Pharmacognostical and Preliminary Phytochemical investigation on the leaves of Morus alba Linn
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
A monoecious , occasionally dioecious shrub or moderate sized tree with a fairly cylindrical straight bole up to 3m height and 1.8m in girth, mulberry is grown extensively for leaves used for rearing silk worms. 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 leaves of one of this namely Morus alba Linn. The plant leaves were collected for this work at Govt.Agriculture College Othakadai, Madurai, Tamilnadu. The leaves were identified and confirmed by Dr.D.Stephen PhD, Botanist, American College of Arts and Science, and then subjected for morphological,microscopicaland physicochemical analysis. The parameters from the above were recorded with an objective of drawing an attention on those populations as well as a reference for further scientific investigations.
