Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The medicinal plants are sources of important therapeutic aids for alleviating human health and improving the quality of life. The present research study was undertaken with an objective to investigate the phyto-chemical and standardization of the leaf part of the plant- Leucaena leucocephala lam. of Sikkim Himalayan region. It is locally called Subabul in hindi, an ethno-medicinally important plant belonging to the family-Fabaceae. The phytochemical analysis was performed by using different types of solvents system ranging from non-polar to polar solvents in the well equipped laboratory and revealed the presence of maximum phyto-constituents in the leaf part of the plant such as Alkaloids, Sterols, Tannins, Proteins, Terpenoids, Carbohydrates, flavenoids, Sugar Moieties and Cardiac glycoside. On other hand, the loss on drying of the powder of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) was found to be 9.8% w/w. The ash value of powder leaf was determine as total ash, water soluble ash and acid insoluble ash was found to be 17.33%, 7.73%and 6.8% respectively. The Extractive Value was found to be 1.82%, 1.6%, 1.83% and 0.83% in Hexane, chloroform, Ethyl acetate and Methanol extract.
