The present study was undertaken to evaluate the phytochemical profile and microscopic characteristics of Terminalia plant material in order to establish its identity, quality, and therapeutic relevance. Phytochemical are abundantly present at varying concentrations in numerous medicinal plants. Microscopic examination of the powdered drug showed characteristic diagnostic features such as distinct epidermal cells, lignified fibers, stone cells, xylem vessels with spiral and pitted thickenings, calcium oxalate crystals, and starch grains, which serve as reliable markers for authentication. The powder exhibited fair flow behavior, as indicated by a Carr’s compressibility index of 18.00% and a Hausner’s ratio of 1.22. Proximate analysis revealed the presence of essential nutritional components, including moisture content, ash values, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and carbohydrate content, providing insight into the physicochemical stability and compositional quality of the plant material. Fluorescence analysis was conducted under visible and UV light using different chemicals and solvents. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Powdered &lt;em&gt;Terminalia chebula&lt;/em&gt; was evaluated using physicochemical tests: powder characterization, extractive value, alcohol, and water-soluble matter, Ash value and LOD. Flow properties were determined using standard pharmacopeial parameters, including bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, Carr’s compressibility index, and Hausner’s ratio. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Organoleptic characters of Haritaki revealed dark brown color, characteristic odor, astringent taste and fine texture. Physicochemical parameters resulted in water-soluble extractive (67.32±0.83), alcohol-soluble extractive (42.6±1.20), total ash (3.18±0.12), acid insoluble ash (2.78±0.66) and LOD (6.37±0.53) respectively. The phytochemical analysis shows the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, carbohydrates and phenols.&lt;/p&gt;

It is used for the treatment and prevention of several diseases. It is imperative that available and effective methods can be utilized to assess the quality of samples before being consumed. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;A study of the leaves was conducted to ascertain its physicochemical, phytochemical, heavy metal and microbiological content to develop a simple but acceptable criteria which could be useful in ensuring the quality of this crude drug. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The qualitative and quantitative morphological features, physicochemical, phytochemical, microbial load and flouresent features of the leaves of&lt;em&gt; M. oleifera &lt;/em&gt;were evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; leaves were found to be glaborous with opposite leaflet, leaflet tripinnate, with a micronate apex and possessing an entire margin. Microscopy showed vein islets, rosette calcium oxalate crystals, polygonal epidermal cells and unicellular trichomes. The 50 % ethanol soluble extractives of &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; were highest, followed by the water and petroleum ether. Tannins, alkaloids, gylcosides, phenols, flavonoids, phenols, gums, and mucilage were present. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The documented pharmacognostic features may be used as part of daily protocols to correctly identify and determine the quality of the the crude plant. The preliminary phytochemical, heavy metal and microbiological limits can be further used to ascertain the quality of raw materials of &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; before they are used.&lt;/p&gt;

Tuberculosis treatment is faced with many challenges, resulting in a prolonged treatment regimen and potential treatment failure. There is a need to search for more favourable treatment options. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed at investigating the pharmacognostic and mycobactericidal properties of &lt;em&gt;P. amarus. &lt;/em&gt;Since toxicity could also be an issue, the mutagenic activity of this plant was also assessed. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The macroscopic, microscopic, and physicochemical characteristics were assessed with reference to the Quality Control Methods for Herbal Material WHO (2011). The mycobactericidal activity was determined by the agar diffusion and broth dilution methods, while mutagenicity was investigated by the Ames test. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;P. amarus &lt;/em&gt;contained tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins and steroids. The 50% ethanol extract exhibited activity against &lt;em&gt;M. smegmatis&lt;/em&gt; at 100 mg/mL with an inhibitory zone of 2.0 cm.&lt;em&gt; P. amarus&lt;/em&gt; had a minimum inhibitory concentration of 50 mg/mL while that of rifampin was 0.1 μg/mL. &lt;em&gt;P. amarus&lt;/em&gt; showed weak mutagenicity at a concentration of 10 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The documented pharmacognostic characteristics can be used for quality control of the crude plant material. The mycobactericidal activity also affirmed its folkloric use in the treatment of tuberculosis. The mycobactericidal activity can be further exploited for drug development.&lt;/p&gt;

Some researchers have revealed the presence of several pharmacology activities. Thus this study is an attempt to present an overview of pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation reported on this plant. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;In the present investigation, various pharmacognostic standards have been investigated to prove the authenticity of the plant for the claimed traditional uses. This will help in the identification of powder drug prior to using in medicine. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopic, microscopic and physicochemical evaluation, of the drug was performed using standardized procedures as mentioned in the WHO and Indonesian Herb Pharmacopoeia guidelines.Thin layer chromatography profile was done using some different mobile phase system to the identification of the drug. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The physicochemical parameters such as moisture content, ethanol- and water-soluble extractive, total ash, acidinsoluble ash value, were determined. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, tannins, steroids, terpenoids in the ethanolic extracts of leaf of this plant. The TLC profile of &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;-hexane, dichloromethane and methanol extract were carried out 5, 7 and 2 spots respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study on pharmacognostical, physicochemical and phytochemical standards could be useful information for authentication and preparation monograph for &lt;em&gt;C.sebestena&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
