Phytochemical analysis of Canna indica L. roots and rhizomes extract.

ABSTRACT: Canna indica L. (Cannaceae) roots and rhizomes were reported to possess various biological properties like antimicrobial, anthelmintic potential and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition. In our previous studies, they showed antidiabetic activity on normal rats and rats co-addicted with caffeine and nicotine. In the pursuit of the phytochemical/s responsible for these biological activities, present study was aimed at phytochemical evaluation of hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) of C. indica L. roots and rhizomes; including preliminary screening, thin layer chromatography, H¹-NMR and HR-LC/MS-MS analysis. After preliminary detection of flavonoids, tannins and sterols, HAE was tested for presence of β-sitosterol using TLC. H¹-NMR spectrum of HAE revealed the p
