Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
The present study reveals the pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical studies of Stachytarphyta jamaicensis (L) Vahl. The objective of the present work comprises of collection, identification, macroscopical, microscopical, loss on drying, pH of aqueous solution, total ash value, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, alcohol soluble extractive, fluorescence analysis and phytochemical evaluation of Stachytarphyta jamaicensis (L) Vahl stem. The stem section was taken and microscopical studies were carried out. The T.S of stem shows the presence of cuticle, epidermis, vascular bundle, parenchyma, collenchymas and chlorochymatous tissue. The Preliminary phytochemical tests on various extracts indicates the presence of carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds and tannins, flavonoids, saponins, phytosterols, fixed oils and fats, gums and musilages, terpenoids, glycosides.
