Abstract

The aim of present study “Extraction, Isolation and Pharmacognostical characterization of components from Artemisia vestita Wall ex Besser”. The whole plant collected from wild forest of ‘Kotgarh’ HP (India). Collected plant authenticated at YS Parmar University of Horticulture and forestry, Solan (HP) and submitted sample linked to UHF-Herbarium no. 13916. Ash values determination for total ash, water soluble and acid insoluble ash were calculated, Triplet study of plant material done for Loss on drying (LOD) and extractive value calculated for Distilled water, Methanol, Chloroform and Petroleum ether respectively. 10.95g and 2.36g crude extract obtained for Distilled water and methanol solvents by soxhlet extraction. Hydrodistillation method performed for extraction of volatile from dried powdered drug. Results concluded after pharmacognostical characterization, phytochemical, spectroscopical analysis specify purity of the plant material and Distilled water and methanol as suitable solvent from which artemisinin and thujon identified as main components and presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, volatile oil.
