Isolation And Identification of Flavonoids from Madhuca Indica (Sapotaceae): A Comprehensive Phytochemical Analysis

Abstract

Madhuca indica is a forest tree that grows in Malaysia and central and northern India. It is frequently seen in Bangladesh and other regions of the Indian subcontinent. These parts are used to treat a wide range of illnesses, including infestations of the helm, low testosterone count, headaches and migraines bloating, infections, rheumatic arthritis, cholera, paralysis, snakebite, debility, tonsillitis, influenza, piles, arthritic pain, and bacterial infections. They are also used as a purifying blood and an antidote to a poisonous substance

In current flavonoids contained in Madhuca indica aerial parts were extracted, identified and characterized. Sequential Soxhlet extraction was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening and flavonoid quantification. The results showed that maximum yield of the flavonoid content (% w/w) were obtained from ethyl acetate extract. This ethyl acetate extract was subjected to column chromatography for isolation of flavonoid. Characterization of isolated flavonoid was done by UV, IR, 1H NMR and MS. On the basis of chemical and spectral analysis structure were elucidated as quercetin, rutin apigenin and naringenin flavonoid.
