Pharmacognostical study on leaf of Dalbergia melanoxylon guill and perry

Abstract

In the present work, pharmacognostical studies are carried out on leaf of Dalbergia melanoxylon Guill & Perry to investigate its medicinal properties. The study consists of macroscopic and microscopic characters of the leaf drug. Determination of leaf constans, physico – chemical parameters like total ash, acid soluble ash, and percentage extractive of crude drug have been obtained. Fluorescence analysis of the leaves was carried. Preliminary phytochemical screening of Methanolic extract of crude drug will be studied for different phytochemicals. By establishing the quality parameters, it can be a better used plant for further research and pharmacological analysis.
