ABSTRACT
Bioactive compounds are important nutritional components that are present in small amount in fruits and vegetable and are known for their various behavioral, immunological and physiological health benefit. This research utilized HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analytical method, to identify and quantify the phytochemicals and bioactive compounds present in the Dichloromethane fraction of extract of Uraria picta. Analysis by HPLC revealed Six prominents compounds which include Ammodendrine (22.0694 ug/ml), Cyanogenic glycoside (20.1936 ug/ml), Spartein (15.9760 ug/ml), Tannin (12.9619ug/ml), Sapogenin ( 10.9960 ug/ml) and proanthocyanidine( 10.4914 ug/ml) with antioxidant, Anticancer and anti inflammatory potentials. These bioactive compounds have been reported to possess multiple therapeutic activities, which explain the use of Uraria picta leaves in traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. This study suggests that Uraria picta leaves could be exploited for the development of new therapeutic molecules.
