Phytochemical study and Investigation on root of Bauhinia variegata

By Dr. Arvind Kumar

The Research carried out with the Pharmcognostical investigation which included Organoleptic, microscopical and physico-chemical evaluation i.e. ash values, extractive values, moisture content, swelling index, foaming index and foreign organic matter content.Further coming to the phytochemical studies, successive soxhlet extraction revealing the yield of the plant drug in different solvents. The root part of Bauhinia variegata was extracted using ethanol media and obtained extract was subjected to pharmacological study by experimental animal models.Bauhinia variegata (root part) plant extract concluded anticonvulsant activity using MES induced convulsant models in rats.Thus the investigations, in reference confirmed that the root part of Bauhinia variegata had potential anticonvulsant activity.However, further research on detailed pharmacological screening, isolation of active phytoconstituents responsible for its various therapeutic activity and clinical study for evaluation of safety and efficacy of the drug need to be assessed in future.
