Phytochemical and Pharmacognostical Studies of Anogeissus Acuminata

Abstract

Medicinal plants are one of the oldest valuable sources of medicine provide by nature to mankind. Medicinal plants are one of the important sources of research of new drugs. Many medicinal plants and herbs hold their prestigious position in the field of natural medicine among which Anogeissus acuminata belonging to family Combretaceae was vital one.
 In the present study was intended to evaluate various physicochemical, phytochemical standards like TLC, HPTLC and Pharmacognostic parameters which will be helpful to ensure the purity, safety and efficacy of the medicinal plant.
 Anogeissus acuminata was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening, done to estimate as foreign organic matter, morphological evaluation. Total ash values, physicochemical, Thin layer chromatography (TLC), HPTLC phytochemical analysis and secondary metabolites present in the plant were investigated for the extract.
 All physiochemical properties were found within the measureable amount as foreign organic matter less than 1% w/w, Total ash values was 12 % w/w with respect to air-dried crude drug. Moisture content was 3.074. Thin layer chromatography (TLC), HPTLC studies were carried for the better isolation and identification of the different components of ethanolic extract. HPTLC carried out in the solvent system - Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Acetic acid (4:3:1). The report of HPTLC indicates the presence of sixteen spots. Preliminary phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of plant extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids glycosides, tannins and phenolic compounds.
 KEYWORDS: TLC, HPTLC, Phytochemical characterization, Anogeissus acuminata

Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents in the Seeds Extract of Most Commonly Consumed Fruits in India and Their Antioxidant Properties

“…These fruit residues might be a rich source of potential antioxidants. In India, approximately 80% of people rely on traditional plant-based drugs for their primary healthcare needs (Hashempour et al, 2010;Yadav et al, 2018). The fruit residues such as peel and seeds are may contain several natural compounds such as carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids.…”

“…Qualitative phytochemical analyses Different techniques described in the literature were used to analyse qualitatively the phytoconstituents contained in the aqueous and hydromethanolic extract, such as: alkaloids (Tiwari et al, 2011); tannins (Eke et al, 2014); Saponins ( Eke et al, 2014); flavonoids (Tiwari et al, 2011); coumarins (by UV lamp observation at 365 nm); carbohydrates (Elzagheid, 2018); reducing sugars or glucides (Tiwari et al, 2011); cardiac glycosides (Dominique et al, 2018); triterpenic phytosterols (Yadav et al, 2019).…”

Effects of Various Herbal leaves Extract and Their Phytoconstituents in the Cure of Diabetic Nephropathy by ‘Streptozotocin-induced in Rats’ Model - A Review

“…It is also known as also known as Button tree. These secondary metabolites can be very significant for humans because they can help treat a wide range of diseases, including eczema, headache, skin ulcers, menstrual cramps, rheumatoid arthritis, TB, dermatitis, and medications, even though the organic ingredients produced by plants may not be essential for their life or normal physiology 60 . On experimentally created diabetic nephropathy, Anogeissus acuminata leaf extract was investigated for its anti-diabetic and renoprotective activities.…”
