Abstract

Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. is a medicinal herb which has wide application in the indigenous medicinal system. Chemical constituents play important role in any therapeutic activity. CHNS and ICP-MS techniques were used for quantitative determination of chemical composition of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. leaves. Various functional groups were determined by using FTIR spectroscopy method. Elemental analysis of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. leaves confirmed presence of pharmaceutically essential elements such as B, Na, Mg, P, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Se, Mo, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. Some traces of heavy metals also have been observed. The FTIR spectroscopy is important to obtain information of different characteristic peak values with various functional groups. The aqueous, methanolic and acetone extracts of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. leaves were used for FTIR analysis which successfully revealed presence of medicinally and biologically active functional groups. The present investigation has proved that Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. has some bioactive compounds and may be useful for isolation of pharmacologically important components. It would help to find new drug formulations.
