The aim of the current study was to assess a scrupulous pharmacognostic cram is to enhance the constructive information with regard to its species identification, characterization and standardization of a dynamic folklore therapeutic plant Pterolobium hexapetalum. It is one of the largest scrambling shrubs belonging to the Leguminosae family having significant medicinal properties. The aerial part of the fresh and healthy plant materials was collected from the Maruthamalai hill, Coimbatore District with a strong traditional background. The confined name of the species is “Karuindu” used as medicine in Siddha, Ayurveda and folk medicine for treating various illnesses. The external morphology of study species, the anatomy of leaf and stem, physicochemical examination of plant powder, powder with diverse chemical reagents, fluorescence analysis of therapeutic powder, ash values, mineral studies, heavy metal analysis, extractive values, phytochemical analysis, GCMS analytical studies were examined with the aim of drafting pharmacopeial principles. The studied plant contains 19 bioactive chemical constituents which confirm the healing domination. The analytical assessment of study species authenticates the presence of various bioactive constituents with a broad range of remedial properties which is used to treat manifold muddle as well it provides a comprehensive insight regarding the phytoconstituents profile which could be browbeaten for the maturity of plant-supported drugs.

Introduction Malaria is an important parasitic disease that affects mostly the African continent. Traditional medicine is very important in Mozambique and traditional healers play a key role in the primary health care services, particularly in rural areas. We aim to report the results of an ethnobotanical survey undertaken in Mogovolas district, northern region of Mozambique. We recorded and identified the medicinal plants used by traditional healers for treatment of malaria, as well as the mode of preparation and administration. Methods The study was conducted in 14 villages from Mogovolas between June and August 2015. Sixteen traditional healers were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Under their guidance, we collected medicinal plants and prepared herbarium specimens that were sent and kept at Eduardo Mondlane University Herbarium for scientific identification. We searched for information on the in vitro and in vivo studies of the cited plants for antiplasmodial activity. Results Traditional healers from Mogovolas district reported the use of 37 plants to treat malaria, belonging to 22 families. The most used species are Ochna kirkii Oliv. (5 citations), Ehretia amoena Klotzsch and Pteleopsis myrtifolia (M.A.Lawson) Engl. & Diels (both with 3 citations). These plants belong to Ochnaceae, Boraginaceae and Combretaceae families, respectively. The herbal remedies are prepared using leaves (22/37), roots (18/37), stem barks (16/37) and stems (3/37). The administration of the herbal remedies was made essentially by oral route and bathing. Conclusion The ethnobotanical data resulted from this study can be the starting point for further chemical and pharmacological studies aiming to identify medicinal species with antimalarial activity, thus, open the insights for the discovery of new antimalarial substances, as well as better integration of the traditional medicine into the national health systems, particularly in developing countries, as the health system coverage is limited.
