Calcium oxalate needles (raphides) were detected, besides protein percentage was of 4.72%. Qualitative phytochemical screening of the methanolic extract of the leaves of <em>A. dioscorides<\/em> L. has shown the presence of active phytochemicals: Flavonoids, coumarines, tannins, sterols, triterpenoids, saponins, amino acids, and alkaloids; while the cardiac glycosides, and anthranoids were absent. It was concluded that the extraction of <em>A. dioscorides<\/em> L. leaves by methanol with sonication for 20 minutes gave better yields than the extraction with steeping for 24 hours. The extraction yields were 8.86% and 7.64% respectively. Also the total phenolics content (TPC) of the methanolic extract of the leaves was 13.29 mg Gallic Acid Equivalent\/g dry plant, and the total flavonoids content (TFC) was 7.32 mg Rutin Equivalent\/g dry plant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words:<\/strong> <em>Arum<\/em> <em>dioscorides <\/em>L., Calcium oxalate (raphides), Active ingredients, Total Phenolics Content (TPC), Total flavonoids content (TFC).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/v4n3p5.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PDF<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmad Mohieddin Abdulaziz AlAyoubi*(1) Khalil Ibrahim Kurdi(1)\u00a0 Abdullah Ibrahim Kataa(1) and Saleh Tarif Trefi(2) (1).
