Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Gynandropsis pentaphylla syn. Cleome pentaphylla, (Capparadiaceae) is commonly known as ‘Pandharitilvan and Safedhulhul’. G. pentaphylla is an annual, erect, branched plant various parts of the plant are reported as rubefacient, counter-irritant, anthelmintic, in neuralgia, headache and otalgia. Terpenes, β-carotene, sterols, fatty acids, flavonoids, glycosides and alkaloids were reported from various part of plant. The seeds are anthelmintic and rubefacient and used internally for expulsion of round worms and externally as counter irritant and in headache. The seeds and leaves of G. pentaphylla have immunosupressent, anthelmintic, antifungal and antimicrobial activity. Objective of present work is to evaluate different extracts of G. pentaphylla for preliminary phytochemical screening and for milk induced eosinophilia and leucocytosis in mice. Different extract shows presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and Saponins. All the extracts were found to be significantly effective against eosinophilia and leucocytosis in mice. The aqueous and methanolic extracts shows prominent inhibition when compare with standard drug dexamethasone.
