Abstract

Aim: The present study was aimed to explore the phytochemical constituents present in Laurencia obtusa collected from Tamil Nadu, South India. Methods: Phytochemical screening of different extracts was carried out using the standard procedure and the results were illustrated. Results: Steroids show the maximum (4/6) presence in acetone, benzene, chloroform and petroleum ether extracts followed by alkaloids (3/6) in ethanol, acetone and chloroform extracts. The UV-Vis phytochemical profile of various extracts of L. obtusa was tabulated. The qualitative HPLC fingerprint profile of ethanolic extract of L. obtusa was selected at a wavelength of 254 nm due to sharpness of the peaks and proper baseline. The profile displayed one prominent peak at a retention time of 1.953 min and some moderate peaks were observed at a retention time of 3.000, 2.570 and 2.467 min respectively. Conclusion: The present studies on L. obtusa produced novel phytochemical markers in standardization as useful analytical tools to check not only the quality of the powder but also the presence of adulterants in ayurvedic drugs.
