| Abstract: | Madhuca longifolia (Koen.)
Macbr. var. latifolia (Roxb.) A.
Cheval. of Sapotaceae family is commonly known as Mahuwa. The stem bark
is used by the aboriginals of Maharashtra in
curing itch, bleeding gums, cyst, ulcers, madhumeha, etc. Although the bark is
in use, deliberate attempt to study them has lacked. Pharmacognosy is the first
step in deciding the status of a plant organ as a crude medicine; hence the
current study was done. The present study comprises macroscopy, microscopy,
histochemistry, physicochemical parameters, fluorescence analysis and
preliminary phytochemistry. TLC of saponin present in the drug is carried out
to establish the biomarker compound. These studies will help in establishing
the pharmacopoeial standards for the said drug. |
