Phytochemical screening of Soymida febrifuga Roxb. (Meliaceae) root bark

Abstract

Soymida ferifuga, also known as mamsarhohini, is a plant in the meliaceae family that has a long history of use
as a folk remedy. The root bark is often used to alleviate symptoms of leucorrhea, menorrhagia, and
dysmenorrhea. The phytochemical properties of root bark were studied for the first time.The purpose of this
study was to conduct a phytochemical evaluation of the plant using a variety of physicochemical characteristics
(such as LOD, ash value, extractive value, phytochemical screening, and HPTLC fingerprint). According to the
physicochemical indicator, all values are acceptable. Alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, and other chemicals have
been detected by phytochemical analysis. Based on the results, it can be stated that the test parameters may be
used as identification tool for this plant, and subsequent study work can be based on these parameters. HPTLC
fingerprint demonstrates the separation of greatest number of chemical moieties.
