| Abstract Background: Dipcadi erythraeum is a wild edible species belonging to family Asparagaceae and commonly used in folk medicine. Aim of Study: This study was designed to carry out a detailed phytochemical screening of the active constituents in the bulbs, stems, leaves and flowers of Dipcadi erythraeum. Material and Methods: Phytochemical screening were done for Dipcadi erythraeum plant after collection from Kabd and Ahmadi deserts in Kuwait during spring 2005. Results: Dipcadi erythraeum was reported to contain high glycosides levels, but from the phytochemical screening it showed no significant levels. The presence of flavonoids and starchy carbohydrates was noticeable. Conclusion: The results of the current paper could serve as a starting point for further investigation of the flavanoidal contents of the Dipcadi erythraeum plant. | ||
