Its roots, leaves, and whole plant parts are reported for traditional use in the management of dysentery, sores, cuts, wounds, cholera, leucorrhoea, fractures, and sprains.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aim:<\/jats:title>\n \n The aim of the present work was to assess the total tannin content, total alkaloid content (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) in root, leaf, and whole plant of\n B. herbacea<\/jats:italic>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and methods:<\/jats:title>\n The amount of total tannins was analyzed using titrimetric method and total alkaloids by gravimetrical method. TPC was measured using Folin-Ciocalteu's method and calculated as gallic acid equivalents and the amount of total flavonoids by aluminum chloride colorimetric method and calculated as chrysin equivalents.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Tannin content was found maximum in the leaf (8.148% w\/w) followed by whole plant (3.886% w\/w) and root (1.553% w\/w); similarly, TAC in the leaf (2.306% w\/w) was more than those in root (0.814% w\/w) and whole plant (1.319% w\/w). The TPC of the methanolic extract of root (372.33 \u00b1 14.29 mg\/g) was more than whole plant (267.33 \u00b1 7.63 mg\/g); The TFC of the methanolic extract of leaf (620 \u00b1 50 mg\/g) was found maximum followed by root (553.33 \u00b1 28.86 mg\/g) and whole plant (536.66 \u00b1 28.86 mg\/g).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n The result of study emphasized presence of tannin, alkaloid, phenol, and flavonoid contents in the root, leaf, and whole plant of\n B. herbacea<\/jats:italic>\n where the leaf was found to be richest source.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ayu.ayu_25_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,12]],"date-time":"2023-04-12T05:47:48Z","timestamp":1681278468000},"page":"143-147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Quantitative estimation of total tannin, alkaloid, phenolic, and flavonoid content of the root, leaf, and whole plant of Byttneria herbacea Roxb"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Tarun","family":"Sharma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rakesh","family":"Gamit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rabinarayan","family":"Acharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.
