Costus Afer

The extracts of leaves and roots of Costus afer plant have been fully investigated in an attempt to determine their phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activities. Phytochemical screening carried out using thin layer chromatography (TLC) revealed the presence of several secondary metabolites in all the selected extracts of the plant. In addition, our results showed that the leaves of C. afer are the richest in polyphenols with an average value of 3416.25 μg EAG/g MS. The total flavonoid assay revealed a highest content in the leaves (8.02 %). Furthermore, studies of the antioxidant activities using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) method showed a significant effect compared to the reference vitamin C. Ethyl acetate extract of the leaves show a higher percentage of inhibition (83 %), followed the roots (69 %).

Justicia gendarussa Burm .f. (family Acanthaceae) which is also known as willow-leaves and commonly known as Nili-Nirgundi, it is very commonly found nearby to China and its availability is very common in larger parts of India and Andaman islands. Traditionally it is used to treat various sorts of disorders such as wound healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antiproliferative, anti-arthritic etc. Justicia gendarussa is one of the crucial herbs which has been used in the Ayurveda. Majorly leaves parts of the plant shows the pharmacological activity but the root of the plant Justicia gendarussa is also have the important medicinal values. A large variety of pharmacologically active constituents i.e., alkaloids, flavonoids, saponin, carbohydrates, steroids, triterpenoids, carotenoids, aminoacids, tannins, phenolics, coumarines and anthaquinones are also present in this plant and they makes the plant pharmacologically important. The activity of the plant is also dependent on the solvent which is used for the extraction the various vital chemical constituents. The different- different parts of the plants having the different medicinal values also differ in the chemical values. This review is not only focused on the essential phytochemical constituents which is available in the plant but it also explains their necessary medicinal value to shows the essential biological action and phytopharmacological actions of various parts of the plant.
