Pharmacognostic and Preliminary Phytochemical Investigations on the stem of Saccharum spontaneum
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The genus “Saccharum” includes about 150 species under the family “Poaceae”. This occurs throughout India along the sides of the river and tropics of old world, it is widely distributed in Andhra Pradesh, Vellore district in Tamilnadu. Scientific information on their pharmacognosy, Phytochemistry and pharmacology are very scant. Hence the current study describes some pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical investigations undertaken on the stem of one of those species namely Saccharum spontaneum. The samples for research were collected from Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India and authentificated by Dr.P.Jayaraman Ph.D., a director of plant Anatomy Research Centre, and then subjected for morphological, microscopical and physicochemical analysis. The parameters from the above wererecorded with an objective of drawing an attention on those populations as well as a reference for further scientific investigations.
