Indian medicinal plant, Coscinium fenestratum-a new bio source for the multifunctional bio active molecule-ecdysterone.
International Journal of Herbal Medicine · 2015 · Vol. 3(1) · pp. 5–9
Abstract
Phytochemical investigation on Coscinium fenestratum (Gaertn.) Collebr, an important Ayurvedic plant, revealed the presence of significant amounts of ecdysterone in the stem (0.22%) and leaves (0.12%), in addition to berberine. Ecdysterone was characterized using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS). Isolation of this multifunctional bioactive compound will throw light on the chemical basis for the various pharmacological effects of Coscinium plant extract.
