Abstract

Introduction: Shirisha is a prevalent drug primarily known for its Anti poisonous activity. The drug has multifaceted activities and is indicated in various diseases. The Phyto Constituents contribute to pharmacological activities. Hence, the phytochemical analysis of different parts of Shirisha is taken up in the present study. To screen the Shirisha Patra (Leaves), Pushpa (Flowers), Beeja (Seeds), and Kanda Twak (stem bark) by Phyto-Chemical method. To collect different parts of Shirisha & to subject all the samples for the physical constituent, chemical analysis by standard following methods.

Materials & Methods: Materials: The leaves, seeds, stem bark and flowers were collected from the same plant from its natural habitat. The collected plant parts were cleaned, dried, and powdered. Physical analysis were done with the help of digital Ph meter, Pycnometer, Hot air oven etc. and chemical analysis of ethanol and aqueous extraction was done with soxhlet apparatus. Methods: Standard macroscopic methods were employed to analyze the physical parameters of the Shirisha (Albizialebbeck (L.) Benth) leaves, seeds, Flowers & stem bark. Fresh samples of all parts were collected, and dried powders were studied under a microscope to reveal the plants' microscopic features. A preliminary phytochemical investigation of the plant material was also conducted using standard methods.

Results & Discussion: Phytochemical screening of successive extracts of both extracts of different parts (leaves, Seeds, Pods & Stem bark) of Shirisha shows the presence of Alkaloids, Proteins, Saponins, Steroids, Flavonoids and Triterpenoids.
