Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of bioactive constituents of a plant is necessary for determination of potential pharmacological activity. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the petroleum ether, chloroform and methanolic extract of Ageratina adenophora leaves were performed. A. adenophora, also called Eupatorium adenophorum, belongs to the family Asteraceae and it is an invasive species in many tropical and subtropical countries, including northeastern India, China, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria. The plant has high reproductive capacity which is partly due to the well-developed root system. From the roots, important bioactive compounds such as benzofuran derivatives, chromene derivative and a monoterpene glucoside and sesquiterpenoid have been identified. Qualitative phytochemical analysis in the present study revealed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, xanthoprotein, glycosides, tannins, steroids and terpenoids. Quantification of the total tannins, total alkaloids and total phenols were determined for the methanolic extracts of the leaves. High amount of tannins and phenols was detected.
