| Abstract: | Kakadshringi, a well-known crude drug used
as antidiarrheal in Indian system of traditional medicine, is leaf gall of Pistacia
integrrima Stew. ex Brindis., Terminalia chebula Retz. and Garuga pinnata Roxb. This study presents
pharmacognostic and
phytochemical evaluation on
galls of three botanically different plant species to establish identification
markers. Phytochemical
analysis revealed that gallic
acid and phenol content were higher in P. integrrima than other two samples. Occurrence of gallic
acid was: P. integerrima (15.41 ± 0.016 mg/g) > T. chebula (8.65 ± 0.024 mg/g) > G. pinnata (6.80 ± 0.0113 mg/g). Thus, P.
integrrima, which contains higher
amounts of tannins than T. chebula and G. pinnata, is recommended as potential for antidiarrheal
activity. |
