Abstract

Various Pharmacognostical and phytochemical parameters such as microscopy, physicochemical and behavior of powder drug on treatment with different chemical reagents were studied on the stem bark Sterculia foetida L. belongs to family Sterculiaceae. The successive extraction of plant bark was undertaken by using various solvents of increasing polarity and the extracts thus obtained were subjected for phytochemical analysis. The phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids etc. These preliminary data may be helpful in developing the standardization parameters of Sterculia foetida L. stem bark.
