ABSTRACT:
Wrightia tinctoria R. Br. is considered to be very effective jaundice plant in Indian indigenous system of medicine. The juice of the tender leaves is used efficaciously in jaundice; also crushed fresh leaves when filled in the cavity of decayed tooth relieve toothache. In Siddha system of medicine, it is used for psoriasis and other skin diseases. In order to ensure the use of only genuine and uniform material in preparation of herbal formulation, work on standardization was carried out. Morphological and anatomical aspects as well as differential microchemical response have been worked out to identify the diagnostic features of the leaf. Physical constant values involving moisture content, ash and extractives as well as qualitative and quantitative estimation of various phytochemicals have been studied. The presence of lipid, saponin, tannin, alkaloid, phenol, steroid, flavonoid, and some other chemical constituents are recorded.
Keywords: Wrightia tinctoria, leaf drug, pharmacognostic and physicochemical standardization
