Secondary Metabolites Profiling of Homoeopathic Preparation of Scrophularia Nodosa 6C By LC-MS

Abstract

Scrophularia nodosais one of the homeopathic medicine used for the various disorders. It belongs to family Scrophulariaceae and genus Scrophularia. Various species from this genus have been used for traditional medicine. The objective of study is to determination and identification of secondary metabolites in Homoeopathic preparation of Scrophularia Nodosa 6C. In the present study, the secondary metabolite profiling was carried out using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy. Both positive and negative modes were used for metabolite screening. Total 48 and 17 compounds were identified in positive and negative mode of LC-MS. Many active compounds from Scrophularianodosa are known to have therapeutic potentials. The plant is used as homoeopathic medicine. In future, the anticancer, antioxidant activity can be evaluated to check its biological activity.
