چکیده
The bioactive principal, rotenoid, from the roots of Boerhaavia diffusa collected from various locations of NCT Delhi was extracted using organic solvents and determined with HPLC and compared with the standard isoflavenoid (rotenone). Six locations were selected for the study: Tuglaqabad, Dhaulakuan, Ridge area (Delhi University, North Campus), Nangloi, Saidulajab, Jawaharlal Nehru University area. Roots of the same age were collected for the comparison. Considerable variation was observed in the rotenoid content of the roots collected from different locations.
