Pharmacognostical, Phytochemical and Pharmacological Studies on Leaves of Butea Monosperma (L) Toub

The present study was Butea Monosperma (L) Toub to extract the active constituents are tested the phytochemical constituents present in them for the isolation of compounds, we were using chromatographic techniques by developing various solvent systems and confirm the active compounds present in them by different spectral studies herbal drug and increasing demand especially in disease of liver, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, renal diseases, inflammation, infectious diseases, arthritis and skin disease etc., The plant Butea monosperma (L) Toub. has been examined to gain an insight of its pharmacognostical, phytochemical and pharmacological behavior. The pharmacognostical studies include macroscopical studies, microscopical studies, ash values, extractive values, and loss on drying. The phytochemical investigation showed the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, tannin, protein and amino acids, fat, phytosterols, flavanoids in various extracts. The findings were collaborated by TLC and HPTLC studies of all extracts indicate the presence of compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that aqueous 200mg/kg extract showed significant antidiabetic activity. Surprisingly ethanolic 200mg/kg extracts has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic activity. Therefore these studies are needed to isolate and characterize the active principle of Butea monosperma (L) Toub. which can have offer antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic properties and to establish its mechanism of action
