Abstract: Argyreia nervosa Burm. F. (Syn. Argyreia speciosa) is a perennial climbing vine that
is native to the India, Africa, subcontinent Hawaii and Caribbean countries. It is commonly
known as Vridha daraka in sanskrit. This herb occupies a significant position in Ayurveda and
is known to possess phytoconstituents like alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, amber-colored
resins, sterols and saponins. This herb is better known for its hallucinogenic properties.
Pharmacologically this herb shows antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, aphrodisiac,
antiulcer, immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, anticonvulsant, hepatoprotective, anti
inflammatory and nootropic effects. The current work is projected towards the preliminary
phytochemical screening, purification, identification, characterization of molecule isolated from
hydro alcoholic extract of plant Argyreia nervosa. The dried powder of the stem was subjected to
extraction with aqueous, hydro alcoholic and ethanolic solvents by cold maceration method.
Each extract was concentrated by thin film rotary evaporator yielding 9.75, 7.05 and 3.75% w/w
respectively. The isolated scopoletin was obtained by the column chromatography using
chloroform-methanol gradient and recrystallized it from ice cold methanol. The pure scopoletin
obtained was yellow, needle shaped crystals having melting point 208.2

Materials and methods
Collection of plant material
The stem parts of Argyreia nervosa were collected from Jammu region of India. The plant was
authenticated by taxonomist Dr. S. N. Sharma, Department of Taxonomy, I.I.I.M, Jammu, India,
having accession no-21189. The stems were shade dried until they were free from the moisture
and subjected to physical evaluation with different parameters such as nature, odor, color, taste,
size, shape, width and length. The air dried stem was pulverized to coarse powder and kept in
dessicator.

Physicochemical parameters:
Determination of ethanolic extractive value
400 G of the coarse powder was macerated, with 2.4 L of ethanol in a closed flask for 24 Hr by
occasional shaking. After 24 Hr, the liquid extract was filtered out by taking precaution against

loss of solvent. The extracting solvent was evaporated in a tared flat-bottomed shallow dish, at
105
0
C. The ethanolic extractive value was calculated with reference to the air dried drug.

Determination of water-soluble extractive value
400 G of the coarse powder was macerated, with 2.4 L of distilled water in a closed flask for 24
Hr by occasional shaking. After 24 Hr, the liquid extract was filtered out. The extracting solvent
was subjected to freeze drying in order to remove the solvent. The water-soluble extractive value
was calculated with reference to the air dried drug.

Determination of hydro-alcoholic (1:1) extractive value
400 G of the coarse powder was macerated, with 2.4 L solvent - ethanol: distilled water (1:1) in a
closed flask for 24 Hr by occasional shaking. After 24 Hr, the liquid extract was filtered out by
taking precaution against loss of solvent. The extracting solvent was evaporated in a tared flat-
bottomed shallow dish, at 105
0
C. The hydro-alcoholic extractive value was calculated with
reference to the air dried drug.

Loss on Drying (LOD)
2 G of powder was weighed accurately in a petridish and kept in hot-air oven, maintained at
110
0
C for 4 Hr. The petridish was allowed to cool in desiccator and the loss in weight of the
sample was recorded. The procedure was repeated till constant weight was obtained.

Determination of ash value
2 G of crude powder was weighed accurately in a previously ignited and weighed platinum
crucible. The crucible was ignited at 650
0
C for 6 Hr. The ash colored residue left in the crucible
was allowed to cool in dessicator and the total ash value was calculated with reference to air
dried drug.

Determination of acid-insoluble ash
1 G ash was boiled with 25ml of dilute hydrochloric acid for 10-15 minutes. The solution was
filtered by using an ash less filter paper, the filter paper was washed 3-4 times with hot water.

The residue left over the filter paper was weighed accurately and the percentage of acid insoluble
ash was calculated with reference to the air-dried drug.

