A complete documentation of the ethno-biological information presently existing among the diverse communities is needed at an earliest so as to restore the traditional medicinal knowledge. Research to find out scientific evidence for claims by tribal healers on Indian herbs has been intensified as being evidenced from many cited literatures. Once these local ethno medical preparations are scientifically evaluated and disseminated properly, people will be better informed regarding efficacious drug treatment and improved health status. Hence, the plant, Mimosa pudica Linn. was selected for the present study based on its medicinal use in the locality. Successive solvent extraction of the root powder of M. pudica was carried out as per the standard procedure using various solvents like, petroleum ether (40o-60oC), ethyl acetate and methanol. Preliminary phytochemical analysis, isolation of metabolites and antimicrobial activities of the extracts as well as the first time reported isolates were carried out. Preliminary phytochemical studies of vaious solvent extracts revealed presence of many biologically important secondary metabolites, such as, alkaloids, steroids, phenolic compounds, tannins,...

Euphorbia prostrata Ait.(Euphorbiaceae) is a small, prostrate, annual green herb sometime purple tint in colour. It is widely distributed globally and used as antihemorrhoidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hypolipidemic, antidiabetic, antidirroheal, antiasthmatic and for various skin diseases. The microscopy of root shows the presence of obliterated cork cells, phelloderm, cortex, endodermis, phloem, medulary rays and xylem; the stem shows the presence of multicellular trichome, cuticle, epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, phloem, latex canal, xylem and pith; the leave reveal the presence of multicellular, multiseriate glandular hairs, epidermis, vascular bundles, stomata anomocytic and anisocytic. The vein islet number and vein termination number have also been determined. The powder study reveals the presence of epidermal cells, trichomes, parenchymatous cells, pollen grains, vessels, fibers and stomata. The water soluble, alcohol soluble and petroleum ether extractive values were determined. The total ash, water soluble ash, acid insoluble ash and sulphated ash were also observed. Preliminary phytochemical studies revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, glycosides and saponins in the alcoholic extract of the plant. This is the...
