| Abstract:
|
Clitoria ternatea is anelegant perennial climber with blue or white flowers widely distributed in and around tropical
Asia. The plant is regarded as “butterfly pea” and “shankhapuspi”. It is traditionally used in Ayurveda to treat
neurological disorders, sterility in females, inflamed eyes and swollen joints. The present study evaluates the
phytochemicals in the plant extracts by qualitative and quantitative biochemical methods. The antimicrobial and
antioxidant properties were also analyzed. Further, the Phyto-chemical constituents were studied by GC-MS analysis.
Hexacosane and Hexatriacotane were the major constituents found. This paper focuses on the medical constituents
of the C.ternatea flower extracts.