Determination of water-soluble ash
1 G ash was boiled with 25ml of distilled water for 10-15 minutes. The solution was filtered by
using an ash less filter paper, the filter paper was washed 3-4 times with hot water. The residue
left over the filter paper was weighed accurately. The quantity of water soluble ash was
determined by subtracting the residue left over the ash less filter paper from the total weight of
the ash taken. Water soluble ash was calculated with reference to the air dried drug.

Preliminary phytochemical screening
The aqueous, ethanolic and hydro-alcoholic extracts of plant Argyreia nervosa were subjected to
preliminary phytochemical screening using approved standard protocol
29
.

Extraction procedure
500 G of air dried coarse powder was extracted with cold maceration method using 2.5 L of 50%
hydro alcoholic solvent 5 times. The liquid extract was filtered through muslin cloth and
concentrated under reduced pressure in a thin film evaporator.

Isolation and purification of phyto-constituents from hydro-alcoholic extract

A suitable glass column of dimensions 45 CM length, 4.2 CM outer diameter and 3.8 CM inner
diameter was considered for isolation. 20 G of the hydro-alcoholic extract was loaded and eluted
with chloroform-methanol gradient. Fractions of 25 ML each were collected in conical flasks.
All fractions were monitored with TLC. Fractions having identical R
f
value were pooled
together. Fraction nos. 145-186 showed single spot in the TLC (Fig. no. 1) and recrystallized
from ice cold methanol.

Development of mobile phase for TLC
TLC was developed in 5% v/v solution of methanol in chloroform. The plates were visualized
using vanillin-boric acid reagent.

A small amounts of compound were taken in clean test tubes and dissolved in different solvents
viz. distilled water, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile and chloroform.

Determination of melting point
A few crystals of pure isolated compound were taken in a melting point capillary tube and the
tube was tapped until the compound settled down to the bottom. Then the capillary was inserted
in sample space provided in the melting point apparatus. The melting point of the compound was
determined and is shown in table no. 4.

Spectral analysis and structural elucidation of the pure isolated compound:
The pure isolated compound was subjected to chemical characterization by using modern
analytical techniques such as UV-VIS, IR spectrophotometery, NMR (

spectrum was recorded between 400-200nm using Shimadzu-1700 UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

I R spectral analysis
Infra Red analysis of pure isolated compound was performed by IR Bruker model, Vector 32
using KBr pellet method. 1 MG of pure sample was thoroughly triturated with 1-2 G of KBr in a
mortar. Then the whole mass was transferred to a die and compressed by means of hydraulic
pressure to form a thin pellet of thickness 0.5 MM and 3 MM diameter and taken for IR study.

NMR spectral analysis

I nterpretation of isolated compound on the basis of infra red spectra
In infra red spectrum, the region 900-700 cm
-1
exhibited sharp bands which indicated for
aromatic C-H stretching and also satisfied the presence of aromatic ring in the
1
H NMR by
giving peak at 7.65 . This indicates that the unsymmetrical pattern of aromatic ring. A sharp
band near 3029 cm
-1
was the characteristic band of =C-H stretching for aromaticity. A sharp
band at 740 cm
-1
indicated that the aromatic ring is di substituted. A conformational broad band
appears near 3422 cm
-1
for intra molecular hydrogen bonding O-H (aromatic) and may be ortho
substituted. The peak occurs in the region of 1705 cm
-1
indicates a C=O stretching. It is further
confirmed by UV analysis that peak at 345nm is due to n- * transition.

A small amount of isolated compound was taken in a clean test tube and dissolved in alcohol. A
few drops of sodium hydroxide solution were added to it. The solution was spotted on a filter
paper and observed under UV light. Yellow fluorescence was observed which confirmed the
presence of coumarin derivative. After interpretation of all data obtained from UV, IR
spectroscopy,

chemistry have gained attention as the duo brings known and unknown medicinal virtues of plant
origin to light. These investigations need phytochemical evaluation on modern scientific lines.
Such isolations, analyses and pharmacological characterizations of bio-active constituents will
provide valuable information for further investigations and development of newer potent drugs.
