2019

Aegle marmelos L., family Rutaceae, is a sacred plant mentioned in various Hindu scriptures. It has both medicinal as well as cultural importance. In the present investigation, macroscopy, microscopy, and powder microscopy studies, physicochemical analysis, detection of heavy metals, analysis of aflatoxins, screening of microbiological parameters and High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint profile of methanolic extract were performed. Analysis of 04 aflatoxins (A1, B1, A2, and B2) was performed and found that no aflatoxins were present, authenticated by comparing the R f value and colour of the standards spot with sample on TLC plate. Qualitative microbiological analysis of pathogenic bacteria, i.e., Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., Pseudomonasaeruginosa and Escherichia coli were done and found that no bacterial pathogens are present in the Aegle marmelos root bark extract. HPTLC chromatographic fingerprint of Aegle marmelos root bark was done by using m...

Aegle marmelos (L) Correa (family: Rutaceae) is used to treat a wide range of ailments. This plant has been around since prehistoric time. As it produces a number of alkaloids, all aspects of the plant, including fruits, leaves, bark, stem, and root, are used to treat variety of diseases. Antidiarrheal, antidysenteric, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties are some of the most important medicinal properties of Bilwa. Fruit-derived compounds have been shown to have biological promise in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes, gastric ulcers, and hyperlipidaemia. Many experiments have been conducted on its medical properties and uses which demonstrate its importance in today's environment. The anatomy, distribution, dietary action, Ayurveda applications, and pharmacological properties of this plant is outlined in this review manuscript.

Pharmacological and Phytochemical Screening of Aegle marmelos (L.) and Cinnamomum tamala (Buch.-ham.) Leaves for Therapeutic Efficacy

Abstract: Medicinal plants contain bioactive components like phytochemicals, mineral elements and other pharmacological properties such as swelling and foaming index, which possess medicinal property which have therapeutic efficacy against the diseases and disorders. In present study swelling index of A. marmelos leaf sample (400 ± 3.6%) is significantly (p<0.001) higher than C. tamala (100 ± 3.5%) leaf sample and the foaming index of A. marmelos leaf sample (111.11 ± 2.5%) is significantly (p<0.001) higher than C. tamala (46.29 ± 3.1%). Among the trace mineral elements phosphorus content of both plants (28.5 ± 0.2 mg/100g and 62.10 ± 4.2 mg/100g of A. marmelos and C. tamala respectively) significantly (p<0.001) is higher and sodium content (0.3 ± 0.02mg/100g and 0.6 ± 1.4mg/100g of A. marmelos and C. tamala respectively) is significantly (p<0.05) lower among all the studied trace elements. A. marmelos and C. tamala leaf sample contain polyphenols significantly (p<0.001) highest (6.7 ± 0.61 g/100g and 16.7g/100g of A. marmelos and C. tamala leaf respectively) and flavonoids in lowest quantity (0.9 ± 0.25 g/100g and 1g/100g of A. marmelos and C. tamala leaf) among all the studied phytochemicals. Reducing power of C. tamala significantly (p <0.005) higher (0.72, 0.74 and 0.77%) than A. marmelos leaf extract (0.47, 0.55 and 0.57). Both the leaf extracts posses significantly (p < 0.005; and p <0.05 for C. tamala and A. marmelos) good reducing power as compared to the ascorbic acid.

Evaluation of Active Phytochemicals in Methanol extract of leaves of Aegle marmelos Linn.

IOSR Journals , 2019

Aegle marmelos (L.) is a spinous deciduous and aromatic tree of family Rutaceae with long, strong and axillary spines. The bael tree contains furocoumarins, including xanthotoxol and the methyl ester of lloimperatorin, as well as flavonoids, rutin and marmesin; a number of essential oils; and, among its alkaloids, a-argarine (allocryptopine), O-isopentenylhalfordinol, O-ethylhafordinol. Aegeline(N-[2-hydroxy-2(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]-3-phenyl-2-propenamide) is a constituent extracted from bael leaves. Aeglemarmelosine, molecular formula C 16 H 15 NO 2 [α] 27 D = +7.89° (c 0.20, CHCl 3), has been isolated as an orange viscous oil. In the present investigation, the bioactive compounds in the leaves of Aegle marmelos (L.) were identified using HPTLC and GC-Mass spectroscopic techniques. The results revealed that the aqueous powder leaf extract of Bael showed eleven different phytocomounds with with eleven different Rf values from 0.04 to 0.47. The aqueous leaf showed 16 different compounds with 16 different Rf values from 0.06 to 0.51. The methanol powder extract of leaf showed one Rf value more or less equivalent to Rf value 0.70 of marmelosin. The methanol leaf extract of leaf showed one Rf value more or less equivalent to Rf value 0.69 and 0.75 of marmelosin. GC-MS chromatogram of the methanolic extract of leaves of Bael showed thirty-four peaks of phytoconstituents. In all thirty-four, compounds were identified from the GC-MS analysis of a methanolic extract of Bael leaves exhibiting various phytochemical activities and might be responsible for various biological activities.
