PHARMACOGNOSTICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILES OF Peltophorum pterocarpum LEAVES
Peltophorum pterocarpum (Family- Caesalpiniaceae) is used in different systems of traditional medicine. The present study was planned to investigate the macroscopy, microscopical characters, quantitative profiles, powder microscopy, physicochemical parameters of leaves of Peltophorum pterocarpum and preliminary phytochemical screening of HAEPP (Hydroalcoholic extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum). Pharmacognostical parameters are helpful in identification, authentication and control the adulteration of crude drugs. The preliminary phytochemical screening reveals the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, proteins, amino acids, sterols, terpenoids, tannins and coumarins
