Abstract

Introduction

Sida L. is a medicinally important genus comprising many species used in the traditional systems of medicine in different parts of the world. The present study deals with the elemental analysis of the root samples of six species of Sida L. viz., S. alnifolia L., S. beddomei Jacob., S. fryxelli Sivar. & Pradeep., S. rhomboidea Roxb. ex. Flemming., and S. keralensis E. S. S. Kumar, Shailaja, Sreekala, Parthipan & R. Prakashkumar sp. nov.

Materials and methods

Field explorations were carried out in Kerala, India, and root samples of different species were collected, shade-dried, and powdered. The powdered root samples of each species were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and Flame Photometer.

Results

The presence of Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), and Lead (Pb) were detected in the species of Sida L. under study. The most abundant macro-element was detected as K, ranging from 15,630±0.21 mg kg⁻¹ in S. rhomboidea to 24,910±0.14 mg kg⁻¹ in S. beddomei. Among the micro-elements, Fe was present in higher concentrations ranging from 461.7 ± 193.96 mg kg⁻¹ in S. cordata to 1363.93±192.90 mg kg⁻¹ in S. beddomei. Toxic metals like Cr, Cd, Ni, and Pb were below detectable levels.

Conclusion

The elemental composition of the species under study was quite different but within the permissible limits recommended by WHO. The current study revealed that the species of Sida L. under study could be valuable for Ayurvedic practitioners and traditional healers in developing herbal formulations.

六种飞燕草属植物根部样本的元素分析

导言西达属（Sida L.）是一个具有重要药用价值的属，由世界不同地区传统医学体系中使用的许多物种组成。本研究涉及六种 Sida L.根样本的元素分析，即 S. alnifolia L.、S. beddomei Jacob.、S. fryxelli Sivar、和 S. keralensis E. S. S. Kumar, Shailaja, Sreekala, Parthipan & R. Prakashkumar sp.使用原子吸收分光光度计（AAS）和火焰光度计对每个物种的粉末根样本进行分析。结果在研究的 Sida L. 物种中检测到钠（Na）、钾（K）、钙（Ca）、镁（Mg）、铁（Fe）、锌（Zn）、锰（Mn）、铜（Cu）、镉（Cd）、铬（Cr）、镍（Ni）和铅（Pb）的存在。检测到的最丰富的宏量元素是钾，含量范围从 S. rhomboidea 的 15,630±0.21 mg kg-1 到 S. beddomei 的 24,910±0.14 mg kg-1。在微量元素中，铁的含量较高，从脐带鱼的 461.7 ± 193.96 mg kg-1 到贝多美鱼的 1363.93 ± 192.90 mg kg-1。有毒金属如铬、镉、镍和铅的含量低于可检测水平。目前的研究表明，所研究的 Sida L. 物种对阿育吠陀医师和传统治疗师开发草药配方很有价值。
