Abstract
This paper was deals with the detailed study of pharmacognostic, phytochemical, physicochemical and TLC profile study of leaves Bougainvillea glabra Choisy. This leaves were collected, dried in a shed, made a powder by grinding and Powdered of leaves were subjected to alcohol extraction by Soxhlet extraction method. The extract then subjected for chemical tests to investigate chemical profile of Bougainvillea glabra. Work comprises of collection, identification, microscopically, morphologically, phytochemical evaluation of leaves of plant and TS. Shows presence of epidermis, vascular bundles, trichomes (uniseriate, multicellular, bulbulous) and stomata actinomycetes type. Extraction is carried out by using soxhlet extraction technique. Alcoholic exact of leaf shows presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, tannins & saponins. Physicochemical analysis was carried out on this leaves, which include parameter such as water soluble ash, acid insoluble ash, sulphated ash of plant were determined. Tlc profiling of plant extract in different solvent system was performed & different rf values are obtained.
Keywords: Bougainvillea glabra Choisy, Microscopical study, TLC, Physicochemical screening.
