Abstract

Phytochemical Analysis, Histochemical localization and Antioxidant Activity of Hoya wightii ssp. palniensis and Elaeocarpus recurvatus

The present investigation was carried out to determine the phytochemical constituents and their localization histochemically for two endangered plants of Western Ghats such as Hoya wightii ssp. palniensis and Elaeocarpus recurvatus. The antioxidant content of different plant parts and their free radical scavenging activity were also analyzed. This study provides referential pharmaco-botanical and phytochemical information for the conservational importance of these endangered plants.
