PROSPECTS FOR EXTRACTING FLAVONOIDS FROM THE ROOT OF MADDER (RUBIA TINCTORUM L.) AND STUDYING THEIR SEDATIVE PROPERTIES
Keywords:
Rubia tinctorum L., flavonoids, ultrasonic extraction, sedative properties, neuropharmacology, HPLC profiling.Abstract
This expanded research investigates the optimization parameters for extracting flavonoids and complementary active secondary metabolites from the roots of Rubia tinctorum L. (Common Madder), emphasizing their neurotropic and sedative efficacy. Given the pharmacological demand for plant-based central nervous system (CNS) modulators, optimizing extraction methodologies via green chemistry approaches offers a reliable framework for developing safe phytopharmaceuticals.
