Abstract
Madhuca indica
is a plant having tremendous therapeutic potential but not fully utilized. It
is hidden from eyes of researchers and other botanist. It is a multipurpose
tree used in traditional medicine, was investigated for for its phytochemicals
composition. In present study the bark was taken for investigation of bioactive
compounds. The bark of Madhuca indica is extracted using aqueous,
ethanol and acetone solvents, and the resulting extracts were screened for the
various bioactive compounds. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence
of flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, steroids, alkaloids, reducing
sugar, tannins in the extracts. The results suggested that Madhuca indica
bark is rich source of bioactive compounds, which may contribute to their
potential medicinal and therapeutic properties. The study provides a
comprehensive understanding of the phytochemicals constituents of Madhuca
indica bark and highlighted the importance of exploring traditional
medicines. In future the plants may contribute to the new drugs development.
