Abstract
Background: Cassia siamea belonging to the family Caesalpiniaceae have been used widely in ethnomedicinal practices for its medicinal value. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate Standardisation parameters for Leaves of C. siamea Plant and Phytochemical evaluation of Petroleum Ether Extract, Chloroform extract and Methanol Extract of Leaves of same plant. Materials and Methods: Evaluation of leaf samples was performed by determining morphological, microscopical characters, physicochemical, and phytochemical analysis as per the World Health Organization Guidelines. Results: Morphologically, Leaves were alternate, pinnately compound, with 6 to 12 pairs of leaflets. Microscopically, Anomocytic and Paracytic stomatas were found only in the abaxial surface C. Siamea. Phloem was encircled by xylem. Lower epidermis shows presence of unicellular covering trichomes. Physicochemical analysis and phytochemical analysis resulted in a valuable data to establish standards for the plant. Conclusion: The establishment of pharmacognostical, Physicochemical and Phytochemical parameters of leaf material will be useful in identification and standardization of C. siamea in obtaining quality formulations.
