More specifically, there has always been a need for anti-inflammatory phytotherapeutic agents as the commercially available synthetic anti inflammatory drugs have their own limitations due to undesirable side effects. Hence, novel potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs without considerable side effects from the natural sources are under evaluation. &lt;em&gt;Tecoma stans&lt;/em&gt; (Bignoniaceae) is an ornamental plant found throughout India. It has been shown to have variety of medicinal properties. In the present study, we have shown that potential anti inflammatory activity of different parts of &lt;em&gt;Tecoma stans &lt;/em&gt;(&lt;em&gt;T.stants&lt;/em&gt;) and compared with standard drug. &lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;To evaluate the &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; anti inflammatory potential of different parts of &lt;em&gt;T.stans&lt;/em&gt; ethanolic extract and to compare the anti inflammatory activity with standard drug ibuprofen. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; The ethanolic extraction of &lt;em&gt;T.stans’s&lt;/em&gt; bark, leaves and floweres was done as per the standard method. Different concentrations (100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 μg/ml) of the extracts were used for anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of albumin denaturation. All samples were analyzed in triplicate. The results were statistically analyzed. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;All the three parts of the plant extract have shown to have anti inflammatory activity in a dose-dependent manner. However, the leaf and flower extracts of &lt;em&gt;T.stans&lt;/em&gt; were found to have 100 percent anti-inflammatory pontential than standard drug ibuprofen. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It is concluded from the present findings that T.stants possess anti-inflammatory properties which could be due to presence of active constitutents presen in the plant extracts. Hence,&lt;em&gt; T.stans&lt;/em&gt; may serve as one of the anti inflammatory herbal durgs for Endontic infection-induced inflammation and related to dental diseases. Further studies on the identification of the active principles present in the leaf and flower extract are warranted to assertatin its potentials.&lt;/p&gt;

(Raktaka) has been recorded since ancient times. It belongs to family Rubiaceae. The roots and leaves are used in treating various ailments. The flower too has therapeutic potentials. Although the flowers are used as medicine by traditional healers it is not known too many. The current study is carried out to provide scientific details in the identification and the authenticity of &lt;em&gt;I. coccinea&lt;/em&gt; Linn. floral parts with the help of pharmacognostical standards. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacognosy of Ixora coccinea flower parts was carried out by macroscopy, microscopy, histochemistry, powder study, proximate analysis and preliminary phytochemical studies. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The macroscopic detail of the flower is calyx persistent; corolla scarlet orange with long corolla tube; the stamen alternipetalous and gynoecium bicarpellary with basal placentation. The transverse section of flower passing through corolla, corolla tube, calyx and ovary showed the presence of unicellular trichomes, cells of anthocyanin pigments, oil globules, calcium oxalate crystals and paracytic stomata. Powder microscopy showed the presence of oil globules, calcium oxalate crystals, anthocyanin pigments, starch grains, unicellular trichomes, stomata, vessels etc. Physicochemical studies revealed total ash (3.1%), acid insoluble ash (0.2%), water soluble ash (1.25%), alcohol soluble extractive value (11.25%) and water soluble extractive value (12%) respectively. Histochemistry and Preliminary phytochemical screening goes concurrent with the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The observations confirmed that in&lt;em&gt; Ixora coccinea&lt;/em&gt; each floral whorl has its diagnostic characters. These will help in identification, authenticity and to put forth the pharmacopoeial standards of the said plant.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1042</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bindu Gopalkrishnan*, Roy Chiranjeev &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Research on Moringa mainly pivoted around its leaves and seeds because of their immense nutraceutical potential but recently there is a greater interest in flowers too, mostly inspired by the positive outcomes of several pharmacognostical studies on flowers. Moringa flower is a rich reservoir of bioactive phytochemicals and crude flower extracts showed promising antibacterial, antifungal, anti larval, antioxidant, anti inflammatory and anticancer properties. This review concisely presents the various phytochemicals identified and isolated as well as the various bioassays employed to validate the therapeutic potential of flower. It is prepared after a detailed search on Google scholar. Reports on &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; flower were sorted and tabulated based on the bioassays performed and solvents used for extraction. A grading pattern is adopted for comparing efficiency of different extracts in eliciting bioactivities. Many of these studies are at the preliminary stage but two of them present advanced mechanisms. First is the presence of a proteinaceous larvicidal compound &amp;lsquo;MoFTI&amp;rsquo; in the flower capable of inhibiting larval trypsin of &lt;em&gt;Aedes aegypti&lt;/em&gt;. The second describes flower extract&amp;rsquo;s anti inflammatory mechanism effecting via NF-KB pathway and consequent suppression of inflammatory mediators&amp;rsquo; activation, but short of identifying lead compound/compounds behind this effect. Thus authors suggest further studies to elucidate the detailed mechanisms, identify and isolate the active compound or compounds of synergism behind the many therapeutic potential of the Moringa flower extracts.&lt;/p&gt;
