Abstract

Phytoconstituents of natural products having a broad spectrum of activity across multiple signaling pathways serve as alternative sources of medicine. Lipids, an essential component of plants, play a crucial role in biological systems for energy storage, as structural components, signaling molecules, modulators of cellular functions and diseases. Total plant lipids extracted with a biphasic system chloroform - methanol mixed with water facilitated investigation of many compounds including presence of sugars, amino acids, organic acids, waxes, proteins and RNA using TLC. The phytoconstituent properties of the lipids from the medicinal plant Alpinia galanga, Zingiber officinale and Vigna radiata as comparative standard was further analyzed by FTIR and HPTLC.
The total lipid isolated by Bligh and Dyer method were quantified to be 3.722 g, 7.745 g, 3.429.The percentage yield 14.89%, 30.98%, and 13.716% in Alpinia galanga, Zingiber officinale and Vigna radiata respectively. Further studies on sphingolipidomic will define diagnostic or prognostic role of sphingolipids as epigenetic regulators of various human cancers. The lipid fractions of the plant samples isolated and characterized had promising cytoprotective activity on normal cells without causing any side effects and had selective action on cancer cells.
