Description

The Herb
Latin Name Rubia cordifolia (Linn.)

Sanskrit / Indian Name Manjishtha

Rubia cordifolia is a perennial prickly creeper or climber with a wide range of morphological characters. The roots contain a mixture of purpurin (trihydroxy anthraquinone) and munjistin (xanthopurpurin-2-carboxylic acid), and small amounts of xanthopurpurin or purpuroxanthin and pseudopurpurin (purpurin-3-carboxylic acid). Several substituted naphthoquinones and hydroxy anthraquinones and their glycosides have been isolated from the roots. Aldehyde acetate, dihydromollugin, and rubimallin showed antibacterial activities.
