Abstract:
Xanthium Strumarium L. (Family: Compositae) is a cocklebur or burweed oftentimes located as a weed in roadsides, rice fields, and hedges all through the tropical components of India. The phrase “xanthium” is derived from an ancient Greek word “Xanthos” which means yellow and “Strumarium” capability “cushion like swelling,” regarding the seedpods which flip from inexperienced to yellow as they ripen (later they come to be deep yellow to brown). It is regularly known as Chota gokhru due to the shape of its fruit which looks like the cow's toe. In many components of India, it is acknowledged as adhasisi, as this weed is used for the remedy of the common disease hemicrania. The genus Xanthium consists of 25 species, all American origin. Xanthium Spinosum Linn. and X. Strumarium Linn. are used medicinally in Europe, North America, and Brazil, Xanthium Canadiens Mill. is used in North America and Brazil and X. Strumarium Linn. in China, India, and Malaysia. Xanthium Strumarium L. showed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer activities as well as various medicinal significances hence it created sufficient interest to investigate phytochemical studies of leaves of Xanthium Strumarium L. of Tisgaon (PIN Code 431002) of Taluka and District Aurangabad, India which is hither to unknown from this region. Recently phytochemical studies of leaves of Xanthium Strumarium L of Tisgaon were successfully carried out and the present work deals with the qualitative analysis and identification of elements, trace elements and organic moieties present in Xanthium Strumarium L. During this study it is investigated that the leaves of Xanthium Strumarium L contain sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, fluoride, bicarbonate along with terpenoids, coumarins, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, thiazides, anthraquinones, naphthoquinones, polyphenols and alkaloids.
