Abstract
Summary
The genus Rumex L., belonging to the Polygonaceae comprises approximately 200 species, which are widely distributed worldwide. Rumex spp. have been used as both food and medicine by many different cultures. Rumex spp. have diuretic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Moreover, Rumex spp. have commonly been used to treat skin conditions, urinary tract disorders and cancer. This thesis aimed for the performance of phytochemical studies and evaluation of certain biological activities, especially anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of the aerial parts of Rumex pictus Forssk. and Rumex vesicarius L. grown in Egypt.
The present work is divided into three parts:
Part I: Phytochemical Study.
This included:
1. Phytochemical screening.
2. Investigation of the volatile constituents of the aerial parts of R. pictus and R. vesicarius.
3. Investigation of the lipoidal matter of the aerial parts of R. pictus and R. vesicarius.
4. Investigation of the carbohydrate content of the aerial parts of R. pictus and R. vesicarius.
5. Investigation of the protein and amino acid content of the aerial parts of R. pictus and R. vesicarius.
6. Quantitative estimation of total phenolic and flavonoidal contents ofthe aerial parts of R. pictus and R. vesicarius.
