An Updates on Chrozophora Tinctoria for Its Medicinal Values

Abstract

The present review work deals with the complete study of Chrozophora tinctoria for assess the description, cultivation, quality of nutrients, phytoconstituents, microbial effect and beneficial uses of the whole parts. The development of the roots stem and leaves of the plant were observed under various fertilizers, soil, lime and in watering condition at altitudes of 0-1650 meters and observed that the fertilizers inhibited growth and development of the root while stimulating the stems and leaves. The plant is medicinally used as cathartic, emetic, antipyretic, wart etc. and as a medieval colorant science the 17 th century and also used as a source of dye for Turkish carpets and Palestine used much like henna to dye the fingernails. The regression analysis determines the relationships between the organic matter, P, K, pH, total soluble salts, CaCO 3 content of the soils and the N, P, K, Ca, Na, Mn, Zn and Cu content of the C. tinctoria plant. The methanol extract of the aerial parts possess four known flavonoid glycosides, i.e., quercetin 3-O-rutinoside, acacetin 7-O-rutinoside, apigenin 7-O-D-[(6-p-coumaroyl)]-glucopyranoside, and apigenin 7-O-Dglucopyranoside. One novel acylated flavonoid glucoside, viz. apigenin 7-O-D-[6-(3,4dihydroxybenzoyl)]-glucopyranoside (chrozophorin) was recently isolated.
