COMPARATIVE PHARMACOGNOSTIC CHARACTERIZATION OF AERIAL PART AND LEAF CALLUS OF MOLLUGO PENTAPHYLLA L. A POTENT ETHNO MEDICINAL HERB
AbstractMollugo pentaphylla L. (Molluginaceae), commonly known as carpetweed, has tremendous medicinal importance. Although the plant has been scientifically evaluated for its various biological activities but no work has not been carried out till date on comparative pharmacognostic characterization of the in-vivo plant and leaf callus. This study aims to investigate the comparative pharmacognostic and physicochemical standards for aerial parts and leaf callus of M. pentaphylla. The measures taken were macroscopic, organoleptic study, anatomy, powder microscopy, ash values, loss on drying, fluorescence analysis and extractive yield. This is the first study providing complete pharmacognostic profile of M. pentaphylla and hence will be useful for identification and authentication of the species for future studies.
