PHARMACOGNOSTIC ANALYSIS AND PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDICINAL PLANT CANTHIUM PARVIFLORUM LAM.
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The crude extract from leaf of Canthium parviflorum Lam. in different solvents were subjected to physico-chemical, fluorescence analysis, phytochemical and antimicrobial study. The microscopic analysis revealed that in C. parviflorum there is presence of starch grains. The ash value was 5.81 % in C. parviflorum. The fluorescent analysis at 366 nm of C. parviflorum powder extracted with alcohol showed orange coloured fluorescence with other it was no fluorescence. The extraction value with different solvents exhibited that C. parviflorum had maximum extractive value with chloroform followed by benzene, ethanol and petroleum ether. The phytochemical screening of the various extract of C. parviflorum revealed that, the benzene extract showed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids. The chloroform extracts of the leaf showed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids. Anti-bacterial screening in C. parviflorum using stem revealed that the ethanol solvent showed maximum inhibition against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and chloroform solvent showed maximum inhibition in case of gram-negative bacteria (Serratia marcescence).
