Abstract

Present learn about offers with the Pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, antioxidant endeavour of crude tablets got from leaf, stem bark and fruit of Gardenia latifolia Aiton (Family- Rubiaceae), an ethnomedicinal tree species. Different components of this plant are used in curing pores and skin diseases, wounds, and in snake bite. Pharmacognstic learn about published that epidermal cells of abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces are irregular in form and anticlinal partitions of the cells are barely wavy. Stomata are strictly paracytic kind and found solely in the abaxial leaf surface, i.e., hypostomatic kind of leaf. Stomatal index is 29.85. Palisade ratio is 3.02. Only non-glandular kind of trichomes is located in each the leaf surfaces. Trichome index is 1.42 and 1.98 in top and decrease surfaces of the leaf, respectively. Vessel factors are of reasonable in size, perforation plate easy and obliquely placed. Histochemical localization checks printed the presence of tannins, proteins, alkaloids, glycosides, lignin, etc. in a range of tissue zones of the leaf petiole and stem part. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, anthaquinones, glycosides, etc. in the methanolic extracts of leaf, bark and fruit of this plant. Physical constants like moisture content, complete ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash price have been decided for all these three components of the plant. Total ash price was once excessive in fruit (10.0%) that was once accompanied by using bark (5.6%) and leaf (2.65%). Contents of complete phenolics, flavonoids and tannins had been located greater in bark than that of leaf and fruit components of this plant. IC50 values of methanolic extracts of leaf, stem bark and fruit in DPPH scavenging recreation find out about were145.83 μg/ml, 79.74 μg/ml and 117.93 μg/ml respectively. In ABTS scavenging learn about bark confirmed minimal IC50 fee (73.87μg/ml) accompanied by way of fruit (109.26 μg/ml) and leaf (186.27 μg/ml). Similar vogue was once additionally observed in Total Antioxidant Activity assay, the place most antioxidant doable is measured in case of bark (41.20 mg AAE/g) accompanied through fruit (31.23 mg AAE/g) and leaf (13.45 mg AAE/g). Present find out about highlighted that bark section of this medicinal plant is extra mighty than the leaf and fruit components in admire of its phytochemical content material and antioxidant activity. The find out about additionally presents some diagnostic pharmacognostic facets by means of which the crude capsules of it can precise be identified.
