PHARMACOGNOSTIC AND PHYTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF BERGENIA CILIATA RHIZOME
Journal Title: Int J of Pharm Rev& Res - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Bergenia ciliata belongs to family saxifragaceae. The genus Bergenia comprises of about 6 species. Bergenia species distributed in South and East Asia and European countries. In India these plants grow at high altitudes in the Himalayas usually in rocky areas and on cliffs. The current study was carried out to provide requisite Pharmacognostic and Phytochemical details about the plant. Pharmacognostic investigation of air dried coarsely powdered rhizomes was carried out to determine its morphological as well as microscopical profile. Phytochemical investigation of aqueous extracts shows the presence of flavonoids, tannins, amino acids and proteins whereas the ethanolic extracts shows the presents of glycosides, flavonoids, amino acids, steroids, tannins and phenolic compounds. The physicochemical parameters of rhizomes are Total ash- 4.1±0.2 % , Acid insoluble ash- 2.0±0.2 %, Water-soluble ash- 2.3±0.2 %, Sulfated ash- 5.8 % , Water soluble extractive - 19.5±1.5 % , Alcohol soluble extractive - 17±1.0 % , Petroleum ether soluble extractive - 6±0.7 % , Moisture content - 3.2±2.0 % . The result of the present study can be useful in setting some diagnostic indices for the identification and preparation of monograph of the plant.
