Phytochemistry of Nerium Oleander L. Root
Keywords:
Nerium Oleander L., alkaloids, trerepenoid.Abstract
The present study revealed that, In Nerium Oleander L. plant roots are present bioactive phytoconstituents. In Apocyanace family of plant majority contains alkaloids and terepenoids. Extraction of phytoconstituents done by hot extraction method using soxhlet apparatus. The methanol extract have 18.20 % extractive value after successive extraction in n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate extractive value 4.01 %, 6.12% and 9.35% respectively. The Brown colored root contains other minor phytoconstituents are stereoid, saponins, polar glycosides, carbohydrates and phenolic compounds. The phytochemical tests are performed for to finding bioactive secondary metabolic compounds. Plant have been reported many pharmaceutical activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antitumor activity.
