Phytochemical screening and TLC studies of leaves and petiolesof Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz an endangered ethno medicinal tree

Abstract

The leaves and petioles of Oroxylum indicum were subjected to a phytochemical screening. To evaluate
the numerous bioactive substances. Trease and Evans (1989) and Harborne (1998) methodology 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. It is possible to cure a wide range of illnesses with the help
of these biologically active chemicals.
