Sabrang onion (Eleutherine bulbosa (Mill.) Urb.) has been used for generations for various diseases such as breast and colon cancer, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and stroke. This study aims to determine the characterization and phytochemical screening of simplicia and sabrang onion bulb extract. Extracts were made by graded maceration using solvents based on their polarity levels, n-hexane, ethylacetate and ethanol as well as phytochemical screening and characterization of simplicia and extracts. The results of simplicia characterization, sabrang onion n-hexane extract (ENBS), sabrang onion ethylacetate extract (EEABS) and sabrang onion ethanol extract (EEBS) obtained water content of 8.64%, respectively; 4.98%; 8.27% and 9.11%; water soluble extract content of 8.52%; 1.12%; 9.51% and 72.19%; ethanol soluble extract content of 14.05%; 2.28%; 49.26% and 81.66%; total ash content 2.89%; 0.34%; 0.43% and 1.73% and the acid insoluble ash content is 0.59%; 0.06%; 0.07% and 0.20%. The results of the phytochemical screening of simplicia and extracts obtained groups of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, anthraquinone glycosides, tannins and triterpenoids/steroids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
