Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz is a critically endangered ethno medicinal tree, thus its leaves and petioles were subjected to a phytochemical screening and TLC investigations.

Abstract

The leaves and petioles of Oroxylum indicum were analyzed for phytochemical content. In order to
evaluate the numerous bioactive substances. Trease and Evans (1989) and Harborne (1998)
methodological standards were used for the analysis. Flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, glycosides,
sterols, fats, and oils were found in high, moderate, and low amounts, respectively, when phyto
component analysis was performed on extracts from different regions of the plant. These biologically
active molecules have great promise for the future treatment of a wide range of illnesses.
