Abstract This paper illustrates total phenolic, total flavonoid content, phytochemicals present and physical properties of oil obtained from Artemisia abrotanum and Artemisia pallens (Asteraceae). Total phenolic and flavonoid content was established by folin-ciocalteu assay and aluminum chloride colorimetric assay respectively. Studies in our laboratory shows the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids/ sterols, tannins, phenols, flavonoids in A. abrotanum and terpenoids/ sterols, tannins, phenols, flavonoids in A. pallens in ethanolic extract. The phenolic content in ethanolic extract of aerial parts of A. abrotanum and A. pallens was found to be 9.35 ± 0.008 mgGAE/g and 6.88 f 0.052 mgRE/g respectively, standard curve (Y = 0.01143X - 0.02093 and rz = 0.9994). The flavonoids content in ethanolic extract of aerial parts of A. abrotanum and A. pallens was found to be 11.0 ± 0.025 mgRE/g and 11.55 ± 0.006 mgRE/g respectively, standard curve (Y = 0.0471X - 0.0056 and r2 = 0.9984). The results suggests both plant contains significant amount of polyphenols and flavonoids hence could be considered in the category of antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory and is suitable candidate for activity guided isolation which will help in find out the new chemical entity (NCEs) responsible for the traditional claims.

Abstract Natural products are the main stay of the alternative system of medicine. Artemisia nilagirica is commonly known as the Indian wormwood, family Asteraceae, found in the hilly areas of India. The plant has shown noticeably significant pharmacological activities. Traditionally, it is used in management of epilepsy, nervous disorders, as diuretic, anti-inflammatory and skin disorders. In the recent past, various actions of aerial parts are studied and it was found to possess antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antifilarial, insecticidal, antiulcer, anticancer, antioxidant and anti-asthmatic activity. Camphor, 1,8-cineole, β-eudesmol, artemisia alcohol, α-gurjunene, para-cymene, terpinene-4-ol and α-pinene are main essential oil constituents in A. nilagirica. Oil possesses antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticidal and larvicidal activity. These evidences prove that the whole plant is of great therapeutic valve. The future prospect includes pre clinical studies on the aerial parts as well as root.

Abstract Artemisia parviflora Roxb. (Asteraceae) is commonly known as Himalayan wormwood, is a member of Indian tarragon family. It commonly found in Himalayas, Nepal, Uttarakhand, Western Ghats and in southern part of India. The plant is used in traditional system of Indian medicine and is considered as digestive, febrifuge, anthelmintic, pain reliever, in treatment of abdominal pain, high blood pressure, diabetes and skin diseases. In the past few decades the plant is explored for its various activities like, antioxidant, antimalarial, insecticidal, antimicrobial, antisporulant, cytotoxic and osteoinductive activities. The essential oil is reported to contain β-caryophyllene, germacrene D, camphor, artemisia ketone, 1, 8-cineole, α-copaene, artemisia alcohol, terpinene-4-ol, caryophyllene oxide, α-pinene and α-humulene. The oil possesses antifungal activity against Candida and Cryptococcus species. The wide variety of uses makes it an important herb medically and economically which can be exploited commercially for human and veterinary use. The antioxidant and anticomplement activity of the plant makes it a perfect candidate for further bioassay guided fractionation studies.
