About Plant
| Plant ID | PLN0028 | ||
| Plant Name | Withania somnifera | ||
| Common Name | Ashwagandha, Indian ginseng | ||
| Vernacular Name | Ashwagandha | ||
| Plant Description | The main phytochemical constituents of W. somnifera are withanolides, a group of triterpene lactones that include withaferin A, alkaloids, steroidal lactones, tropine, and cuscohygrine. Forty withanolides, twelve alkaloids, and various sitoindosides have been isolated from this plant species. As these withanolides are structurally similar to the ginsenosides of Panax ginseng, W. somnifera is commonly referred to as "Indian ginseng". | ||
