Abstract

Novel chemicals and bioactive compounds found in medicinal plants can be used in the discovery and development of new drugs. Careya arborea Roxb. (Family: Lecythidaceae) is known to be one of the important Ayurvedic medicinal plants which has an illustrious history of use in traditional medicine. This study aims to establish the phytochemical profile of Hydroalcoholic stem bark and leaf extracts of C. arborea Roxb. using High Resolution Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HR-LCMS). The results showed the detection of 9 major phytochemical compounds in bark and 28 major phytochemical compounds in leaves. This HR-LCMS study manifested the presence of several compounds of pharmaceutical importance in the bark and leaf extracts. Furthermore, this study confirmed that C. arborea Roxb. is a rich source of biologically active phytochemical constituents which can be the reason for its bioactive potential
