| Abstract |
: |
Kigelia pinnata DC.,is an ornamental tree, comes under the family of Bignoniaceae. The plant had been already studied by preliminary phytochemical analysis and tissue culture aspects mainly for its medicinal properties. Through the qualitative phytochemical and anatomical observations, we identified the presence compounds such as glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids and phenols in leaf tissue. Anatomical investigations also offered some clues on the localization of certain specific metabolites in this species. In this present study, different microbes namely E. coli, ( gram - ) and Staphylococcus ( gram+) are used as test organisms to determine the antimicrobial efficacy and also the pharmacological actions are performed through CNS activity using the Wistar albino rat animal model for the leaf extracts from the selected plant. |
