claimThe quantitative analysis of Achyranthes aspera L. leaves, Berberis lycium Royle roots, and Vitex negundo L. leaves was performed using UPLC-PDA, which confirmed the presence of polyphenols and flavonoids in their methanolic extracts.

claimResearchers collected leaf and root samples of ten plant species—Achyranthes aspera L., Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa, Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Berberis lycium Royle, Cassia fistula L., Senna tora (L.) Roxb, Senegalia catechu (L.f.) P.J.H.Hurter & Mobb., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook.f. & Thomson, and Vitex negundo L.—from sanctuary areas in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh.

measurementSulphur content in sampled plants was highest in Achyranthes aspera L. (0.37 ± 0.29) and lowest in Senegalia catechu (L.f.) P.J.H.Hurter & Mabb. (0.11 ± 0.01).

claimThe plant species Achyranthes aspera L. is utilized by the indigenous inhabitants of Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary for medicinal purposes.

measurementThe leaves of Achyranthes aspera L. collected from the Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary contain the following concentrations of secondary metabolites: Rutin (1.267 µg/10 mg), Gallic acid (0.183 µg/10 mg), Pro-catechuic acid (0.182 µg/10 mg), P-coumaric acid (0.623 µg/10 mg), and Ferulic acid (0.080 µg/10 mg).

measurementPotassium content in sampled plants was highest in Achyranthes aspera L. (1.46 ± 0.11) and lowest in Senegalia catechu (0.22 ± 0.11).

claimThe ten wild medicinal plant species studied in the Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary are Achyranthes aspera L., Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa, Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Berberis lycium Royle, Cassia fistula L., Senegalia catechu (L.f.) P.J.H. Hurter & Mabb., Senna tora (L.) Roxb., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Hook.f. & Thomson, and Vitex negundo L.

claimResearchers analyzed the medicinal plants Achyranthes aspera L., Berberis lycium Royle, and Vitex negundo L. gathered from the Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary in Sirmaur for polyphenols and flavonoids using the UPLC-PDA method (Waters Acquity UPLC H-class).

claimUPLC analysis of the methanolic leaf extract of Achyranthes aspera L. collected from the Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary in Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, confirmed the presence of Rutin, Gallic acid, Protocatechuic acid, P-coumaric acid, and Ferulic acid.
