dc.descriptionHibiscus sabdariffa commonly known as sorrel or roselle is extensively studied plant; literature bears a wealth of information about its phytochemistry and pharmacological effects. Anthocyanins, flavonoids and polyphenols are the major chemical constituents of flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa (Lin et al., 2007) contributing to its practical medicinal effects. The calyx drink is rich in ascorbic acid, carotene, calcium, riboflavin, iron and niacin which are nutritionally important (Yadong et al., 2005). The petals are the potential resource of antioxidizing agents as anthocyanins and ascorbic acid (Prenesti et al., 2007).
dc.description.abstractVarious species in genus Hibiscus are traditionally known for their therapeutic attributes. The present study focused on the phytochemical analysis of a rather unexplored species Hibiscus caesius (H. caesius), using high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The analysis revealed five major compounds in the aqueous extract, viz. vanillic acid, protocatechoic acid, quercetin, quercetin glucoside and apigenin, being reported for the first time in H. caesius. Literature suggests that these compounds have important pharmacological traits such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and hepatoprotective etc. however, this requires further pharmacological investigations at in vitro and in vivo scale. The above study concluded the medicinal potential of H. caesius. Keywords: H. caesius, Phytochemicals, medicinal value, HPLC-MS.
