claimRutin is a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular-protective effects; Gallic acid and Protocatechuic acid are phenolic acids with antimicrobial and radical-scavenging properties; and P-coumaric acid and Ferulic acid are hydroxycinnamic acids that contribute to antioxidant capacity and metabolic pathway modulation.
claimUPLC analysis of the methanolic extract of Berberis lycium Royle collected from three Wildlife Sanctuaries in Himachal Pradesh indicated the presence of Gallic acid and Epicatechin.
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).
claimThe phenolic acids and flavonoids analyzed via UPLC-PDA include P-coumaric acid, Gallic acid, Pro-catechuic acid, Vanillic acid, Rutin, Syringic acid, Caffeic acid, Epicatechin, EGCG, Ferulic acid, Quercetin, and Kaempferol.
measurementRoots of Berberis lycium Royle collected from Renukaji Wildlife Sanctuary contained 4.187 µg/10 mg of Epicatechin and 0.147 µg/10 mg of Gallic acid.
claimGallic acid is a phenolic acid with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, while Epicatechin is a flavonoid known for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects.
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.
claimUPLC analysis of the methanolic extract of Berberis lycium Royle roots identified the presence of Gallic acid and Epicatechin, which aligns with existing literature on the phytochemistry of the species.
