Abstract

Selaginella bryopteris (L.) Baker, an endemic pteridophyte is found restricted to the Indian subcontinent mostly because of its environmental requirements of cool temperatures and optimum water availability. It is a drought-resistant species and shows curling in limited water supply reviving when water conditions are restored. This property makes this species a suitable plant for exploration of medicinal properties, although its restricted occurrence has limited this evaluation. The current study explores the role of hydrophobic (acetone) and hydrophilic solvents on the phytochemical profiles of the extracts from the dried Selaginella bryopteris, from northern terrain of India. The study is pivotal considering the demographic and environment mediated changes in the compositions of the plant. The results have shown, comparatively higher yield of phenolic and flavonoid, to be 36.67 mg/mL and 96.17 mg/mL, respectively in the methanolic extract of the plant. In the absence of limited studies on high yield extraction of the phytocompounds in methanolic extract, further characterization of the extract was performed using LC/MS analysis. The LC/MS analysis revealed a rich consortium of diverse catalogues of compounds including flavonoids and bi-flavonoids. Some of the key compounds observed, and are known for therapeutic potential such as anticancer, antioxidant and antifungal activities are Gingerol, Sciadopitysin, Ginkgetin and Amentoflavone, to name a few. The presence of such rare phytocompounds obtrude the methanolic extracts a pool of therapeutic compounds consortia that may be evaluated for the bioactivities including therapeutic potential against different model systems. The study will provide an avenue for quantification of the different compounds and their assessment of dose dependent therapeutic potential.

Keywords: Selaginella bryopteris, Amentoflavone, Sciadopitysin, LC/MS, phytoconstituents
