Aim:

Comparative Investigation of Preliminary Phytochemicals and their Estimation of Secondary Metabolites in Amrith Noni Artho Plus with Amrith Noni D Plus by Spectroscopic and Gravimetric Methods.

Background:

Morinda citrifolia, commonly known as the Noni tree, is a small tree that belongs to the Rubiaceae family. It typically features a straight trunk and was once widely cultivated across many regions of India. Various parts of the Noni tree, such as its roots, leaves, seeds, and fruit, have been traditionally used in herbal medicine to treat a range of conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis, digestive issues, atherosclerosis, and to provide pain relief.

Materials and Methods:

Due to these benefits we conducted a comparative study on formulated marketed finish products of noni namely Amrith Noni Artho Plus (A) and Amrith Noni D Plus (B) and its preliminary phytochemical investigation.

Results:

The results has shown that both the products contains significant contents of secondary metabolites and further we conducted the estimation of some of the secondary metabolites namely total tannins and total saponins and we observed that the percentage of total tannins is more in product B (4.91%) when compared to product A (3.58%) and in case of total Saponins are almost equivalent in in product B and product A, further we have observed that marketed products may contain alcohol so performed simple distillation and obtained distilled product. It is further subjected for systemic qualitative analysis that showed positive result for alcohol.

Conclusion:

The research work has to be further continued on secondary metabolites for clinical activity.
