanolic extract of tuber of P.forskohlii. FT-IR results proved the presence of amides, aldehydes, alkene, alkyl halide, alcohol and aromatic compounds which shows major peaks at 3321.22, 2926.12, 1643.16, 1450.09, 1019.71, 578.74, 568.90 and 556.95 respectively. The results of the present study help to enhance the usage of P.forskohlii for its medicinal uses which is greatly depends on the diversified chemical substances present in the tuber of P.forskohlii
