ABSTRACT

Anethum graveolens L. (Dill) is an essential curative herb having a lot of therapeutic values. It is an annual herb of family Apiaceae having a distinctive smell. Anethum graveolens L. is traditionally used as an antioxidant, anticancer, antihyperlipidemic, antifungal, cardioprotective. Anethum graveolens L. leaves are used to reduce the level of cholesterolaemia and risk of cancer. Present study deals with physicochemical, phytochemical screening by using standard methods and estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents in various extracts like aqueous, acetone, ethanol, methanol hydroalcoholic and dichloromethane of Anethum graveolens L. leaves by using the spectrophotometric method. In aqueous, acetone, ethanol, methanol, hydroalcoholic and dichloromethane extracts of Anethum graveolens L. leaves tannins, saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates were observed. The estimated total phenolic contents were 11.21 to 23.31 mg gallic acid equivalent per gm of extract. Flavonoid contents were 4.38 to 47.81 mg quercetin equivalent per gm of extract. In acetone, hydroalcoholic and dichloromethane extracts of Anethum graveolens L. leaves total phenolic and flavonoid constituents were highly significant (P<0.0001). The solvent gives an idea about the nature of phytochemical constituents present in Anethum graveolens L. material. These constituents are relevant to bioactive compounds as it may be important for therapeutic effects of Anethum graveolens L.
