ABSTRACT
M. nagi is an important medicinal plant with various pharmacological properties used in and around the world. The present work is an attempt for the phytochemical screening, physico-chemical evaluation of different extracts prepared from the leaves of M. nagi. The preliminary phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, saponins, sterols, tannins and triterpenoids. The physicochemical evaluation of the leaves was done. Ash content analysis showed total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, alcohol soluble ash and loss on drying (0.01 %, 0.004 %, 0.01 %, 26 %, and 3.48 % respectively). The present study is a mile stone to explain the efficacy and potency of the herb. Keywords: M. nagi, Chemical composition, Physico chemical constant. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
