Due to katu rasa it acts as kaphashamaka and pittahara due to sheeta veerya. Lavanga contains most of various secondary metabolites with great potentials. Materials &Methods Aims & objectives: The aim to study is to evaluate organic and inorganic screening and Quantitative analysis of alkaloids of stem and root extract of lavanga. Qualitative analysis like phytochemical screening and inorganic screening were carried out and physico chemical screening with standard techniques. Quantitative analysis like quantification of alkaloids were estimated by Harborne method. Results: Qualitative organic and inorganic screening showed the presence of carbohydrates, saponin, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, glycoside in aqueous extract, alkaloids, proteins and amino acids, Quinone and glycoside are present in ethanolic extract. Inorganic elemental analysis shows presence of calcium, Iron, sodium are appreciated in the stem and root of lavanga extract. Quantification of alkaloids shown 24.2 % of alkaloids presence. Conclusion: Lavanga stem& root extract shows many compounds in aqueous extract than alcoholic extract and higher alkaloids presence in stem and root of lavanga & justifies their uses for human health benefit |
